All Things New

I changed up my bed pillows a little. I sewed the shams on the large pillows in the back out of leftover curtain fabric. Then, I bought a bolster pillow at TJ Maxx and sewed a different, ruffly cover for it.

And, it was time for a little change-up in my dining room as well. I took down the thin wire that was my curtain rod, plus the thin white curtains, and made cream linen Roman shades for the windows.

I also hung some plates on the wall (apparently I never get sick of plates hung on walls...they're everywhere...in my kitchen, my living room, now my dining room). I got two at TJ Maxx and one the bottom one I had.

And look what came in the mail! I had this book made by Blurb for Miles' baby book. I am really impressed with how it turned out. It's nice to have the pictures part of the page instead of glued on. It feels more durable that way. I left lots of blank pages at the back to add more pictures and thoughts.

So cool, all of it, Sarah. Love the roman shades, the plates, the pillows, and the book. Bring it to UT when you come, okay. I want to look at it. Love you. You inspire me!

I'll say it once again - you're amazing Sarah! Everything looks great! The pillow is to die for! Love it! No, you can never get enough dishes on the wall! Great job!

Ditto, ditto, ditto to the comments! I love the restful colors of your bedroom. Miles book is so cute; I want to see the inside.

Beautiful as usual! I wish I could decorate the way you do, Sarah.
