To Die for or Tie Dye For?

Busy morning today. Up at 7:30 a.m. to go to the Zumba class at the YMCA, Quinn was leading a set today and he was pretty stoked. The class was all ages so I got to "rumba and zumba" next to Grammas and 2 year olds :) It was an awesome way to start my day. Not to mention, the Class Instructor was sooooo cute doing his choreography to "Dynamite"....



After that, Mr and I headed out in driving snow to retrieve a little something that I thought had been sold out from under me, but NO! It was mine today :) All mine. More on that to come.

Here's a hint....

I found this version online HERE and no I did not pay over $3000 for it!!!

This afternoon, I rearranged my master bedroom to make some room for the new find, but as many times as I made the bed I just couldn't stop staring at the fugly cream coloured bedskirt I have been stuck with cause I am cheap using. It just didn't sing with the new comforter set I scored at Marshalls last fall :( All that lime, olive and teal....gone to waste because of a cream bedskirt.....

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....I know!

Walmart = $4.99

Now before you start laughing, my inspiration was Anthropologie-esque in that I knew if I could pull off the same tones and colours, this would be genius....but that's the trick isn't it? I love this bedding from the Anthropologie site and was thinking of this for inspiration.

So, what to do when your project could possibly be a disaster and you don't want to shoulder all the blame? Enlist minions, then you can share the shame.

I am pretty pleased with our results, the colours are muddier than the crisp pattern on the quilt but I kinda like the contrast. If you peek to the left you can see my new find.....a little teaser :)

So, thoughts and opinions.....do I keep it or start shopping now? Truthfully, it was a fun project for Q and I and we only ended up with blue and green hands for the trouble.
