Time for a Giveaway!

.... a 50 followers giveaway. 

It's been awhile since my last giveaway and I've been thinking it's time for another one. Reaching 50 followers seems a good a time to do one.

So, what am I giving away? You guessed it - one of these sweet ruffled pillows. If you missed the Groopdealz deal, you still have a chance to get one because I specifically ordered an extra to give away to one of you! I love the one I have in my master bedroom.

Here's how you enter:

More Progress in the Master Bedroom

Finally! I waited all week for my 'new' quilt. It finally came on Saturday! I put quotes on "new" because it is new for me but not new, new. I have looked and looked for a quality white quilt that I liked. Oh, yes, I found some but the prices are outrageous! I found this one on eBay - it is Pinecone Hill Victoria and sells for..... $430! Gasp! The lady I bought this from had it listed for $150. That was still too high for me. I mean, it's used after all. So, I emailed her and asked her if she would consider a 'Best Offer' option on her listing. She emailed back and said she would add it to the listing and $80 was her lowest price. Since her listing specifically said that it was in LIKE NEW condition, I agreed. That is still a lot for a used quilt in my opinion, but I really liked it and it was cheaper than any of the other options. (Ones I didn't like so well but were new.) So, here it is.

The shams came from TJMaxx and the ruffle pillow was a Groopdealz deal of the day a couple weeks ago. I have never had shams and pretty pillows on my bed and after I made it up like this, my almost 6 year old son told me it looked like a bed in a store. I think he meant it as a compliment. I would like to add another pillow (or 2) but for now this is what it looks like.

And to show how far I've come so far, here is a before and after:

After

I still have a lot of projects to complete before I can show you the 'reveal'. (Like the chair peaking around the corner of this picture.) For now, I'm very happy with my new look. My husband complimented me saying it looks like a designer bedroom. Weeeellll, now, that's going too far. :) But I'm glad he likes it as well as I do. I admit he was very dubious about a gray bedroom.

Here's another 'after' at a slightly different angle:

Um, yeah, no bathroom door.... yet.

So, there's my progress report for this week.

EDIT: Full Reveal here.



I'll be linking to these parties - come join me!
