Fun in the Details

 Doncha love it when things just come together?  I had ordered this hot pink duvet cover from PB Teen clearance for my daughter's room.  Last week as I perused the IKEA aisles, I found these matching curtains. Hello 98" long!!!  $12.95 a PAIR.  Seriously, I couldn't buy fabric that cheap!  I was wondering how I would hang panels in her room on a tight budget, since she has two windows.  The other IKEA shoppers may have cast a strange glance as I squealed in delight.  So for $26 I got FOUR  98" panels.

While we're on the subject of fabric, I bought a yard of each of these .  I'm not sure where/how I am going to use them, but I couldn't resist.  Aren't they fun?!

We've stared at our plans for 13 months.  Tweaked here and there.
Dreaming, planning, tweaking.
Progress is being made and it is a wonderful sight!
I'll show progress pics next time.  My husband is doing an amazing job on our dream.  He has the tough job of scheduling all of the trades while I have the fun job of picking out the fun stuff.

Yes, the details are the fun part! :)

I haven't been to IKEA in awhile. I was thinking the other day that it would be fun to make a trip back over there. I've only ever gone when I've had a specific mission!
