I Need a Little Help From My Friends

First I'll show a little corner of my dresser top.  Since I haven't quite convinced Sweet Hubby to let me paint our bedroom furniture yet, I'm planning a dresser scarf to brighten up the spot.  I have a box of quilt blocks that I made a couple of years ago and never put together.  My plan is to sew a few of them together for the scarf, quilt it and crochet an edging around it using the green or pink thread (or both).  Oh, and the gold mirror behind the thread?...it's about to get a paint job to blend in with my new bedroom color theme.



Now, here's where I need some help from my friends.  I'm trying to decide which picture to hang above the love seat in our bedroom.  Here are my choices sitting on the love seat:


Picture #1 (a Home Interior picture with a re-painted frame)


Picture #2 (another Home Interior print in a thrifted frame)




Picture #3
I fell in love with this picture when I saw it across the store. Well, I thought it was a picture, but found out it was a puzzle when I got closer. I bought it anyway. Not only was it beautiful, but it was on clearance.  I got it for 20 cents!  There is no writing at all on the box and it will be the exact size as the black frame (above) when cut out.  So if I use this one I will put it in that frame.  I'm not sure if I would paint the frame or leave it black for a "statement" piece.  I haven't opened the box yet so the plastic is making a glare in the pictures. I'm saving the actual puzzle for later.  I plan to spread it out as a bribe reward for me for all my finished projects. :)




So here are my three choices.  Remember I live in the house with three guys, so all feminine opinions are needed and appreciated. :)

  5. Definitely #3 with the black frame. It will be gorgeous! The others are a little bit too pastel and I dont think they will show up as well and just fade into the background. Cant wait to see which you pick though. It is your room you know ...:)

  8. Okay Sherry. I know you asked for my opinion. This once, I will refrain and try to help you to decide for yourself. With your recent declutter things, I would think you would figure out what I am about to challenge you to do. Pretend you have to get rid two and keep only one. Pretend you are at a yard sale, you see all three, they are only $.25 each but you only have one quarter, and you must decide. Which one gets put in your trunk. After all, you are the one who will see it every day. Here is another idea for you. For one week put one choice on the sofa by itself. After three weeks, make your choice.

  9. I pick number three :) It brings all of your colors together with the love seat and the wood furniture :) However, I love what Sharon said. The one YOU love the most is the one that will work the best :) Happy Pink Saturday !!! :)

  10. Absolutely #3! Of course I have the oval Home Interiors in MY bedroom and I'm sick of looking at it and the hearts are way too country for my tastes. Seriously, I think #3 would also be the most unique since it's actually a puzzle.
