I've been working in the back bedroom for the last couple of days. It was the "dumping grounds" for anything we wanted out of sight. I wanted this to be a nice area for over- night guests, but it's also our spare computer room, my Longaberger office and craft room. I really wanted to use khaki check for the bedroom and found a few accessories but couldn't afford Longaberger's price for a bedspread/comforter, although I did really like it. I found this one at JCPenney. It's part of the American Living collection and a JCPenney just happened to open very close to my house about 1 1/2 years ago. I saw this collection and instantly felt like this could be a great alternative. Luckily I was able to watch as this set went 50% off, 65% off, and finally clearanced. I used their entire set and added khaki check to the gatehouse basket to hang on the bedside, and have khaki check valances with blinds on the window. I have my Longaberger paperwork station set up under the window with three catalog baskets with copies of Your Success and the Collector Club Signatures magazines. On the second shelf you'll see I have the file basket w khaki check with various papers. Next to it is the Desktop basket with other various Longaberger items. The bottom shelf has two of the Sort & Store bin dividers in khaki check. They needed a little support, so I purchased a couple "cheap" baskets at TJMaxx to use just as fillers to help them keep their shape. One is holding past Longaberger Notebooks and I haven't a use (yet) for the other one. In between I purchased some black upright magazine holders to hold some magazines I like to keep. The desktop is organized with the pen pal basket and a lamp with a "faux" khaki check shade that I pieced together from part rummage and part Target. Of course, I placed the basket photo above the desk. I love this print. I'm still working on the closet re-do and I'll take a picture of that also. By just going in there for an hour or so everyday, I get motivated to keep working in there to finish it off. It's turning out great. Let me know your comments and suggestions.
