Here is a picture of my old drapes.
Ten years ago I really liked them!
They were a very pretty pattern and very thick material.
I always have to line my drapes becaus my Hubby works nights.
I already had taken down all the pictures, when I thought,
take some before and after pictures for my blog.
This room has very tall ceilings.
Two long walls and of course to short walls.
Which means only two walls to work with for a big bed and dresser.
There is only plan A for moving the furniture around.
Okay You all can gasp...
I had a pink wall,
HAD a pink wall!
Pepto Bismal anyone?
(Really I liked it!)
Teal carpet...
OKAY
It was in style 20 years ago!
(I really liked it too!)
Now the after:
We painted it a very pretty warm golden color.
It made the room so cozy!
It made it so calming and peaceful for us.
Notice the lush thick beige carpet!
God is so amazing,
we found this in the back of a carpet store.
It was on one of those big rolls way in the back.
I was praying Lord, help me find a treasure.
This carpet went for $28.00 a yard!
We got it for $2.78 a yard!!
The man said to me lady you got expensive taste.
He said we quit selling carpet like this because people,
do not buy this expensive stuff anymore.
So, it was just waiting for me.
My new bedspread,
pretty white with lovely flowers on it.
My new curtains!
We spray painted our old lamps black,and
We bought new lamp shades for them.
Cutting out these curtains was very hard!
My dear friend Pam came out and helped me!
I could not of done it by myself, as the pattern in this thick
material had to line up just right.
We had three windows to cover in our room.
Thank You Pam!
I Praise God for you!!
I was smoking hot on this machine!
I did so much sewing on this project my machine
needed a tune-up afterwards.
Amazing!!
All the designs in this print lined up perfect!
I am so blessed!
So, in another 20years will the beige carpet be out of style?
The salesman told me that this carpet was over 20 years old.
And God saved it just for me!
Blessings,
