Small mistakes really are a small thing.

More trim is always a good idea.. You can see the trim isn’t quite all finished in here, but it’s definitely a big difference from this time last year.. Here’s the other side of the room with the wall art that I showed you last week.. …and looking the other direction.. Next up we have the trim to finish, paint to touch up and then we’ll start bringing in the furniture, curtains, rugs, etc.And maybe another bunting or two for good luck.

Those things are just too cute!.Thanks again to.Online Fabric Store.

for providing me with the fabrics for this room!We had a little Halloween party this past weekend at our house for Kennedy and a few of her friends.I tried to make it fun for the kids while not completely exhausting and overwhelming myself like I always seem to do whenever I’m planning anything, no matter how small.

Apparently I was successful because I was told (by the kids) that I need to definitely tone down the spookiness next year.

Much better than being told your party was lame!.They give you suggestions for how wide you should cut your strips, depending on the weight of your fabric.

I was using a medium weight cotton drapery fabric and I cut all three strips to 9″ wide, with plenty of length just in case I messed up.I later learned that this is pretty hard to mess up though!.

The cornice kit that I was using had a 9″ drop (height) total, but they also come in chunkier sizes with 12″ and 15″ drops, so you’d cut wider strips for those sizes.. All I had to do was lay my fabric over the cornice and use the tuck tool to push it into the cracks on the front and the back to secure it in place!I started with the two outer strips and finished off in the middle.
