Rachel Ashwell Pillow

Several years ago when we first realized we would be moving and downsizing I started planning what I hoped for our new rooms to look like. I found this Rachel Ashwell fabric and wanted to base the whole look of my bedroom (which I do share with my husband) to look like. Well, I decorated the room and am so happy with it but still hadn't used the fabric! So last night I made a pillow.

In the tradition of Rachel Ashwell,  I didn't want to embellish it too much.  I just wanted it to be comfy and inviting and let the pretty fabric shine. I was able to find the Pottery Barn pillow form at our local thrift store for $1.15. It is so comfy cushy.

I think this fabric has been retired for awhile and I can't remember what the pattern is called. I just remember when I saw it I really wanted my bedroom to look like this fabric. I think I was able to do that!

I put some of the flowers Janae got me for Easter in our room. They are still looking so gorgeous! 

Below is a lampshade I posted several months ago. You can see the post here.  A lot of people have thought it is a coffee filter lampshade but actually it is made of fabric ruffles. The actual lamp is changed from the post when I made the lampshade. I love this lamp! Several months ago I saw it from a distance at Goodwill and did the fast walk over to it. You know, you don't want to look too excited or others will get to it first. It is from the Simply Shabby Chic line and still had it's tags. It was only $3.99. Love it!

The lamp has a vintage look. I love the Simply Shabby Chic line.

Now I am thinking I may make table runners for our nightstands with this fabric too. That will look pretty! 

Better get back to thrifting and creating...my favorite pastimes!
