ˈkro͞oəl/

1. The real name for the above named beautiful fabric!! :(

Seriously! I've been in love with crewel fabric forever. I think because it has so much texture with the raised embroidery? It's delicious I tell ya, but holy EXPENSIVE batman!!

Crewel is...CRUEL :(  Every stinkin time I would find a duvet that I loved,
it was always waaay more than I wanted to spend. 

Join me in a round of applause for eBay!! or should I say the place where my
daughter Rio finds everything:)

I typed in crewel bedding and...

imagine my excitement when I found this discontinued duvet from Pottery Barn. 

It was less than half of the price of some of the others I was looking at.

Score!!

I was nervous with the blue in it at first, but after adding

all my green (surprise!) pillows, I love it:)

The bedspread is Pine Cone Hill, and it just might be my favorite

thing in this room:)  I love not dealing with a bedskirt! I ordered mine

from my fab friends at FOUND:)

The pillows-

The back striped Euros were made by my son (proud mama!) from

a piece of fabric I found at SAS.

The cruel  crewel pillow came with the duvet:)

The grain sack pillow I bought in Roundtop Texas years ago, and

my mom crocheted that beautiful edge and sewed it on for me:)

The velvet green pillow is from FOUND, and after all these years

it's still one of my favorites!

I found the headboard at Home Goods. It was leaning up against a wall

hiding behind the hanging rugs.... just waiting for me to look at those

rugs (that I didn't need and had no intentions of buying) and find it!!

It was $299

Score!!

I found these fab lamps on that same trip! 

Cue choir of angels.... :)

The blackout curtains are from Pottery Barn.

And ok I lied. These curtains are absolutely my favorite thing!!

Cue choir of snoring angels.... :)

And that gorgeous antique little dresser that I'm using for a nightstand?

It came out of one of our Project Beautify houses.

I know!! It's a beaut! I'm hoping to be able to share pics

with you all next week of that adorable place:)

We're hoping to have our Project Beautify website up and running soon,
