Decorating a Powder Room

[mspete]

I redecorated our master bedroom and bath using the same decor. I ordered two sets of "bed in a bag" from J. C. Penney's. From one set of sheets I made curtains for bedroom (one window & one glass door) and curtain for bathroom window, from dust ruffle I made valance for bathroom window and a valance over tub. From the pillow cases I made throw pillows. I bought two twin sheets in solid color to complete the pillows. I used the scraps to make "rosettes" for the tie-backs. I also covered the top of a piano bench (which I bought at a thrift store for $10.00) to use at the foot of the bed. I covered a small stool - padded top, ruffle to cover the legs. It all turned out very pretty - spent less than $200.00. I indulged in coordinating rugs and towels. My bathroom is done in swans and believe it or not, I found a clear shower curtain with small white swans. I bought some pictures with swans at the thrift store, spray painted the mats to match my color scheme and they look really nice - all the mats match.

With sheets and/or "bed in a bag" you can really stretch a dollar when decorating.
