First Layers of Our Bedroom
I worked in the bedroom until after midnight last night….For the curtains, I coffee stained muslin and nailed it to the top of the window trim–no sewing, no rods, nothing! Then I tied them up with coffee stained ticking, which matches the ties on the new bed curtains. I have plans to make another bed skirt (as a longer, under layer) in the same ticking. I found a rug we had a few houses ago (used to be in the foyer back then)..It just fits at the end of the bed perfectly, and matches the quilt to boot! I placed a 19c baby cradle and one of my favorite vintage quilts in it, which covers all my books that are hidden underneath. I still have to fill the walls, but I ran out of energy, and also I didn’t want to be nailing and screwing screws into the walls with the kids sleeping. The bed curtains are cheap panels from Target– but they work well with the coffee stained muslin of the window curtains, and I didn’t even have to sew!
