Hello Friends, and welcome to week two of the One Room Challenge.
The painting process is well underway. It’s quite a fussy thing to deal with when you can’t empty the room of the furniture. I’m having to move pieces from one area of the room at a time to paint the walls and the ceiling in sections.
In the mean time, I’ve gone looking through some of my vintage crochet books. I wanted to find some doily and trim patterns that I could work up and put on throw pillows for my bed.
I love to upcycle and repurpose things, so I shop at thrift stores regularly. I often find partial, and sometimes even new, balls of crochet thread there. I dug through my stash of these treasures and found some white and pink that I’m using for this crochet project.
I plan to make two pillows with crocheted elements; one with this trim, and one with a pink doily on it. I dream of having more than those on my bed, but these two will have to do for now. I can always add more later, right?
I have also started on the lace curtains for my window. I won’t know the exact measurements that I’m going to use until the new hardware is installed, but there are things that I can do to prepare the lace ahead of time.
As I move the furniture around for the painting, I’m taking up this carpet. I’m sure it was a fabulous décor decision in its day, but it’s time for it to go.
That’s my update on progress with my bedroom refresh. I keep telling myself that this is one of those projects that seems like it’s a jumbled mess until it all comes together in the end. Right? Which is a good reason to have a Pinterest board for inspiration. I browse through mine daily in order to keep my vision fresh and focused. And let’s be honest, there’s usually a little squeeling over all the pretties, too.
If you haven’t already, check it our for yourself.
