I have been s l o w l y working on my thrifty bedroom redesign and really don't have much to show you. So why not write a blog about it, right?!
"Hello friends, guess what I've done on my room makeover??
Nothing!!!
How interesting! Let me tell you all about it!"
Well actually , I've done a few things but nothing worthy of a reveal so I'm just going to give you some sneak peaks.
First, I got this lovely stencil from Cutting Edge Stencils which will be showing up in my bedroom makeover. And, I'll be doing a giveaway sponsored by them in the near future, stay tuned for that!
Next, I'll share with you a sneak peak of my bedding, it was free last year when I got my king bed, I didn't use it at the time because it didn't go with my other decor but now it is perfect!
While working on my room I had a major curtain fail.
I asked Mr. Chic to re-hang the curtain rod to go for the dramatic "long-drapes-high-curtain-rod" look because we have a vaulted ceiling. Unfortunately, we had a miscommunication of where the rod was to be placed. It ended up in this awkward area about 6 inches above the window frame trim. I guess I shouldn't have left the room during installation. FAIL
The other fail were these curtains. I'm not much for animal print but these monochromatic shimmery zebra panels looked fabulous in the store. I thought that since the pattern was monochromatic I could get away with the zebra print. The pattern wasn't even the problem, they just looked a little too dressy for the look I'm going for. DOUBLE FAIL
I will take them back after I work for 20 minutes to figure out that weird perfect fold to get it back in the tiny package but I won't be able to get it right and they'll be an ugly lumpy mess stuffed back in. Does anyone else have trouble with that?? I can never get curtains back in the package right, ever.

Anywho, I hope you've enjoyed my little sneak peak at our master bedroom redesign. Stay tuned for a Cutting Edge Stencil giveaway!
Happy Weekend! :) xoxo

Thanks for the peak into the project. As a fellow redecorator and blogger, it's reassuring to know other people have lofty dreams that take some time to pull off. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure the color is right but did want to suggest you check out some drapes I used in a decorating project recently. They're from Bed Bath and Beyond and are called the Venice Window Panels. They come in lots of colors, I used silver. I think my detail shot is better than anything they provide on their website so if you'd like, check it out here: http://www.buildsewreap.com/2011/03/basement-office-nursery-is-complete.html
And no, nobody can get those things folded right, it's like folding a fitted sheet, there's just no truly nice way to do it.
Ack for folding stuff! Fortunately my husband is pretty good at such things so I put him in charge of that.
ReplyDeleteSorry about all of the fails, but sometimes it takes a few before you get it right! Can't wait to see what you do!
I feel your pain... if I leave the husband with a project, it's a disaster. He need supervision. :)
ReplyDeleteI laughts out loud when I read about you trying to get the curtains back in that (small package). My husband said "what so funny" I said you wouldn't understand......you had to been there,done that. I enjoy your blog.
