Hello Monday! Whew, we had a busy weekend with a little "staycation" that we had planned. Basketball season is over so now was our chance to take a weekend and just go to a hotel with a nice pool and relax. We went with 3 other families and the kids all had a blast! They were so worn out from swimming and enjoying the water slide. Not much got done around the house, but I'm okay with that. :)
I did get a small project done thought last night. My daugher decided that she no longer wanted her loft that we built a couple of years ago. We dis-assembled the loft and brought in the queen size bed that we've been storing "just in case". (This is a phrase that I use often, but my husband dispises...)
It's all set up in her room, but now we don't have any bedding that goes with her decor. She's 12 and LOVES her animal print - I mean really, what 12 year old girl doesn't? Even I still love me some animal print! Needless to say, I was on a quest to find some zebra print for her room. I thought a zebra comforter might be a little too much for the small room. I found a great deal on a zebra print sheet set at Walmart yesterday so I threw it in the cart. 20 minutes later a lightbulb went off in my head and I decided that I could buy a twin size set and use that to re-upholster a headboard that I was storing yet again, "just in case". Perfect! The twin size sheet set was only $7.98, how could you go wrong?! I used the fitted sheet for the headboard and I'm going to use the flat sheet for curtain panels. I even had some excess material from the headboard to make some fun throw pillows!
It turned out so cute and she loves it! I'll show you some before and after pictures soon. Now we just need to work on adding some accessories and getting some fun stuff up on the walls.
