hayden . . .

So many of you guys give me the best information to go from - bedding, brand of the bedding, links to bedding, paint colors and brands, pictures of the rooms, etc. . . . .

Then, sometimes I get the dreaded - "I only know that the colors are {insert color here}" - but I totally get it! Trust me, I love giving my art as a gift as well! But my stomach drops when I can't get the exact description of bedding. The only reason I'm afraid to do art with vague description of the decor, is no matter how good/great the art looks - if it doesn't match, it's just not going to work!

Well, this is one of those times folks! My dear friend, Joanne, only knew the wall color {chocolate brown} and the bedding was a muted pink with creamy colored dots and trees! I don't even remember how she put the overall style - I just know that the painting pictured fits that description {or at least in my mind}. Now, she has so much faith in me - she actually said, "I know it will look good - just do what you do."

Okay, so now my anxiety level is high as I await the final result of this coordination.


This is actually my second attempt at this piece. The first one was just a hot mess. The "muted pink" had a lavender tint to it and the border I originally tried - uhmmmm, yeah . . . all I can say is "oh my!" Trust me people, it wasn't pretty.


My husband informed me that this is his favorite one I've ever done - very much his style. I do like this one a lot. And I really like the way the font looks! I'm slowly getting better at this! I know you all are rolling your eyes right now - but seriously, I have a standard and I'm almost there!

I will let you guys know the end result with the "hayden" . . . .
