My room

So this is the project that I've been working on the last little while. Some might think that this is not important, but this is something I get from my mother: not only to want things to look nice, but to change things up often. Jason thinks I'm ridiculous because we haven't even had our bedspread for 3 years and I'm already sick of it and wanting something new. I had resigned myself to adding and changing everything else in the room because a new bed set would be so expensive, even if I made a cover myself. Why do things need to be so expensive?

Anyway, so I bought material to make a headboard and some new pillows. And then I found a bed set at walmart on clearance for a ridiculously good price and went perfectly with what I had and wanted, so I had to do it. So, here is the end result with pictures of the coordinating bathroom (the shower curtain was the inspiration that started this whole thing)
It's not easy to tell from the pictures, but the shower curtain and the bedspread are opposites of each other. The buttons on the headboard and the ribbon on the basket in the bathroom are made out of the same material as the comforter (the set came in a bag made out of the same material). Jason helped a lot with the headboard, as well as tips from both my mom and dad. I had fun doing it, and that's important!
