at first glance I loved this, but as soon as I thought about it I realized the fatal flaw--the gaps between the corks! :) I live in a tropical climate where coasters are a daily must with ALL drinks, due to insane amounts of condensation from our glasses, the liquid would trickle right through the gaps onto the surface below :( the last comment (by katester) about hot glueing some cork shelf paper to the bottom of each coaster would maybe solve this problem..not sure though?

I LOVE it!! I love combining different colors & textures & I am totally inspired by the result! I do a lot of piecing together with lots of bright colors & textures as well, with my upcycled bags!

I truly love seeing projects like yours--they get me motivated to get busy on my own projects and give me new inspiration!!

LOVE IT! I think you did a great job!! Unlike comments from some others, I noticed the two major changes immediately--being the wall color and the bedding. I love how seemingly subtle changes can make such a dramatic difference!!

I do like the idea of possibly adding a smaller dose of lavender back into the room by quarter folding the darker bedspread at the bottom of the bed. That would take a moment to do though and then you could decide if that actually works or not. I also love the painting that your sis did, love it!! How very cool that it is personal too! I do agree about possibly hanging it a bit lower & I think you have to ask you sis to paint you two more much slimmer vertical paintings that could accompany the larger one & that would flank the middle one--maybe as a birthday gift? :) THAT would be amazing!

great job - thanks for sharing!!
