Bedding can really make or break a room. The problem is that it can also make or break a bank account too! There are so many layers to a bed, and really everyone of them is important, from the mattress protector, up to those cute throw pillows, you want to make sure they are comfortable and practical. You need to ask yourself, do I really want to pick up 9 throw pillows, 2 shams, and 4 pillows every morning when you make the bed? If your answer is yes, then go for it! If not, you might want to consider a cleaner less fussy look. After all, it’s your bedroom and it needs to work for you.
Realizing that you can spend a fortune on bedding (and yes it will look like it), but there are also so many DIY ways to make your bedroom your own. The possibilities are endless as your imagination. This board contains ideas for some DIY bedroom ideas. There are ideas for re-making a bed skirt that is too small for your current bed, re-purposing old Vintage pillow cases as lamp shades, making pillow cases and curtains from linen towels, using dropcloth for curtains or a bedskirt, and of course a few ideas for those DIY throw pillows you will be picking up every morning. Plus there are lots of other ideas that can help to cut the cost of decorating your bedroom.
I was particularly excited to see the post on the drop cloth curtains with the fabric top. It’s so similar to what I did in my own bedroom, except I was lucky enough to find valances at Target that someone had returned from an on-line purchase marked at 75% off. Along with some curtains I had bought at Goods, I cut the valances down the center and then had them sewed along the top to create a very custom curtain, all at the beautiful price of $160 (including the seamstress costs). Did I mention that is for 3 windows or 6 curtain panels!! To see the whole board go here: http://www.hometalk.com/b/1012065/diy-bedding-ideas
