I found some super cute white curtains with aqua pom pom trim and I just could not pass them up Each panel was like 40"x84" so I thought I could cut them each in half and create the bed area curtains. The fringe is too cute!!! Although they are a little short ( may add a ruffle later) I think they came out cute and with minimal sewing required. I think once the mattress topper and the new quilt will make it all fit fine. I am planning on cutting the striped shower curtain up to make the tie backs.

The cabinets
We decided on a nice gray to paint the cabinets. Dan took all the cabinets doors off and lined them up in our basement room. He first covered them in a Cover Stain Primer and then did 2 coats of gray paint on all doors and bases. It was quite a project. But it made a huge difference!! I love them

Cushions
Ok really...home decor fabric is super expensive. Even with coupons. And I have to buy so much to cover the super long couch in there. It is 70" wide.....and most home decor fabric is only 54" wide. SO I need to purchase over 5 yards of something to make it work. And at 30.00 a yard even with a 40% or 50 % coupon it still way to much for a camper couch. So I need to figured something else out. Plus I can't even decide how I want it to look. Then I heard of a major fabric store in my area was closing Hancock fabrics.....so I went to see what I could find. I ended up after a few trips a kinda dark gray fabric and a floral cream based fabric. Since I really did not know how much to buy and I was dealing with remnants on a remnants table....I was going to try and piece it all together in the end. I also found on Walmart.com that they sold a striped shower that went with my bedding set. SO I ordered that too. Here are some pictures of some things I was trying to work
I found this Waverly upholstery fabric that I just loved at Jo Ann Fabrics.....but really I would have spent sooooo much just to cover the couch.
