Romantic. I'm working on my bedroom lampshade now. Using cool Walgreen gift bags for cover media because it has cool black and white pattern. The black on the gift bag feels like a velour. For my mirror, I think I will try something with White Lace, and somehow incorporate my other colors of grey, whites, pinks and black colors. I don't have pictures of mirror yet because I have a bunch of boxes in front of it temporarily now. But, I'm reupholstering vintage chairs with fabrics. The pictures are what I'm using for my lampshades. Haven't started that project yet because everything is "STILL" in dream stage. But, I'm getting closer....The Roll of gift paper is reversible and I plan to use it somehow in a mod podge or decoupage project. here are pics of gift paper and bags. For now this is the start. Thanks everyone.

with. When My granddaughter is here I place a few of her favorite stuffed animals on the bed so that she has familiar "friends" when she comes to visit. I also change out bedside reading materials to kids books rather than adult material. I place her framed picture on the dresser (along with those of her sister and cousin) and for fun, I place a few toys or games she enjoys on the window seat. Easy. I also keep a set of drawers for each grand childs "Grandma's house clothes" so it feels like their own. It's a start so that you can personalize these tings in your home...hope it was helpful!

Does anyone know of books or magazines showing how to make a simple headboard for a twin bed?

Judi on Apr 17, 2013

My granddaughter and I made a headboard for her double bed when she was in law school. She ...»
made it so she could either hand on wall or stand behind bed. She purchase a piece of plywood and had them cut to her measurements. Bought padding and approx. 1/2" foam padding to cover board. Padding stapled to board first, then cotton padding over that to make it puffy. She drilled holes in plywood at intervals to pull buttons yarn through. Once she had the padding on she covered everything with a suede type material in color of her choice and pulled covered buttons, in this case about 2" she had covered in matching fabric and stapled down on back of plywood.
It not only turned out beautiful, but that was about four years ago and she is still using the headboard with a little updating today. I had some collapsible saw horses we laid board on to work on it. I helped her because I have always sewed, but she did most of the work and really is a novice. Try it, you'll like it!

Bedroom: Linen sheets? Yay or nay?

I'm considering investing (yes investing!) in a set of linen sheets. These are not inexpensive (at least in my book) because so far my biggest splurge was 100% organic cotton. So, the question is, has anyone out there purchased linen sheets and do you think it's a good choice? I love the look of them but have never had them. Thanks!

I'm convinced :-) I'm going to start my "linen sheets piggy bank" fund :-)
