Master Bedroom {Wish}




This is my WISH. This bedspread is $275.00 and it only includes the two pillow shams and the bedspread. The cute yellow/white pillows are $50 or more just for one pillow!! Okay so these are the colors. I might make a home made make-over master bedroom.

Ideas....


This quilt from Overstock. $50.00



*Click on photo to get the plans.
Make some pillowcases and decorative pillows from Make it and love it plans.

and use these fabric colors from Fabric .com (Just the Gray, white, and yellow/green colors)

Hopefully I can get the same effect for less than 1/2 the price!

Whats for Dinner?
