FLUTTERBUG DESIGN

This is my third and hopefully last attempt at creating a bedroom the I am happy to look at every night and ever morning.  So far I am thrilled with the results.  The paint color is spot on and I would totally paint my entire house with it. It is still a work in progress, but I will give a sneak peak.

BEFORE:

I've wanted a simple upholstered headboard for sometime.  Nothing too feminine or fussy.  We found this one at IKEA and it was on sale for $79.  I hate the fabric but for that price I couldn't pass it up.  So we shoved it into the back of our Subaru between our poor childrens' heads and headed home.

With a few yards of fabric purchased at a local outlet and a good morning with my contentious sewing maching I made a new cover with a piping detail. I bought all the fabric for the pillow online and used an old felted sweater for the green one.

AFTER:

I came across an idea online for a $29 Ikea Rast Dresser that I was totally in love with and used it as a jumping off point for the whole room.  Ikea is sold out of the dressers right now which totally stinks because I am itching to do another one for the other side of the bed.  I found the lamp at a local thrift store.  I was really drawn to the wood detail.  With a fresh coat of paint and new lamp shade, i think it looks really cool.
