The Big Reveal

I am still not 100% completely done with the bedroom makeover but parts of it are at least finished enough to finally show off.   It takes me a ridiculously long time to use a sewing machine – hence the 3 week delay!  But I did get the stuff done I was working on – so here goes:

I will make a separate post about our new bed so you can see all the pics I took as we were building.

The pillows I made.  I just recovered the old pillows we already had.  If you don’t look too closely at my sewing they look beautiful!

 

Our new nightstands. 

Would you believe that I bought these off of Craig’s List for $10 -

and turned them into this?   I love it!

And some old lamps had got a coat of spray paint and glaze and the shade got some new fabric and this:

now looks like this:

And my curtains.  Definitely adventurous for a novice sewer such as myself.  Seriously, my experience/training on the sewing machine was my mom taking 2 minutes to show me how to thread the needle and fill the bobbin.  That’s why my sewing takes SOOO long!  They are definitely not perfect, but I hung them up anyways!
