I wanted to change up some pillow covers I had gotten on clearance with insert at JCPenney for $4 each a few years back. I used some RIT dye for the first time, and made them feel like something brand new for little cost. They went from cream to gray within five minutes of stirring the mixture around in some warm water. It was an easy update and I'm glad I finally tried it out.
I've added them to the bed in the guest room. Here they are along with some other items I've added to the room so far.
1. Yellow from Target on clearance for $15
2. Gray a redo from Marshalls for $30
Night Stands
1. Left Side is a purchase from the Tag Sale by Elizabeth & Co for around $50.
2. Right Side is the fold in Gossip Table we received from our neighbor for free.
Bed:
1. My Aunt gave this to us a few years ago and we love the chippy paint on it.
2. Quilt Coverlet from Kohl's $30 with sale and Kohl's Cash.
3. Pillow Covers from a few Etsy Stores (Glam Design & Elmeno Pillows) and Home Goods. Don't tell Amy at While Wearing Heels that I didn't make them myself. :)
Thanks for checking out the progress so far. Next up after my classes end will be curtains and painting the walls.

I like the texture of the sweater pillows. Great job, Megan!
ReplyDeleteThat looks great, Megan! I've always wanted to try dying my pillows too... you make it look so easy. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find in the first place, and then the dye job makes them even more awesome! You've got some big projects lined up. Can't wait to see them. And....isn't Amy the best???!!
ReplyDeleteThose gray pillows look AMAZING. What a difference going from cream to gray made. That is one super chic guest room. I think I should come visit, stay in this chic room...and teach you to sew :)
ReplyDeleteOh pretty - one of my favorite color combinations! My Megan has been having really good luck with dye projects too!

Loving the texture that the pillow brings, loving the color combination of yellow and grey, so very pretty! Your guest room is very pretty, warm and welcoming! Better be careful visitors might not want to leave! Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration with Sunday’s Best – you helped make the party a success!

Looks great! I'm obsessed with yellow and gray right now. Just love the combination! Visiting from My 1929 Charmer.

Love it!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you got those pillows for $4! Total steal! I've never thought of dyeing stuff. It mostly just happens by accident in the laundry. Good idea!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Love those pillow covers and they turned out great! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is cute! I really like the gray/yellow look. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a simple but very effective way to makeover your pillows. I've never used fabric dye but I'm seeing lots of projects lately that make me want to change my ways!
