My master bedroom makeover is still a few weeks away from being ‘finished.’  {That’s what I get for trying to do it in the midst of the holiday season!}  But I thought I’d share a little peek with you…unmade bed, unhung artwork and all.

I wanted to make the wall behind the bed a focal point, so I painted it Suitable Brown by Sherwin Williams.  The dark wall makes the white bedding feel so fresh and light.  {I love me some white bedding.} Handy Hubby and I hauled home a bunch of old fence boards from his family’s farm back in Pennsylvania.  A few I’ve used to create custom artwork/a makeshift headboard.  The rest will become a sliding barn door to the master bathroom.  The dark pillow was a Ballard Designs outlet find for less than $12.  {It was my inspiration for the wall color.}  The ruffled mustard pillow is from Etsy…big surprise there, huh?

In other news, Handy Hubby went through his massive clothing collection and got rid of a ton of stuff.  {I guess calling him out on the world wide web did the trick.}  I’m so proud of him.  Now, I can finally get that old white dresser out of the bedroom.  Just like anything that happens around here, this makeover is happening ever so slowly.  But the end is in sight!

After last week’s post which discussed a few of my favorite Etsy shops that offer handmade pillow covers, I’ve decided it would be fun to feature Etsy sellers from time to time that offer affordable and stylish items for the home.  So, today I’d like to introduce you to The Home Centric.  I purchased the vintage ruffle pillow cover in my living room from this Etsy shop.

I was a little nervous about having a satin pillow cover in the house with 2 young kiddos, but I’m happy to say that it’s held up well against wrestling matches and pillow fights.  It’s just as sweet and feminine as the day it arrived.  In fact, it’s one of the rare sweet and feminine things in this house full o’ boys {and me}!

The Home Centric is based out of India and specializes in handcrafted pillow covers that add texture, color and even a bit of glitz to any room.  Just look at a few of the gor.ge.ous pillows below all bedazzled in The Home Centric’s best.

Crazy good, right?!  Ruffles and sequins and buttons, oh my!  Seriously, these pillow covers are like jewelry for your furniture.  Many of the covers are available for less than $30.  And if you purchase more than one cover per order, you only have to pay shipping charges for one pillow cover. Nervous about ordering online from an international seller?  Don’t be.  The Home Centric has over 1,000 feedback responses with nearly 100% of customers reporting a positive shopping experience.  {Did you know you can check all Etsy sellers’ feedback ratings?}

If you’re in the market for a fresh throw pillow or just want to kill some time looking at pretty things, click on over to The Home Centric and see what else it has to offer.  You won’t be disappointed. Pinky swear.

FYI – I was not compensated in any way for this post.  I just love sharing good stuff.
