So I've been trying to think of some low cost ways to add some "prettiness" to my bedroom lately. It's had bare walls and a boring bed since we moved into this house last September. Needless to say, it's time for some pretty stuff in the bedroom...
A few weeks ago I got 2 cheap black full size flat sheet and turned them into curtains using a curtain rod I already had. I tied them together at the center using some red ribbon since the colors in my room are red, black, and cream. Curtains add so much, even when there is nothing on your walls.
Then 2 weeks ago I found a dry erase/cork board made out to be an erasable calendar for $2.00 at Deseret Industries. The frame around it was black wood and had words such as "memories" and "love" written around it. So on the blank part of the dry erase section I taped up a couple of our family pictures and it really adds to the room. I also happened upon a throw pillow that matched my bed set perfectly (it was creepy how perfectly it matches) for only $3 at the same place so I got that as well. I love throw pillows, so much so that I may actually start collecting them one day. hehe I will inevitably be one of those women who has a dozen throw pillows on her bed that her husband gets enraged about because he has to throw them on the floor every night and doesn't see the point in having them there. Men just don't get it! :)
Last week's project was our bedside lamps. They are small, plain, and black. While I was cleaning out the drawers in my room I found some dark red beaded ribbon and thought, huh... that would look really cute around the bottom of my lamps! So I pulled out my handy little glue gun and glued the ribbon around the bottom so that the beads hang off. I think they turned out pretty cute, but my husband says: "They look like something out of the 70's." Anyway, I wanted to share a pic of my cute new lamps.
