Just a little post, to show off my latest project. Those two pillows in the middle? My latest sewing project. I was inspired by the Nester's post about her bedroom makeover (also check out her series on "10 minutes to a room that you'll love"--she rocks). It's all about making your bedroom the one that you love to be in, one that is comfortable & luxurious & peaceful. I love that she says that she loved a room at an inn at which she stayed & it made her mad that she only allowed herself that kind of beauty once in awhile...why shouldn't it be an everyday thing?
My bedroom isn't like an inn (yet!), but those pilllows are one more thing to luxe up the room...AND--I love this part--they cost me about $6 to make! I had the fabric left over from the curtains that I made when we moved in (you can kind of see them in the corner of the top picture in this post). I found the pillow forms for $3 each at IKEA. Who knew? IKEA is a hidden source for many a decorating gems, apparently.
I also have a new bedskirt to put on, but I need to modify it before putting it on. It was made for a bed without a footboard & we've got one, so I've got to do some cutting & hemming. I'll show the whole bed once I get that on.
Nice work!
