Welcome to my home new decor!

Okay, so I have recently become obsessed with sewing.  When I say obsessed, I mean everything I see, I think "can I make that?" and may or may not attempt to do so.  It is AMAZING what you can do when you put your mind to it!  I have wanted to add color to our living room forever by curatins or something and I have always disliked my toss pillows, so I decided to make valances (the fabric I liked and that matches is a very busy fabris and thought it would be overwhelming as full curtains) and matching pillow covers.  It is difficult because I have burgundy/red furniture and sorta light moss colored walls so not much matches well.  My husband is not a huge fan of the fabric I picked out because it is flowers, and it is colorful.  BUT, I LOVE it!  And, even though it was a lot of sweat equity involved, the total price of making the valances and pillow covers was somewhere around $25-ish.  SO, they can be changed and I will have not lost much in terms of money.  Anyway, just thought I would share the finished products.  Please note that the wooden shelves hanging above the TV aren't there to stay-we got a new TV and moved furniture around and haven't moved those yet.  I think what I will be hanging above the TV is a collage of family pics.  Anyone want to put an over/under on how long that will take?

  1. Love the fabric, Jade! Yeah, Craig would never let me put flowers anywhere, I'm sure. But it is so cute! Good for you!
