What was I thinking?..

Have you ever made a decorating decision and regretted it so much? About two years ago, I got it in my head that I had to have this bedding. It is Ralph Lauren "Cold Springs". I was able to buy all of the pieces separately on Ebay and save myself a ton of money. Even then, I still spent a load (I am embarrassed to even admit how much). I made the curtains myself out of an extra king size duvet that I bought. I made 4 panels out of one duvet. They are about 54" by 86". I was able to save quite a bit. Buying that kind of yardage of heavyweight decorator fabric would have been so much more expensive. I even lined them with blackout liner for those Saturday sleep in days that come along once in a blue moon . Well, to make a long story short. By the time I finally got the drapes done, I decided I really didn't like the room at all. It wasn't my taste. It is pretty, but not soothing or very light and bright and coastal/cottagey. I have taken it all down and it is ready to be listed right back on ebay. It makes me sick to think about what a waste of money it was.

On the bright side... I have painted my room the most beautiful shade of soft blue gray. Pictures are coming soon. Oh,... and please ignore the plastic storage bins peeking out from under the bed, and the unfinished paint job on the other nightstand. I have "project A.D.D.".
