bought the nate berkus welted headboard from hsn in pewter. i liked this one because it's simple and it'll be easy to make a slipcover for once i decide to redo the bedroom again, and again, and again...
of course then i needed some new (budget) bedding to go with the headboard. so i went to target and picked up the home pebble quilt & sham in dark gray...
i stopped by my all time favorite fabric store over the weekend too, zimman's, to browse for (discounted) pillow fabric to coordinate with my revamped bedroom. i nearly fell over when i saw this thomas paul print for duralee, a black & white dragonfly pattern. i decided to make my larger decorative pillows out of this fabric...
these are how the finished ones all turned out, not horrible right?...
currently i have pink floral sheets that were my mother's long long ago (like before i was born) on the bed. they are probably the softest sheets i will ever own, after years of having worn-in from being slept on...but i decided it was time to change them to these lattice print sheets from Nate Berkus's hsn collection. i chose the pale gray color naturally...
a few months ago i bought a pair of these lamps from homegoods for either end of the long dresser (the square shades on them are from target). sorry for the crappy photos, they're from my blackberry...
and this one for my nightstand (you can see the actual wall color much better in these photos)...
the only thing left to do is strip my dark wood dressers & night stands, have them painted black, and put some new hardware on them...need to save up for that though. we use this wonderful place, minuteman furniture stripping & restoration in somerville at work, so i'm going to take the pieces of furniture there to have it done rather than do it myself, they have VERY fair prices & do wonderful work. can't wait!
i love new spaces, don't you? what i love even more if figuring out how to do them on a tight budget (story of my life!).
