Birthday Presents....

My wonderful amazing do-gooder sister's birthday is in a couple of weeks. She is in her residency in New Orleans and so by default does not have a lot of free time. She graced us with her presence for a couple of days last week and we had a spectacular time spending my parents money..... We shopped..... we ate...... we laughed..... and by the end of our couple of days together we fought( isn't that what sisters do?). I have been racking my brain trying to think of a creative birthday present for Katie and it finally dawned on me..... I would redecorate her bedroom for her birthday. Katie has had the same bedding since she started medical school 5 years ago and to say that it has seen its better days would be an understatement. I poured through my online fabric resources and assembled a sophisticated, calming, peaceful bedroom., just what the doctor ordered(ha!). The following pictures are of the fabric samples and such. She will have take a picture so we can all see the final product.

Bed skirt and Euro Shams made from this....

With this trim....




And this quilt in White.....
And this Duvet with a porcelain blue dot trim.




And these lamps....

  1. Mary Cox,
    You are so talented. Maybe I could get your help with some color choosing /decorating this summer? We need major help around here! I found your blog off Kitty's- I love seeing all your favorite things! Hope you are doing well and getting lots of time with R and S.
    Also, where is the lamp from??
