{As of last night my beautiful comforter is no more… my dog is sick and is on several medications that is causing him some issues… needless to say, he managed to urinate on my comforter. At 11pm I threw said comforter into my XL front loading washer and it proceeded to shred it in several places. I am so upset! It is only a month old… running out at lunch to see if the store has another one. Please cross your fingers (and toes) for me! Today has been a bad day so far… I really need some good to happen! UPDATE: OK, so when I wrote this it was right after discovering the comforter in the washer with filling coming out of it. I saw the one hole and ran away upset. Now that I have gone back and looked closer, there is one ragged hole along the seam (on the top left side). The hole was only on the fabric of the bedding that lays against the bed so I sewed it shut and when the bedding is on the bed you can’t even see it. Not totally ruined!}
Above is a close up of the coffee filter wreath I made to go over my newly re-finished mirror. I used 7 coffee filters to create a flower and made 7 flowers for my wreath. I bent a wire hanger into a circle, wrapped it in gray fabric and glued the flowers onto the frame. Added a strip of gray fabric around the wreath and hot glued it to the back of the mirror.

{These were actually just cheapies I picked up at The Christmas Tree shop because we didn’t have anything before. I didn’t like them before because they didn’t match the other furniture in the room, but now they look like they belong!}

Great job! I love that you went horizontally with your beadboard! We recently installed a beadboard headboard too and I LOVE it! And I was scrolling through your pics and going to comment on how much I loved your comforter and I’m SO sorry to hear what happened to it! I hope you’re able to find it (and on sale!!) and here’s to hoping your day improves!
Looks great! I love that the beadboard runs the entire width of the wall. Visiting from Homemaker on a Dime

Ohhh loving the bead board… I have a ton on it in my house since we have a 100 year old farm house.. love the look.. painting it.. not so much 🙂
Sorry about your dog, we have a 9 year old dane with no bladder control, I understand the whole washing thing! If there is a local place I can look for you here in Chattanooga let me know.. happy to go scouting for you!

This is really inspiring, this post is going in the files for the day we get to do make the bedroom look pretty.
So sorry about your comforter! Were you able to get another one? And so sorry your dog is sick. 🙁
That is a brilliant idea!
I love the back story of your headboard. This is an inspiration to me. I hope your dog is doing better. Really appreciate you sharing this great post with us at the Creative Bloggers’ Party & Hop.

Gorgeous colors. I love the comforter and am smitten with the flower wreath over the mirror!
Your room is so cute! I love the color and your bed! I hope everything works out with your bedspread. It sucks to have sick dogs!
I saw this when you posted it and LOVED it. So tranquil and beautiful! I hope you find a new comforter because it is gorgeous!!! I featured this at somedaycrafts.blogspot.com (but you already know that.)
