It’s become kind of a community-use barn around here.
This is the bed in question.You can kind of see the sad and saggy cream colored bed skirt in this picture, although I tried to keep it out.. Now, one route is of course to make your own and figure it out that way, but I found a store-bought skirt that I loved and I was determined to make it work!
It ended up being fairly easy once I figured out my plan of attack.Here’s how you do it if you ever find yourself in a similar predicament:.Here are the slats that make the base of the bed and that the mattress sits on top of.
There are two sets just like this that run side-by-side.They’re attached together with a heavy ribbon and they stretch nicely into place on the bed.
That stretchy ribbon design will get you nowhere with your bed skirt.
It will get you somewhere, but it’s a place where you get so frustrated that you end up yelling at family members just for breathing too loudly in the next room while you’re trying to figure this out.But let’s just pretend that I took those pictures 5 minutes ago and that I do have pumpkins in there in August because I’m just a super-prepared blogger like that, K?.
Anyway.. We also have a living room in this house!It started out looking like this when we moved in:.
And here’s how it looks now!.You can read all about the full living room before and after.
