The Latest Quick Fix

Our old nursery now guest room/ reading room was in desperate need of a makeover. After Matthew moved into his new room I painted the room with some left over yellow paint, but because the room is so small, the color was a bit overwhelming. I'm not a beige fan. As you can tell from other home improvements, I like colors...bright happy colors. Well I finally caved. I found the fabric first at Joanns and I really liked it, however the only color that would go with it well was beige. So I bought a gallon of "soft suede" at Home Depot, some new blinds at KMart, made some pillows & a valance & voila! All set for my family visiting for Easter! This project wasn't as enjoyable as others because I am sick with a terrible sore throat & fever. I took a nap with Matthew yesterday & was able to finish everything last night before Bill got home from work. Feeling a little better today thanks to a combo of Tylenol & Advil Cold & Sinus. Here are some pics of the room.

It looks really beautiful, Chrissy. But you could have waited to get it done before Easter since you were sick. I think there's 3 weeks before we come down.
But it does look nice. Hope you rest up this weekend and we'll talk on Monday. Got your card but waiting to open it on Monday. Love & Miss you guys......MOM
