It's done!
Moving into a new house really helps you see the things that need "uplifting" in your house. Our bedspread was one of them. It at one time had lots of cute little flowers made out of ribbons, that our kids have turned into big holes and dangling pieces of frayed ribbon. Tell me about it. Anyway, I decided to make a duvet cover for a king sized down comforter that I had.
What I ended up doing was buying a set of sheets at T.J. Maxx. I thought about getting just fabric, but you would spend more and would have to piece it together to get something wide enough for your bed. But the sheets at T.J. Maxx are cheap, good quality, and one big piece of fabric. Then I added my own embellishments.
The ruffles were a bit hard, and honestly I was nervous to put something like that on... and then the red... whoa... really vibrant for me! But I needed to get out of my comfort zone.
Speaking of comfort... this is the most comfortable bed that I have ever slept in. I was surprised how much difference a big fluffy comforter can make.
"It's so fluffy I could DIE!"

What do you think? Honestly? Too much? I can always make changes, so tell me your thoughts. There is more sprucing up to do in the bedroom, but of course I have to budget these things, or else I'd go crazy... so that's up and coming.
I love it! You are so talented at so many things.
