Finishing Touches on the Mudroom

We are putting the finishing touches on the mudroom.  Curtains and pillows are the task at hand.  I made a trip out to the fabric store last week looking for material to make curtains and pillow covers and was blown away at how expensive material can be.  Several of the home decor fabrics were $44.99 a yard!!  I was carrying around a 40% off coupon but still yet, when I wanted 8 yards of the material...that was still completely out of the question.  So, I began browsing the rest of the store for something less expensive but something that would still look great...and I found something I love! 
 This material was in the quilting section and was only $5.99 per yard minus 40% making it just over $3.50 per yard...what a deal!!
I wasn't sure I wanted to be this bold with the curtains but now that they are done, I couldn't be more thrilled.


I also took some old couch pillows and covered them to make pillows for the bench in the mudroom.


I'm lovin' this new found sewing hobby.
I'm getting really excited for the big reveal.  We are almost finished, so don't forget to check back to see the completed room.
Blessings,

My Mama used to say, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
I'll add, "If you HAVE something nice to say, share generously."
