So I found the lamp shade I wanted for the lamp going in the baby's room and I painted it the perfect pink that matches everything else Ive painted and now I just want to add a little detail. The issue Im having is in the pic below:

I cant decide between these 2 ribbon styles. Im a matchy type of person so as you can see by the pic below my crib bedding is brown, camel and pink so the brown is more sophisticated (although I would like a thicker ribbon I want to use what I have), the flowers are just cute. So how do I decide? I also have a camel colored chenille yarn that I could put on instead of ribbon...

PLEASE help me decide - let me read your opinions Im desperate! lol Oh and here are some other pics of things in her room because I think the theme leans more toward a sophisticated look all together...

THis has a sort of crackled finish with white, pink and gold and its not crooked on the wall lol

I was thinking of changing the white ribbon to brown but I wanted to keep the colors well circulated through everything and there is a gold sheen on these letters as well (I also have been told that the N is upside down and havent fixed it yet lol).

I like the brown ribbon.

You're right, it is a sophisticated look.  Therefore, the floral ribbon wouldn't work.  I voted for the thin brown ribbon.  It will tie into the classic feel of the room quite nicely & continue the flow of the room!

Congratulations on your little girl!

I voted "other" but thats only because I think the ribbon should be wider...but definately BROWN! The flowers just dont go....

Quoting melissa1983:

You know, you could do two thin strips of brown leaving a little bit of space in between.  (For example, if the ribbon is 1/4" wide, leave about 3/16" space between your two layers.)  It will look lovely, whatever you choose!
