Some color.

This is the before.....I added some color. I got these drape scarves at Bed Bath and Beyond. (yep in the clearance section, they were the last 2!)

They were a little too long so I had to do a little cutting and sewing. But with the extra material I recovered  2 pillows that weren't really being used any where, now they match. The drapes are almost the same color as my room. There was some extra material left from that project as well so I recovered 2 more pillow. I found 4 more at the DI that totally matched and this is the end result. I am still working on finding a mirror to put over the piano and maybe a shelf or 2.

The lighting makes these pillows look pink, but they aren't. They are the same color as the other ones (it is called "wine").
This is kind of the oddball pillow. I got this one from the DI and when I was washing and drying it it got hooked some place in the dryer and kind of ripped. So I cut out the rip and sewed it back together. It is a little smaller then the matching one, but it still works.
