our painted room

We painted our room this weekend. I say 'we,' but I mean DAVE. (thanks babe... love you). My mom thought it would look like a dungeon-- but see mom??? it's cute!

so um..... I MADE this duvet. Yeah.... I'm crazy, I know. Maybe you don't think it's a crazy thing to do-- but I'm still convinced I'm slightly crazy for doing it. I HATE making big things... so I decided to make a KING SIZE duvet??? ha. I survived. Not only did I survive, but I made a king size duvet for TWENTY dollars. It's chenille so super soft. And I'll admit, it wasn't even that hard to do. And we couldn't leave our RED duvet on--it looked horrible with the grey/blue walls. I'm still going to make a bed skirt and some pillows--so I'll take a better picture of our bed after it's all done

I love it! I had imagined super dark, but it isn't. Great job on the duvet. I wouldn't have even thought of attempting it. It's pretty.

Very cute. Where'd you find how to make one? I really like the color for the walls. One day I'd love to decorate our bedroom too...

Great job on both counts, Am. Truth be told, I never really liked the red duvet cover you had, so I'm glad you've upgraded.
