Weekend review...

So I had a three day weekend because I was sick on Friday. Actually, I'm still not feeling well; but here I am anyways. I did manage to get quite a bit done around our apartment though. I completed two of my throw pillows, hung the fabric wall panels, and cleared out some more of the boxes. It was an eventful weekend.



Here is my throw pillows I completed :



This one is for the living room. I am also going to create a pillow for London, New York, and San Francisco. These match the different paintings I have in my living room and dining room.




This one is for the bedroom. I may continue the bird/foliage theme throughout the other two throw pillows that will go on the bed, or I may leave them blank. I was also contemplating doing something on the lamp shades, but I would like to establish what lamps I am going to keep in there first. This is a recreation of a Pottery Barn pillow that was $35.00 just for the pillow cover. I made this for about $5.95.

Here it is on my bed.


Also, notice the fabric wall panels above the bed. Here is a close up of them:



I am not sure how I feel about these as of yet. I was hoping for them to be more prominent in the room. I may hang something else above the bed and put these on another wall. I also need curtains and different lamps in the bedroom. It will all pull together in time though.

I did pull together a fantastic dinner last night though. It felt like it was in the super bowl food spirit, even though we don't have cable yet and don't watch foot ball. I tried out the slow cooker recipe with the chicken and the bbq sauce. I left out the worchestershire sauce, but it was great none the less. I served the chicken, shredded, on top of toasted small hamburger buns with roasted broccoli and potato salad. Delish...
