In our bedroom a while back I threw together a bedskirt as quickly as humanly possible to hide the stacks of under bed storage bins full of off season clothes, but in the back of my mind I knew I wanted to go back later and add some decorative tape. I'm thinking the right trim would help integrate the green-gray of the bedskirt in with the rest of the room and give the whole thing a more finished, custom feel. (For some reason I can't get the real color of the fabric to show through right in photos, and here it looks much darker and honestly uglier than it does in person. I promise! :))
I would also love to make my own pelmets for the windows in this room and use the same trim. I love how crisp and handsome pelmets look, and what a fun DIY project? That's definitely on my to do list.
Now I just have to track down just the right trim...
I automatically love anything in Robin's egg blue! Since we have an overall blue-green feel in this room I think it would work with the dust ruffle. And it's cheap-- always a plus:)
This pretty tape would tie in the red dresser in our room perfectly.
I love the scrollwork on this trim, but the color may be just too similar to the main fabric. I'm thinking we need some contrast. Still, it's tempting.
Check out what I think might be my current frontrunner. Even if not for this project, this guy is going somewhere in our house. I love that little bit of lavender!
Any suggestions?

Pretty! I think you need to do a post about bedding...like, what different things you can do with quilts, duvets, blankets, coverlets, and those lovely embroidered sheets that go OVER the blanket (but is not the fitted/flat sheet).
