A Completed Dressing Room for Lou-Lou the Princess

Well let just say that i have exceeded my allotted VOC emission for the month. No more pink spray paint please!(ahuh ahuh,excuse me while i cough ). Oh well whats a few brain sells scells  cells for the sake of childhood.

The pinkness of Lou-Lou has once again consumed our lives but I must say i rather like the finished product i almost wanna just sit in there and pretend i am four again.

This was a group project Daddy made the addition to the dresser, Mama painted(ahuh ahuh) and the girls had a blast gluing on those great vintage buttons(2$). The dresser and mirror cost me a whole 5$-garage sale, the wall paper is scraps i had left over from another project, and with a little paint they are all now princess approved.

Sweet Lou-Lou truly loves her new ultra pink dressing room, in fact she loves it so much she wont let anyone sit at the vanity and she has not moved a thing on it sense we set it up "Its par-fekt "

Thankfully i am done with the pinkness for now, Birdie is getting a bit jealous- shes thinking yellow and blue.  I am thinking brush and can, not so sure my lungs or the environment can take any more spray paint.

Lou-Lou's Dressing Room

     Lou Lou has been asking for a dressing room for quite sometime now so i thought i would oblige her. The door to the closet and the door to her room opened back to back, this caused a problem. The handles would get stuck together and i would have to play acrobat to get into the room.  So "bling" light bulb, I took the closet door off and gave her the dressing room she, "need it".  Well its not complete but here are the curtain i came up with.  I am pretty happy with these, they matched up perfectly. There is only one little crocked seam and i love it because Lou-Lou sewed it herself.

They coordinate with the window curtains and the upholstered bed which we did also at her request, its our version of a princess bed on a paupers budget around 40$  All the fabrics are Hobby Lobby, at 30 % off so Lou-Lou is free to play with what ever she likes. I call these no fear fabrics, fun, inexpensive and washable.
My husband has promised a vanity inside the closet  and a little painting must now come to pass, then and only then will i revel the inside of the closet.

Ribbon, Ribbon Everywhere

De-stashing is not sew much fun! Lots and Lots of ribbon to down size. I am making headway but I am already over it and ready to get back to sewing with my new pattern by Oliver + C. I have actually used a pattern and enjoyed it so far.  i will let you know how things are going a little later. But for now if your in the market for a few (lot ) of ribbon check out my shop or e-mail me i have plenty to get rid of.
