cleaning the closet

Shoving and pushing, to find a place in the closet was not happening anymore.




I decided to take everything out that I have not worn in the past 6 months, and donate it.

How did I forget that I had these beauty's?




After a few minutes, I decided to make a pillow.

I love how it turned out.

For the white sweater, I am attempting a dress for my daughter.

This project could take a while.

Now for my garage door headboard.

I think I have showed you my entire bedroom, but my headboard.

An old garage door. I seen the door, and had to have it.



I love the bolts and the chipped paint.

Now, I am looking for the perfect piece above the headboard.



If you have any great Ideas let me know.

Pillow Talk

Right now, I am attempting a redo on our bedroom.





This seems to be a challenge, because of us trying to sell our home.


What is worth putting into the room?



Light fixtures, mounting stuff to the walls just does not seem cost effective at this time.



I'm itching to start doing something to our room.



So, I have decided to decorate with items I can take with us.

Pillows add so much to an ordinary bed.


My husband is not a huge fan. Pillows = more work.

This is one of my favorites. A monogrammed H with buttons.

Dark blue, light tan, and off white fabric rosette flowers adorn this pillow.

Every bed needs a burlap pillow. I loved the shape of this one.

An Ikea towel, is what I used for this stripped pillow.




Yes, I said a towel. I love finding unusual stuff to use for a project.





Last night around 5, My sister and I  took a 2 hour trip to Ikea.


We dodged the fog, and pouring rain, to go.



How peaceful it was, to be almost the only people there.




I could actually think.





My sister did inform me that people are holding dinner parties at Ikea.



HOW fun, I wish I leaved closer.

Now I just need a few fluffy white pillows and I am good to go.



I cant wait to show you my garage door headboard.




There are just a couple more details to work out. Until my reveal.
