One room in my house that has never been decorated is my master bedroom. Isn't that sad? I've made bedding and decorations for about every room in the house, but never for our master bedroom. So after 10 years of marriage, I thought it's time.
I'll have to wait for the big before and after reveal of the whole room (mainly because it's not done), but for now, here are some decorations I've put together.
I had bought doilies from a garage sale a couple years ago and had these canvases on hand. I laid them out how I would want them and then Mod Podged them on.
I made my own Mod Podge, and so glad I did for this project because it took quite a bit.
Want to make your own Mod Podge?
Mix 1 part Elmer's glue 2 parts water. Put it all in a jar and shake well. That simple. It comes out a lot thinner than real Mod Podge, so I was skeptical, but it turned out working great.
I brushed on the Mod Podge and stuck down the doilies. Then I started brushing on the Mod Podge on top of the doilies, but resorted to dumping it on because I wanted them covered well and it was taking too long...a little impatient, yes.
I had to let them dry outside in the sun for awhile. After they dried I spray painted them and let that dry well. It took a lot of spraying because of all of the little spaces in the doilies.
I really love how they turned out.
And because spray paint makes all things look better, I had these stick decorations (I don't really know what to call them) but didn't like them in my kitchen anymore.
Now they are my bedroom decoration.
Can't wait to finish this room. Working on the duvet cover and pillows now.
I should mention I have material for 2 other rooms in my house as well. Hopefully in the next few months they will actually all be done.
Lots of before and after pictures to come!
