I think I'm obsessed with "vintage" sheets. After making this towel rug, I thought our downstairs half bath needed some sprucing. I whipped up some new curtains using my rag method of making shower curtains. No need to worry too much about being neat and accurate with this method. (That's why I like it.)
And while I was cutting into that cutter quilt, I cut a piece for a cover for the little cupboard we have in there. I was going to let the edges raw-but decided to bind it with a strip of the lovely vintage sheet. I love it. And bonus-it will help to disguise dust too!
Finally, I had found one of the hand towels to the towel set I made the towel rug from and added a little embellishment of the sheet across it. AND-I found a piece of leftover towel from the towel rug (it was a BIG towel) and covered the raw edges of it with the sheeting and voilá-another hand towel.And in case you think I'm a matchy, matchy kind of gal-I must not be-because the seafoam green of my wallpaper does not match the limey green of my towels and rug.
But, I don't care-I love them anyhow!☺
Very cute! I love the rag quilt method too.
ReplyDeleteLove your posts from the last few days, but the comment box was not up - don't know why.
Oh-I don't know why that doesn't always work for you. Oh well-you are checking in, right?
ReplyDeleteA beautiful day for the ALF parade-but this is the first time I haven't gone for quite a few years! I kinda miss it-but I wanted to stay home today too.
Hope y'all are having a great fall!☺
Love it! See you later today. Yeah, I haven't been able to comment either for the past week as there has been no comment box to pop up...weird.
ReplyDeleteOh my-I wonder why? I probably have some setting screwed up or something! Hope it fixes itself-I like comments!☺
ReplyDeleteSee you later-Jodie's making a rainbow cake! I'm excited.
rainbow cake is started...almost half done.....oh mamma. you are too crafty and i need you here daily.....i am so boggled right now, with clean up, cake, pool cover, demands and dishes. uhhhhhh but its well worth it. i love my girl that much.
ReplyDeleteI know-by the end of the evening you'll probably be frazzled. But yep-it's worth it. Have I mentioned I'm excited about the cake?☺
ReplyDeleteOkay, what is a rainbow cake? Holly, love your bathroom. I am coming over some day I have off and you have off to take in all your beautiful things. Okay?
ReplyDeleteOkay, one more comment. One vintage sheet can redo an entire bathroom: towels, curtains, rug and accessories. WOW!!! Now that is a bargain and beauty to boot!
ReplyDeleteDawnie go here http://www.mycharmingkids.net/2009/09/rainbow-cake.html
ReplyDeleteThat's Mckmama's blog and that's where we saw the cake. It's just white cake with lot's of food coloring. But it just looks really good!
The sheet thing-I know and if you get it off the 29 cent rack-well, you can't beat that with a stick.
Okay-I don't think that link is working.
ReplyDeleteGo to my sidebar and click on My Charming Kids and go to 9-27-09 and you should see the rainbow cake there.
You are so lucky to get vintage sheets for that price. We pay here around $10 per sheet. Vintage is the big craze right now.
ReplyDeleteClever girl!
Yes, Dawnie, please come over sometime. I think I'm free the beginning of the week.☺
