People say Memorial Day is the beginning of summer, but in my book the season doesn’t start until the feather duvet gets yanked off the bed and swap it for a beloved, lumpy, bumpy, oil-spill-quality-absorbant-cotton, chenille blanket. Always white. Always retro. Chenille blankets are wildly impractical 9 months a year, but when they are good they are great. Only problem is I don’t do plain white anything, which usually means that June is when I get a hankering to go pillowcase shopping, which means I have an absurd amount of pattern and color dense pillowcases. This year was different. This year I made my own!
I’m not even going to tell you how easy it was to make-over a couple of thrift store pillow cases.
Okay. That’s a lie. I am going to tell you. It involves stuff I cut out of the alley behind my neighbor’s house and a secret ingredient that will change the way you think about fabric paint. Want to know the down low? Get it!
I haven’t seen the website since you got the new banner! I love it so much!
“Only probably is” – I guess you mean problem 🙂
I need to find out where to buy all these supplies, I don’t think everything is as available in my corner of the world.
Here it’s basically summer for at least 6 months a year, I’d probably be way too hot with any proper blanket… I use a cotton Piqué “blanket” instead.
Wow! Gorgeous pillows.
Ooo- chenille bedspreads! If I didn’t have so many animals sleeping with me, I’d have one too (sigh)
Those pillowcases are really pretty.
Chenille bedspread + floral sheets + plisse pajamas + oscillating fan on at night = one of the best things about summer. That’s some good sleepin’!
Nice. You can also used this technique to cover up stains, etc.
Ha! I wonder if it works on kids clothes!
Should work great! And they might enjoy the process more than anyone. 🙂
Ooh, looove! Fabric spray paint, that is just awesome.
I love these pillow cases, can go very well with a celestial theme bedroom as well!
Is that a velvet painting of inigo Montoya??? Did you create that?!?! So awesome I may prepare to die!
