More adventures in decorating

So I'm decorating the new guest room--the room that used to be Julie's. Last night I went out to buy a bedspread and sheets. I looked at bed skirts, but the lousy things cost a minimum of $40, and I just couldn't bring myself to buy one when I had all that fabric at home.

So I went home and made one. It wasn't as bad as I thought it might be, except that I ran out of thread with five inches left to sew on the last seam. So I had to change to a different color. I don't think anyone will notice, though, unless they're crawling around on the floor looking under the bed or something.

This picture is at a weird angle, but the room's not very big and I had a hard time getting most of the bed in the picture.

Tomorrow the mattress will be delivered, and I can make up the bed. I'm going to finish the curtains tonight. I made the valance a couple of days ago, but I have to finish the drapery panels and put up the rods. That means getting out the drill again... I just used it this afternoon to drill the holes through the headboard legs (so I could attach it to the frame). Why don't I think before I run and put things away? Argh.

Mom and dad get to christen the new guest room Friday night. :-)
