Anthropologie inspired Bedding DIY

I adore 99.99% of Anthropologie. I could live in that store! Unfortunately, not everything I want is what my budget can afford. Eeek.... But when I can, I shop Anthro. Love, love, love Anthropologie.

Lately I've been itching to do something with my bedding. Maybe my whole bedroom, but starting with the bed. So here is where I currently am.


I liked it but I'm ready for a change. 

On a budget, change on a budget. None of these gorgeous Anthro bedding ensembles for me....(but aren't they beautiful?)

        

Or this lovely grey.



But hey, I'm adventurous. So I thought, with all the DIY inspiration we see on Pinterest, why didn't I give my bedding an Anthropologie inspired makeover? One of my favorite places to shop is TJ Maxx. In my former Interior Designer life, I worked with people who wanted to update or remodel their spaces but didn't have a high-end budget, and TJ Maxx can be very affordable. 

I found a simple grey quilt, $29.99, a grey queen sheet set, $24.99, a full sized white with grey scrolly-kind of print for $16.99 and two grey standard pillow cases for $9.99. 

  
It is my idea to make the quilt into a duvet cover using part of the sheet set and to design some kind of bedskirt using a mix and match of both sheet sets. And hopefully I have some material left over to make some throw pillow covers. 

Hmmmm......

We shall see! Stay tuned, I'm diving in!
