Well, my eyes automatically zoned in on the diamond print pillow, and I realized that I needed these in my home ASAP! The great thing about this site is that it gives you a list featuring where to find just about everything in this room but on a budget!
So, since I have been in a major pillow-making zone lately, I immediately went to BuyFabrics.com and ordered a yard of this fabric! It is by Duralee fabrics and the name is Pool Diamond. Here are my finished pillows:
The color is much more "pool" blue than in my pic. They are currently living on the bed in my office. I almost love them too much to keep them in a side room though, so they may end up in my still-to-be-finished great room!
This should encourage you to not be discouraged by expensive "designer" rooms that you see in magazines! Any look can be accomplished with a little imagination and creativity!
I looked at that fabric website. I'm currently drooling over a few different patterns!! I might make pillows like yours to match my identical bedding :) Think that fabric would be too much for curtains? I want to brighten up my room.

I think it would be really cute as curtains! Just make sure it wouldn't get too expensive :) Another good fabric site is fabric.com.
ReplyDeleteI love that blog...it is funny because I already had a shirt picked out to try to convert into a pillow. Crazy! And did you notice her other pillow on her bed. The same fabric that I just used for my couch!
