The Nester is Having a Party!!!



The Nester is having a party and since we're all invited I couldn't resist!!! But the only mistreating I've done to my windows is to not mistreat them at all. :( So I decided to post pictures of the room I am currently working on along with the fabric swatches. Maybe you can help me decide how to mistreat my windows! The yummy hounds tooth fabric is for the chair. It's only a picture of a picture of the chair, but think you can see it. The chocolate ultra suede will be the piping on the chair. The light background fabric will be for the windows. The picture that shows mostly walls is just to show the technique I used on the walls. My camera is at Sony right now so these pictures were taken with my camera phone. Opposite the love seat are two very long windows. (they measure 71" in length) Behind the loveseat to the right are two more. These rooms are supposed to be a living room/dining room but we just aren't dining room kinda folks. So there will be a baby grand in the dining room! These are the most "formal" any room in our house will ever be. The rest is very casual. Any ideas for me??
Thanks for letting me come to the party. I really would have hated to miss it!

Is it okay if I covet your walls? They are gorgeous, as is everything else. I'm absolutely no help with the mistreatments, but I like the colors and think you're definitely on the right track.

I have the same question about my windows!
I wonder if the Nester does house calls? :)

I really like the floral fabric you have picked out. I'm not that great at decorating though (but thanks for the comments! I truely appreciate it!). The only thing that comes to mind when making mistreatments formal is to get them to the floor. I would love to see what you come up with!

Oh! By the way, the color of paint I used is called Grasslands by Valspar.

Lee, thank you for the sweet comment on my blog. Yes I did use wood finals that I painted black and screwed into the wall. Love the houndstooth....I have black/white houndstooth pillows on my sofa.
