Hi everyone.
Thanks for the lovely comments regarding my sewing tables to night tables!
I am really pleased with them. They’re the perfect size for my room and I love the height. There is also room to place baskets underneath for added storage!

Well, here is part 2 of my little mini makeover.
I’ve been planning on doing this project for months now as my old bedskirt just wasn’t cutting it. There were very few bedskirts that I liked and the ones I did like were too expensive. So…I would have to make my own, back to my old standby fabric, the dropcloth.
Yes that’s Jack’s tail in the pic. He was all over this bed. He loves to be in the middle of my photo shoots for some reason.lol
Here is the before bedskirt. A little bland eh!
I just love the casual look of dropcloth, wrinkles and all.
Here is a sideview.
Jack thinks it’s His bed.
A view from the other side, In case you couldn’t tell!
Jack says thanks for visiting and admiring His my new bedskirt.
Stay tuned for tomorrow when l reveal what I did with that 112 year old door/headboard!
Be blessed!
I’ll be partying with these ladies:
Wow us Wednesdays Party @ Savvy Southern Style
Good Life Wednesdays @ Beach cottage
I LOVE it and WANT it! I think you should give us a tutorial on how you made it…I don't want to have to figure it out!
Your bed looks heavenly! I'm working on changing my bedroom and bummed now that I don't have a big fluffy bed! 🙂
It's gorgeous! I love how full and lush it is! I don't blame kitty for wanting to hang out in such a wonderful room!
Your bedskirt is gorgeous!! I really love it. How many drop cloths did you need?

I just found your blog and I love that bedskirt! I just made curtains from dropcloths but they weren't working for me so now I know how to recycle them!! Thanks so much!
Now I want one! Problem is I can't sew. The bedskirt looks fabulous.
Hugs,
Sherry
Your bedskirt looks great. Can't wait to see what you do with the door. You know I love me some old doors!!
I'm planning to use a drop cloth for a bed skirt too… I'd also like to know how you went about making it (like Sarah at myyellowhouse).

Me too! Please include a tutorial when you get a chance. Thanks and have a blessed day!
Love the bed skirt, bed looks cozy. I think you have a lot of great ideas, have yet to see one I don't like.
I can see why Jack loves your bed so much…it looks so cozy and his beautiful fur coat looks fabulous on it. After having my fabric for five years now, I am getting ready to start my bedskirt. Any tricks of the trade?
Kim we need a tutorial asap!! (Imitation is the greatest form of flattery right!) So perfect we all have to copy it.
Is this 1 dropcloth or 2?? Tutorial please!!! You are so creative girl! I have a white bedskirt that was too small but I cut it down the middle and made if work for my king bed but I am loving yours!
Fabulous Kim!!!! You did a beautiful job!!
I love that Jack…cats ALWAYS get in the photo shoots lol !!

Love the bed skirt, and my friend Cindy is making one for my guest room she is also making the duvet cover and the euro shams all with our beloved drop cloths… I was in Lowes picking up three more and there was a painter guy standing next to me and he said "looks like you got a lot of painting to do" I looked at him and said NO I'm sewing new linens for my bed… You should have seen his face, Priceless…
Pattie
I'm so excited I found your blog…been combing the web for weeks looking for a drop cloth bed skirt…your's is AWESOME! I agree with the other ladies…tutorial, please! Your bedroom looks wonderful…I can't wait to explore the rest of your blog!
This is great, I want one.
Penny
Your bed skirt looks fantastic…yet another thing drop cloth is great for. I hope they don't up the price when they find out all the uses for it!! I am planning on covering my vanity bench with it. I think it is Project # 113!
Great job!
XO,
Jane
So beautiful Kim!! It really adds to the room, so soft and pretty with the way it drapes. Your room is gorgeous btw! I love Jack! It seems like every time I get my camera out, the animals come running!! 🙂 I can't wait to see what you did with the door!

Love the drop cloth bed skirt. I have been thinking about doing that too. Thanks for joining my party.
wow. that is just beautiful!! too bad i have a waterbed and can't do a dust ruffle:)
Looks great! I just bought some drop-cloths for projects too, now if only I could sew 😉 Blessings, Laurel@chippingwithcharm
Love that bedskirt!!!! I need one of those.
The bed skirt is gorgeous, I love the fullness of it.
Oh Kimberley it's fabulous. I love how full it is and the contrast in color with the white coverlet is wonderful. Well done. You've once again inspired. I'd love to make one of my own.
It's just perfect – love the wrinkles and all ;o)
This would be a perfect addition to my master bedroom – will you be doing a tutorial on how you created it?
Have a great week!
Ive only recently discovered ur blog, and i was an instant follower. Ive been perusing it for a few min now and love everything i see. What a great use of a drop cloth. Im currently thinking of doing a slipcover for the sofa. I dont sew, but i have a wonderful seamstress. Thanks for the inspiration and great ideas, i hope to have time to visit often, LOL…………….Bonnie
That is one attractive bed skirt!!! Love it!
So soft and full – perfect! I am totally wowed!
What a great idea! I need to make a longer second layer for my bed skirt and this is perfect. You've solved a problem for me!
Hi new follower here…loving this bedskirt i will be doing 1 in a few weeks after i get all my things together for bedroom…will you be doing a tutor on how you got this look?
I love a full, gathered bedskirt like yours. I also love that you used a dropcloth. I may just have to 'copy' this idea =)
You did a great job…. it looks FAB!
Gorgeous! You just answered my year long quest for finding a new bedskirt. I've been looking forever and they are either really bland or you have to buy the whole bedspread set to get the skirt. Perfect.
Absolutely beautiful…I love it!!
Love it! Are instructions coming soon?! (hint hint hint)
Thanks for entering my giveaway Kim!
What could be more romantic than getting married
on Valentine's day! I love that!
Pamela 🙂
Ah Kimberly, very chic! It has such a flowing beauty to it. My Clyde likes to be in my photos too.
Brenda
Gorgeous! It adds so much character to the room!
What a clever idea. A natural, even slightly wrinkled look appeals to my casual nature.
I need a bedskirt for my bed. We put the bed up on risers. I love a high bed, and I love the extra storage space it created. I do not love that my bedskirt is too short. You can buy skirts for high beds, at a high price. Maybe I could make a skirt from a dropcloth, too. I'm not much of a seamstress, but I can sew simple stuff. Great idea!
Very cute! Dropcloths are great for making tablecloths, curtains, and throw pillows too, especially outside…I am always buying 1-2 yards of prints I love at Home Fabrics, because eventually I know I can pair them with solids when I want to update my look, which I'm in the process of doing right now…love French Country…love those dropcloths…great work!
I absolutely love the look of your drop cloth bedskirt… just beautiful. I really like the gorgeous toile pillow you have placed on the bed, too. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely beautiful!
It looks totally amazing girl!!!! Wooooooo Hoooooooooooo!!! Love the fullness & the wrinkles too 🙂
btw….isn't that fabric just so unbelievably impossible to iron????? I don't know what the deal is or why….but it makes me crazy trying to iron it.
Love love love your room!
Shellagh
Lovely!
WOW, tutorial please!!!! I've been contemplating using my drop cloth for a bed skirt but I'm not sure where to start!
Truth be told, I'm a chicken! LOL
Thanks,
Kaye
