Most of the stuff I’m using to accessorize is stuff I already have. Like on some of those decorating shows on HGTV (I love those!) I decide to use stuff that is around my house because I have plenty.
You remember I painted the tray. The picture is of Dick’s late Grandmother. The candles came from my office where Dick had kicked out my nice decorations with his cluttered CDs. (Click HERE to be reminded of the chaos.)
The glass blown purse was in my bathroom.
The cherry blossom came from my mom’s house.
She has plenty of stuff so I relieve her of some of it.
I love CHERRY BLOSSOMS!!
The vase I already had and the tray is other one that I just painted.
The crystal looking, green plastic pieces I bought at Walmart for $3.
DECORATIVE CUSTOM PILLOWS
I decide that it would be too expensive and difficult to find throw pillows to match the room so I head to JoAnn’s to see what I can find.
I find this silken fabric that is just BEAUTIFUL and even has some cherry blossoms on it!
(And it’s on sale…30% off!!!)
I solicit my mom to sew me some simple pillows. Of course, I want them NOW so I can see how they fit in the room. My mom only had time to do the magenta and blue ones and because she’s doing me a favor, I can’t exactly crack the whip to get them all done. I’m at Fanny Mae’s mercy.
Thanks Mom, the pillows look awesome. Love you!!
PARTIALLY FINISHED
So, here’s a sneak peak of the partially finished room.
This Jane is LOVING how the room turned out.
Still a WORK IN PROGRESS and waiting on my GREEN PILLOWS, need to add some last finishing touches, and then there’s the CLOSET!!
Spring cleaning is definitely in order here. We need to sort through all the clothes the girls have and get rid of all the ones they don’t fit.
