Boys' room Redesign coming soon
In need of a project and feeling very tired of the vintage lemons, I re-did the boys' room with various scraps of things in aqua and navy. I made quilts, bed skirts, pillow shams and curtains with more exposed aqua serger seams and various t-shirt scraps and a queen sized sheet, then built the oldest a bed with a door and some spare bits of lumber, painted an old dresser regal blue (a brighter bluer navy) and made a ceiling installment meant to look like train tracks (they do, sort of but my housemate thought they were ladders). The only thing I purchased was a quart can of the navy paint to the tune of 12.99$ and a few scraps of 1x2 from Home Depot's 50cent bin. It looks good but not quite good enough to take pictures of yet. I need to make a trim to top the head and foot boards of the bed and find an old doorknob to put in the hole where a doorknob should be and cut a few stray threads and you know--just spruce it all up and stage it first. But pictures are coming.

hey there! just catching up on your crafty adventures. I had not read through these posts until the other day. I LOVE that you are re-using fabric from used clothes. it makes my recycle-loving heart pitter patter :)
ReplyDeletealso, i have some wonderful fabric (in form of horrid full-length polyester dress) that i know you could find a wonderful, other purpose for. it's a graphic print with aqua background. very mod looking. i've been saving it for a while but i know i will never get around to using it as i can only sew buttons and maybe a hem on a good day....i can send you a photo or if you want to be surprised just send me your address :)
