I’m hoping to be able to share the end result in the next few weeks, but here’s a peek

(excuse the odd lighting and color balance in this photo) That’s the closet door you see, which is doorless, so I’m having a curtain made from the vintage sheet you see hanging there. Amazing sheets, right? They used to belong to someone in my family – I believe my grandparents. If it was a set I would totally try to use them, but all that’s left are two top sheets, so closet curtain it is.

I recently had it reupolstered, and am so, so happy with how it turned out. I’ll post full before and after pictures soon, but here’s a peek:

I used Thomas Paul’s Aviary fabric in Tangerine for the bulk of it, which I found at Calico Corners for $18.74/yd – a crazy, crazy, steal (it usually retails for over $50/yd) and then piped it in brown linen that I bought as a remnant from my upholsterer. It makes me happy every time I walk into my bedroom.

I also love this tray in my bathroom – I strongly believe that trays are one of the best decorative and organizational objects out there – I use them *everywhere.* More photos in the future. In the meantime – welcome! Yay for new websites!
