All right, I have been scolded by my hubby about my lack of blogging lately and told that I have "lost my following". My response was we need to be more exciting and do things worth blogging about. We are kind of lame. Anyway I will try to do better.
Right now I'm kind of working on finishing a couple of already started rooms in our house. The guest room is almost finished and looking super cute. Here are a few pictures:
I mentioned before that we had all of the furniture already for this room- it was our old bedroom set before we upgraded to a king bed, so that helped a lot to keep the cost down a bit! We got the fun yellow and white bedding at target. The chandelier I found on KSL for $20. It was a dark bronze color and so I gave it a few coats of gray spray paint and voila. The curtains are also from target. The throw pillows on the bed I made. The gray one is a pillow that went with our current bedding and we don't use so I decided to recover it to fit this color scheme and I am pretty happy with how it turned out. The white pillow isn't finished yet- I am going to copy the target pillow that is white with the yellow rosettes on it- just haven't done it yet. I could not bring myself to spend $25 on a pillow so I got the fabric for about $3 and had the pillow form already. The sunburst mirror has a $100 price tag on the back from Pier 1 and I paid $20 from a consignment store. And last but not least I tried to copy some typography signs with the you are my sunshine poem. I just typed them in the coordinating colors and a fun font in word and printed them out on my home printer. I found the frames at a garage sale, sprayed them with a black spray paint and there you have it. I have one more pillow to make to put on the chair, and the rosettes to make for the pillow on the bed and we're done. Total room cost approx $150.00. Not too bad.
A great way to make your own pillows on a budget are to get the forms at garage sales! I have started stocking up on them and they usually run about .50 each and you can just unzip or cut off the original cover and recover it yourself!!
