I also whipped up a few throw pillows. It is amazing how much faster I am now that I have learned how to add zippers and don’t have to mess with the envelope back. Shown with lamp set #4 that is also likely to be returned. The husband isn’t convinced the pillows “match.” But that’s sort of the point and I think they look cute together. Especially once I finish the drapes.
I searched every fabric store in the city for cheap, heavy white fabric and black grossgrain ribbon to finish the drapes, but refused to pay full price. The drape project will have to wait until the supplies go on sale!
I also made a minor change in our master bathroom. Also known as the worst room in our house. Although we use it ALL the time, it is so neglected. I decided to add a shower curtain to semi-hide the soap-scum stained doors and brighten the room a little. I also wasn’t convinced that my roman shade really was covering us up when we showered so this gives a little more privacy.
BEFORE – yes, our countertop pretty much always looks like this – there is a reason why you pretty much NEVER see this room:
AFTER {the “shower curtain” is really just our old white curtains from the bonus room but they work for now} – don’t mind the bags of towels in the bathtub! I think the curtains help elongate the space. I thought about adding brown ribbon tips but since this is likely a temporary solution I may hold off. And yes, I realize they need to be washed and ironed:
Someday soon I would like our master bath to look more like these {color-wise} that I found on Decorpad – I can’t find anything that is exactly what I want:

I also read through some great camera tutorials on a blog I love that have me hoping for a new lens someday. I realized that I must have messed up something on my aperture setting when I took this class over two years ago, not realizing it locks it in when you set it {and doesn’t reset when you shut your camera off}. This alone will help my photography skills!
