Master Bedroom Update – Upcycled Bedskirt
I’ve made a master bedroom updates recently. We purchased a new bed 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.
And here is the finished product, a ruffled tablecloth! I upcycled my bedskirt to a tablecloth!
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 ruffles I made along the edge of the tablecloth.
And now this is what my new bed looks like.
It’s the Raleigh Upholstered Camelback Bed & Headboard by Pottery Barn.
We love this bed. It’s lower than our previous bed which, to me, makes it seem more cozy.
I love the lines…
The nailheads are massive.
We also got the matching bench for the bottom of our bed.
Here are a few more photos of our room.
A memory box with our wedding vows.
And finally my favorite reading nook.
I love the changes! What do you think? Am I crazy to change my bedskirt into a tablecloth?

It’s beautiful! I’m sure it feels like a retreat, which we all need! And I actually like the bed skirt even better in its new life as a tablecloth!

Thanks Jessica! I’m loving the tablecloth too 😉 Feels better than doing nothing with the bedskirt!

A very lovely and peaceful bedroom. I hate it when things shrink. Your original bedskirt was gorgeous and it made a darn cute tablecoth too 😉 Have a great week!
Awww Thanks Deborah! I guess the tablecloth shrinking was a blessing in disguise 😉
