Bedroom Makeover

For Christmas I did a bedroom makeover.  I have a few last things to work on, but here's the new look.  One thing that you can't see is the new knobs I got from Hobby Lobby for the nightstands.  (We have one on each side with matching lamps.)  The lamps are from WalMart, the rug runner is from Target - as are new sheets and a blanket.  The quilt and shams are from Overstock.com.  The big square pillow is from IKEA.  I'm trying to decide if I should embroider it or stencil on it...  At the foot of the bed is my wool throw from Petworth, UK and some embroidered fabric that Tony brought back from India (I sewed it around the edges to make a runner).  I used these two items as the inspiration for the room.  I have yet to do curtains, but I'm happy with things so far.  It's quite cozy!  (Let me know if you want any more details...)

WalMart Flowers

I bought more $5 WalMart flowers in advance of my parents' visit. My mom's favorite color is yellow, so I thought these large mums would be cheery. They're in a Frankoma vase that I found in a historic town in Missouri.

Flowers

I have decided that I can squeeze $5 out of the grocery budget each week for some fresh flowers. These roses are from WalMart - can you believe it? I bought the vase at a yard sale for either 25 or 50 cents, so the whole arrangement was rather inexpensive. (I went to get some more yesterday, and they didn't really have anything - I'll have to try again next week!)
