SO guess what I'm going to do? Buy some cheapy walmart white flat sheets (which are like $15), sew them into panels and PAINT chevrons on them! Sounds insane, right? Don't worry, another crazy lady tried it first at daveandjoi.blogspot.com, and they turned out FAB. I don't know if she used sheets, but I can't thing of a cheaper way to get that much fabric.
Loophole #2>This chair. I love it. and guess what? I found a chair VERY similar for maybe $20. I just need to reupholster it. I know it sounds like a lot of work, but I feel like the shape is pretty much a bunch of squares and rectangles sewn together. I think I can handle that.
<Here's my $20 craigslist fixer upper. Similar shape, right? I'll find out later today if it is destined to be mine.
And lastly, these CUTE pottery barn kids hanging airplanes are to die for. Juuust the look I want for my mobile. Well they are sold seperately. The small one is $39, the medium plane is $59, and the large one is $89. Hahahahahahahahahaha. Not paying that.
Here's the loophole. My sister found these little wooden model planes for $4 a piece. A little paint and VOILA! Pottery barn-ish plane moble!
I feel like an evil genius right now.
You are so crafty!!! I wish I had that ability!!
ReplyDeleteThe sheet idea = great. My mom taught me long ago that cheap sheets equal a lot of yardage for less. Don't know how much the sheets might cost, but you could also look at getting plain white curtains at Ikea or CostPlus, etc, and painting them.
ReplyDeleteIkea curtains are crazy inexpensive! I didn't even think about that. The panels in my living room were like $14.99 for a pair. I just ended up buying sheets from target though. They were $11-something per full flat sheet. They were surprisingly soft too. I'd totally sleep on them & I am the pickiest person you will ever meet when it comes to sheets.
