I love that duvet cover! It’s perfect with all of the colors. That trick with using a duvet cover to redo the headboard is genius. Far less complicated than sewing one. I didn’t know there were duvet snaps. Man, the places they could be used. I hope the rental reno is going smoothly. Have a great rest of your weekend & thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to share with us.
Knowing that any of these ideas have emboldened you to tackle some of these projects in your own home gives me pure joy and motivation to do so much more. As far as the cottage reno is concerned, the shady contractor I hired first demanded a 50 percent deposit, which I reminded him is illegal in our state of California. You can only ask for 10. He pulled out his crew 30 min later! Luckily my dear sister knew of another great contractor who came to the rescue. I convinced him to appear on camera in an upcoming episode to share some of his great tricks of the trade for small spaces. Can’t wait to see how he fixes the door that hits the toilet! See you next week! Hope your shoulder is feeling a bit better and that the acute pain has subsided. We need you back in the saddle while the weather warms up.
That really is my mission behind the channel: to share projects and tips that people can make their own, in their own style and colors; to glean the design approach and take it to the next level. Once I get the entire cottage in shape, I’ll give everyone a tour. See you next week. Do you like that episodes are coming out on Fri? Trying to find the best time for everyone.
What an awesome duvet cover! For the duvet, how many yards of fabric did you use? The entire room makeover is cozy, cool, and artsy. The stenciled walls and mixed patterns and fabrics textures are your signature, which I find the most appealing. Good job, friend!! Have a great weekend. Enjoy your day off on Sunday!
I love having a signature style! Took years gaining the confidence to do what I like not what I thought was correct or trendy. For the duvet cover, I bought the widest fabric at 54”, and I bought 6 yards for the front and 6 inches for the back. Since the bed is wider than 54”, I had to sew pieces of fabric together to make one side. I found this tutorial to be so helpful: www.onlinefabricstore.com/makersmill/how-to-make-a-duvet-comforter-cover/ The easiest and more economical way to make a duvet cover is to repurpose designer sheets. You won’t have any extra seams to sew. That’s what I have done in the past. I just couldn’t find a pattern/color I needed for this project. Thank you for all of your encouragement and for taking the time week after week to visit me at Nutshell Living. Have a wonderful weekend.
