Tips for Posting on D&R board?
I don't normally go to that board and I need help. Is it OK to ask for ideas even though I am not an active participant or is that looked down on?
#1 picked out this bedspread for her bunk bed:
I will need another bedspread that compliments the bedspread above because I didn't want to do two of the same. The bottom I want to be more like a couch or something to that effect. here is what I didn't buy but probably should have:
And the color pallette I'm thinking of is this:
That is all I have to go on. The room is small with one window. I could provide pictures of it too. If I were to post something like this on D&R, would they give me some ideas as to what and how to paint the walls and any other decorative aspects? Or would my post just get ignored because I don't post there? I don't feel like posting a huge thing there and getting ignored so I'm asking here first.
And of course I shared here in case any of you have ideas. Thanks!
Re: Tips for Posting on D&R board?
I have no tips for posting on D&R but wanted to say I love the bed spread she picked out! And I like the color palette you have chosen.
Is the second bedspread reversible? If so, I would consider having the lighter color face out since the bottom bunk can often be dark. I would definitely stick with a solid color, especially if you want it to function like a couch. Maybe put some patterned pillows along the wall edge of the bottom bunk to further the couch effect.
I had a bunk bed that I shared with my little sister. I always wanted a string of lights hung somehow from beneath the top bunk so it was easier for me to read. I thought, and still do, that would make an awesome cozy place to hang out. If you pulled this off somehow you would make 1989 Hoektastic super jealous.
Go for it. They will welcome you and give you ideas.
I LOVE the color pallette you picked. Gorg.
Thanks for the advice!!! That second bedspread seemed so common, I just thought I could find it at Kohl's and I looked through their entire website and couldn't find it. But, I definitely like the idea of using a lighter color on the bottom. Very good point.
I LOVE the lights idea. That is normally where she reads prior to bed. HOpefully we can make 1989 Hoektastic green with envy (of course in the shade that I have listed above ;-).
tee hee - Bet you can't guess where I got it from...
LOVE!
I'm excited for the new (someday) house and redoing bedrooms. I plan to use Pinterest for colors when that day comes.
I like the bunk bed idea too. As you can probably tell from my Pinterest boards.
For color pallettes, follow Angie Sandy or Angela Sandy. You can find her on my "Color" board. I repin a lot of her pallettes. I don't know why I do that because I will never be able to use all of them!
