In the hopes that I can make spring come along faster, I decided to redecorate my bedroom. The former color scheme: brown on brown. Don't ask me why. The new color scheme: black, white, and lemon yellow.
To create this, I cashed in a Christmas gift certificate to fabric.com and bought some really lovely Michael Miller damask cotton. Two and a half yards sewn together created a quick and easy coverlet that drapes over my old, kind-of-white down comforter. The matching throw pillows are made from the scraps of a former project, also made of Michael Miller fabric. All that remained to be purchased were some new sheets for a total of $30.00. Not too shabby. And the dog loves it, too.
Now, I won't lie. I did drop some cash on the fabric that will become the new bedroom curtains. However, the great thing about curtains is that, should I move or decide to redecorate again, I can always reuse that fabric in other projects; it's basically a big, hemmed rectangle.
Total time spent: 2hrs.
Total cash spent: $30.00 before curtains, $70.00 after.
Design on a dime indeed!
