Room Decorating at Work

I guess every year we re-decorate the conference rooms at work. My team was assigned to the Monte Carlo room. It wasn't too pretty. Orange walls with gold and painted brick with random junk that didn't match the room. After 3 days of constant labor and a little help with a couple team members this is the final outcome!

Before:


The new Monte Carlo Conference Room. Theme is clean/crisp 1950's pin up. Classy and stylish with a little of HR approved naughtiness. Total Cost: $170

A couple weeks later I found this really cool wall sticker. It was a good add to the wall because I felt it was missing something.....

Mommy look what I made!

i found a neat video on monkeysee.com to make no sew curtains. Here is my first try with the kitchen. I want to make another one for the laundry room. If that curtain looks better I am going to swap the two. The windows are the same size so it will be easy to do.

I love the fabric so much I hope the other fabric store has it in stock. The one I went to I bought the last of it.
