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.
