I've turned embroidered towels over to the other side too.  You do the best with what you have sometimes!

Julianna;

    I have performed that trick numerous times.  In fact, I can remember walking through a home one time with a Realtor.  When we got to the master bedroom the first thing I did was walk to the foot of the bed and flip up the comforter.  The Realtor had a puzzled look upon her face and then I explained my move.  I told her that before I recommended the home seller purchase a new bedding set, I always check the underside to see if it is a simple plain color which they almost always are.  She thought I was a genius...hey it was her thought...I didn't argue with her! ( ;

Cheers!

Julianna, thanks for sharing this creative idea.

Your welcome Kathy! Gina and Sharon - I've even flipped a valance to show the solid lining for an update. Patterns and prints can get "dated" so fast.

Julianna ~ Nice way to reuse!  It looks much better that way.

Way to clever...can tell you are the gold star of designery!

You are so right.  I too have used the same trick.  The homeowner is always appreciative when you use as much of their belongings to save THEM money.  Great Job!

goodness does it look better though!  GREAT job!  I don't know if I would have thought of doing that.... clever.

You know so much of staging these days is bringing in all new stuff, that the challenge and satisfaction of the using things that the owners have is getting less and less what we do.  It happened to me and Brenda Kruse, BK Staging and Design one day that we didn't realize was a holiday and our storage was closed.  We had to just go and do it the good old fashioned way and it was beautiful.  We forget, that's what it was all about 5 years ago.  Just a little nostalgia here.   Good post.

It looks 10x's better, sometimes, it can be a real challenge using what you have.  But it looks like it worked for you!

Terrylynn - I love your story! The other day we did some one day decorating in Gig Harbor, which we we added a little bit more to, but we told the homeowner our favorite purchase was a lamp (that we found downstairs inthe basement) She almost fell for it... it was a funny joke, and it did look fabulous in her bedroom!

Fantastic idea! Will have to keep this in mind for future projects on a budget. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice, Julianna!  You are so clever to have turned over the bedspread, and to have repositioned the bed on the wall instead of leaving it under the window.  I'm also happy you sent that flat, "stuffed" moose or whatever it is on the bed, packing!!!  It always amazes me when I see stuffed animals prominently displayed on the bed in the master bedroom.

Julianna, I think you have flipped (just kidding). Great idea, when ever I buy a bed set for my inventory I always make sure it is reversible. Thank for sharing and nice staging.

Thanks Barbara -- and I have flipped every now and then.

Julianna-that's the redesigner coming out in you-use what's there first!  You certainly achieved "Designery" in this room.  Great job!

Julianna I get so much out of staging occupied homes I have many of them recently and I love turning the house on it head and bringing out all of its potential. Sometimes low to no budget are the ones that come out the best! Kym

Julianna,

A little slight of hand is just what the doctor ordered.

I'll see you at your color class.

Oh a spin is my favorite.
