New art for Corals room and kitchen chairs re-do

Ok so remember my new (but old) kitchen chairs that needed some new fabric? Coral and I went on a mission to find just the right fabric for them yesterday.

When we got to the fabric store, I was overwhelmed. I knew I needed to use an outdoor fabric because its stain and water resistant (hello toddlers in my house with sticky ketchup hands). I didn't realize though that there would be so many I would love. They had a ton of funky fabric, with big bold flowers on it, both in aqua and yellow, the accent colors in my kitchen/dining/ living room. They had stripes, circles, damask, and more, more, more. I seriously stood there for 45 min trying to decide what to choose.

Eventually I decided to go with a basic stripe. As much as I would have loved to do a funky flower pattern, I didn't want whatever I picked to compete with my curtains. Also, I do have a hubby, and I knew a floral pattern would not be his number one choice.

This is what I eventually picked:



It's still fun, but not over the top. It gives the chairs a hit of personality, while not competing with the rest of the decor in the room. Of course I loved some of the other fabric so much that once I got it home, I second guessed my decision. However, when Andrew finally noticed them this morning, he loved the fabric I chose. Phew!







We also got some new art for Corals big girl room. I have been thinking for a while now what I could do for art over the pallet bed I made her. The wall space seemed huge and a bit overwhelming to me. Originally I thought about doing a gallery wall, but yesterday, I found something so much better.




It's HUGE! Look, it almost goes all the way up to the ceiling! It appears to be three large canvases, BUT, it's actually a room divider. When I saw it though, I knew it would be perfect for art over her bed. And, if I ever need to divide a room for some reason, I can always take it off the wall.




Coral loves it. She has her little kitchen in the room, and with this art, she is calling her room her restaurant. She loves the two ladies sitting down, drinking their tea in her "restaurant".

What are your thoughts? Did I chose the right fabric for my chairs? And right art work for Corals room?
