Well, "beautiful" might be a stretch!
With all the rain we've been having the past two weekends (hampering our progress with back yard
fence staining), I've been trying to work on some inside jobs.
I saw (on Pinterest, of course) the idea of upholstering your box spring, instead of using a bed skirt. The tutorial is on
Urban Nest- she also added feet to the box spring when she was finished.
I thought this would be a great project because our bed skirt isn't very fashionable, and usually ends up looking like this on one side-->
<-- And like this on the other.
I found some purple material on clearance, and there was just enough to do the two sides of the bed, which is fine since we have a foot board.
I got out the staple gun & got to work.
It went very quickly once I got going!
Here it is, about 20 minutes later, with the mattress put on top.
The end result is barely noticeable -->
I think it's one of those things that if it looks good, no one even notices. If it looks bad (like the bed skirt above!) it stands out like a sore thumb!
