Yay! I finished one of my projects! My goal was to get my bedding finished before my hubby came home from his ski trip {tomorrow}. It ended up being a busier week than I thought, so I'm super happy that I was able to finish!
Here is the before:
And the after:
I
{{love}} how it looks with our
new wall.
And the best part is, I didn't have to spend too much money, since I had most of what I needed already. For the pillows in the back, with the big ruffle, I used a tablecloth that I bought at Target a few years ago. It never fit quite right on my table, so it was hardly used. And I used the finished edges of the tablecloth for the fineshed edge of the ruffle so, it made it easy & saved me time.
For the patterned pillows in the front, I reused some fabric that I begged April for. Do you see it on her couch, there? She recovered those pillows but left the fabric I wanted inside. She's such a sweet sister, she actually unpicked the new fabric from the pillows & took the fabric off for me, then sewed her's back up. Thanks, April! :)
I did buy some fabric for the other two pillows. I wanted some texture on them {thanks Sheri & Mom for the suggestion} so I ran into JoAnns & found some chenille. But, instead of using the right side of the fabric & decided that I liked the wrong side better.

I've never worked with chenille before. Boy! It is messy! After I was finished, it looked like it had snowed in my house. It was all over the place...
But, it was worth it, because I love the stitched white on white stripe.

I can't believe my bedroom is finally coming along. You might have noticed the two different lamp shades. I'm experimenting a bit with them. Now, I'm getting ready to:
-redo the lamps
-refinish the nightstands
- & make an art piece for above the bed
Do you think I can finish all of that tomorrow?
That's my goal. :)
1. Where did you get that awesome CD case? It's from Target, but I got it a loooong time ago.
2. I so want to know how you did this. It took some time, but I feel it was totally worth it. Here's what i did. I uploaded my photos to Costco.com's photo center & ordered a photo disc from them. I put one year on one disc if it fit. I think I had one year that needed two discs.
3. Did you just fit them all in that case or did you delete some photos make new discs? I didn't have to delete any photos. The discs from Costco's photo center hold a lot more than the disc package I bought from Costco.
