Organizing/Redecorating Bedroom

The other day I made this big curtain out of a flat bed sheet. It covers up the weird little room where we have all of our dressers and my vanity. It works well because that room is super cluttered and I like having all of that stuff in one place. I got a tan queen sheet and a tension rod from Target and spent about $20. I cut the sheet in half, hemmed the rough edges, and sewed across the top to make the "pocket" for the tension rod to slip through. It was really simple!

I want to redecorate my bedroom. The image below is my inspiration. There are a lot of colors in this piece. I already have a green comforter and lots of wood tones, tans and browns. I thought I could throw a couple of pink/peach, cream and (maybe) teal touches. I want to make a few cover-ups for my tv stand and other pieces of furniture and make a new blanket to go across the bottom of the bed (not sure of the technical term for it). I also might make a few decorative pillows for the bed.

Organizing/Redecorating Living Room

I've caught the bug----the cleaning bug!! I was laid off from my job and have spent the last few weeks feverishly cleaning and organizing my apartment.  Yesterday we tackled the living room. Almost all of my furniture is mismatched, so I have a hard time arranging it so it looks good. Yesterday we moved the bookshelves to be on either side of the television, so as to create a makeshift entertainment center. Not 100% sure I love the layout, but I am leaving it for now to let it sink in for a couple of days.



It's times like these when I wish I knew someone who lived closer. I would love a female's opinion on how to go about decorating. I took a lot of things off of my walls and am going to put it back up once I am happy with the arrangement of the furniture.

I am working on an Alice In Wonderland quilt and will (hopefully) be purchasing a quilt hanger for my wall. I would like to decorate around that and use those colors. It is vintage looking and uses all of the colors that I love. I will post a picture of the pieces I have later. I have not started sewing yet---just have it cut out.

I will post more later about my organizing, rearranging, and sewing adventures.
