Jack and Jill Bedroom Palette


There are only two bedrooms that share a bath at Villa Cantina. One has a queen bed and the other the only full size. I decided to use the same fabrics and colorways in those two rooms for simplicity and continuity.

                 Carpets will be wall to wall Sea grass .  If any of you read Joni Webb’s blog Cote de Texas.  She chose it as one of her top ten design elements http://cotedetexas.blogspot.com/2009/07/cote-de-texas-top-ten-design-elements-3.html.  If you haven’t read her blog you should.  She has one of the most informative researched design blogs out there.  Apparently it is as comman as a cowboy hat in Houston, but here on the Central Coast of CA they are not so sure. I have encountered similar problems like House and Garden Style of New York http://houseandgardenstyle.blogspot.com/2009/11/seagrass-headaches.html.  However the bedrooms of Villa Cantina are going to be sea grass!

I am going to use these lampshades from Shades of Light
with these old balusters from Capitol Salvage as bases if I can convince the “boys” to turn them into lamps
