I saw some where people had painted their bedroom walls with chalkboard paint and had drawn in the headboard and wall hangings and lamps, etc.

But it looked like a million when I was sitting in the middle of all the piles!.I laid the fabric strips down and decided how I wanted to put them next..

I ironed each strip and folded over a seam that was about 3/4 of an inch wide for each.Then I sewed those seams in place.. Next, I became reunited with my old friend the glue gun.It was a glorious day!.

I was going to use velcro strips for this step, but I didn’t have any on hand the day when the inspiration to work on this project struck, so I just went for the glue gun.I’m so glad I did!

Realistically, I know I’ll probably replace this bedskirt before I actually take it out and throw it in the laundry, so glue was the way to go!.

I took some wide strips of some scrap drop cloth that I had laying around and glued those to the bottom of the bed to act as the secret “base” to the bed skirt.. At this point, I realized that I probably could have just stuck some wide strips of a nice patterned fabric on there and that would have been good enough for a bed skirt, but it was too late!🙂 These first few years here for us while we’re still really getting settled and getting set up are definitely the hard years.

We won’t ever want to go back to them once they’re over, but I know we’ll be so glad we lived it.And if these are the “hard years”:.

Then we really can’t complain.. Other posts you’ll love:.How to start a blog so you can work from home.
