It's Done!

As promised, I said I would post some before and after pictures of my new floors and new room. I couldn't just put all that victorian crap back in. I had to refurnish the room.

BEFORE:



Look at that ugly pink carpet (not my doing) and this sofa had to be redone too. I'll show you that later.



OK.....Here is the new room. I found a 8'x11' braided rug at JCP in the outlet store (free s/h) marked from $650 to $149 in fall colors (my favorite time of year).



Notice that I recovered the couch. So that if fit very snuggly, we purchased a loveseat cover and MADE it fit. I needed new curtains then, so off I went in search of them. Couldn't find anything that looked country/primitive. So I found some kitchen curtains and had to embelish them. I appliqued stars across them. then from the tiers, I cut the big hemline off and made tiebacks for the panels that I made from-- can you believe it--a flat sheet. Here is the look for that side of the room.



Long post, I know, so I will stop for now. I'm very pleased with my new "Star" room.
