Come Together!

I'm about as happy as I could be right now. Mama and I went out looking for material to make my duvet cover and some roman shades for the bedroom. I've decided I wanted a jewel red cover with a tan bedskirt and then my tan silk curtains. Red roman shades would be the perfect accent. With the black rod iron bed - throw in some candles and WOOHOO!!! It's gonna be beautiful.

So we shopped. And we shopped. We shopped so much even I was getting ticked off. I couldn't find the right material. I thought I knew what I wanted but nothin' was "slappin' me". Finally we settled. It wasn't the shade of red I wanted, and the feel was not as "soft" - but it would work. Just fine.

Then we made the mistake of stopping one more place. For the same price as just the material - I got the cover I wanted, the exact shade of red PLUS 2 king size pillows PLUS 2 curtain rods.

It's gonna be beautiful. Just flat out beautiful. I decided to go with black roman shades as something a little different. Plus it'll block the sun even better. (No to mention Mama had a real issue with me having red in my bedroom windows. Thought that was too much like advertising. Heheheh)

Now all I need is the art work and I'm just about set.

But I am very excited. I can't wait to get home and put it all together. (warning - y'all remember what happened LAST time I hung curtain rods!!)
