The inspiration behind everything was this sweet, bold, simple fabric.

And one of my favorite things about it, besides the awesome unconventional colors, was that precious little bee.

If you will indulge me, I would just like to show you some pictures of the finished project.

  1. Positively gorgeous!! I’ve been loving a blue/green combo lately–the color of crisp summer leaves against brilliant sky. You captured it perfectly. 🙂

  2. So fabulous, Amanda – as usual!
    Hopefully this won’t sound offensive in any way, but I think that’s surprisingly some good inspiration for my new bathroom!!! How ironic is that??? Seriously, though, I’ve been debating colors for my bathroom. Blue with browns? Or green with browns? Heck, why not blue AND green and NO browns?! I’m loving it.
    Hugs to you!

  5. Seriously, Amanda???????????
