Primary Bedroom Update – Upcycled Bedskirt

Sewing

I am sharing how I took a bedskirt and upcycled it into a tablecloth.

I’ve made some primary bedroom updates recently. We purchased a new bed from Pottery Barn so I changed my bedskirt to a tablecloth!
And before I continue, let me just say that I LOVED this bedskirt. Mostly because I put a lot of hard work into making it. We’ve moved homes so many times that our bed was falling apart. We both loved the look of an upholstered bed so we just went for it.
The bedskirt didn’t fit properly over the new upholstered bed frame so I decided to upcycle it into a ruffled tablecloth for my daughter’s 1st birthday party.

This is what my bed looked like before with my DIY ruffled bedskirt. I loved the way the ruffles fell to the floor.
The primary bedroom with neutral bedding and dark wood furniture.
And here is the finished product, a ruffled tablecloth! I upcycled my bedskirt to a tablecloth!
A ruffled tablecloth on a long table.
I bought a linen tablecloth from Home Sense last year and even though I washed it on cold and hung it to dry it still shrunk. So I just stitched all the pretty ruffles I made along the edge of the tablecloth.

And now this is what my new beautiful bed looks like.
It’s the Raleigh Upholstered Camelback Bed & Headboard by Pottery Barn.
A fabric headboard with pillows on the bed.
We love this bed. It’s lower than our previous bed which, to me, makes it seem more cozy.
The neutral fabric Pottery Barn bed.
I love the clean lines…
Rivets along the edge of the headboard.
The nailheads are massive and give such a beautiful detail.
A headboard that is a neutral fabric with rivets.
We also got the matching neutral bench for the foot of our bed.
A small bench at the foot of the bed in the same neutral fabric with rivets.
A small bit of pottery in the primary bedroom.
And finally my favorite relaxing reading nook.
A white armchair with a light blue pillow on it.
I love the changes! What do you think? Am I crazy to change my bedskirt into a tablecloth?

That’s feels good for a start of the week. 💚 Design dilemma: did you know that changing the doors and trim work jn your house can bring it up to date?

Recently I wrote a blog post all about Chantilly L Recently I wrote a blog post all about Chantilly Lace by @benjaminmoore. First, I love Simply White. I’ve painted it everywhere in my house, walls, cabinets, doors, trim. The color is perfect in my house. In some houses it shows a yellow undertone. If it does, White Dove is usually a great choice. But this is what I learned about 6 months ago in a color course I took, Chantilly Lace has nearly zero undertone! 💚➡️ Be sure to check out my blog post on Chantilly Lace and all the real house examples. I also have posts on the best way to pick white & grey paint colors in your home. I’ll leave direct links in stories & in a highlight in my profile. 💚
