Remember that huge project that I mentioned earlier? Well this is it!
First a little background on how it all got started. My dearest Mother, as you may know, is a very talented quilter. When both my sister and I got married she decided to make us beautiful queen sized quilts to sleep under with our new hubbies as our wedding gift from her. Charlotte has been married for almost 10 years and used her quilt every day and it was finally giving into the wear and tear, so my Mom offered to make her a new quilt. As my mom was making her new quilt she read a Feature Friday post on designer Brooke's blog, All things Thrifty where she features her followers furniture/craft makeovers that they have sent her. This particular post was about two sisters that decided to give their brothers bachelor pad a surprise makeover while he was out of town. Mom decided that was just the thing Charlotte needed with her beautiful new quilt!
A plan was hatched!
Mom and I collaborated for months on design ideas, furniture selections, and color schemes. Finally this Labor Day weekend it was time to put it all in action while Charlotte and her husband were out of town.
We absolutely LOVE the way it turned out! Charlotte loves color, I think she'll be happy.

Next post I'll show you all the furniture transformations and makeover in the process.
