anyway, on my internet journey through wal-mart, target and ikea websites i also was pleasantly surprised to find out that target is still carrying the line of "simply shabby chic" bed linens i started getting for elisabeth 2 years ago. i showed them to her, and she was so happy that i found them! i told her that if she wanted, we could finish decorating her room as her birthday present, but that's all she'd get for her birthday. she excitedly agreed that this is a great idea!
below is the shams/duvet that match her curtains, and below that is the quilt. i already have 3 curtain panels, and i'm going to use one of them as fabric for extra projects. on top of that, we found some great fabric lined baskets at big lots today. for around $40 i can get a hamper and 4 matching baskets for her shelves. that isn't even the best of it...i found a beautiful ballet picture (huge too, i might add...) at marshall's last week and put it on layaway to keep it out of the house as long as possible. if we break down and get her the bed from ikea too (picture also below), her room will be absolutely amazing! i just bought some "pooch" yarn today (reminds me of a poodle) in a mix of cream, tan and mauve...perfect for her room, and i'm going to knit a throw for her too. i don't know who's more excited, elisabeth or me!!!
