Paris in the Fall- Audrey Hepburn and Paris Themed Bedroom DIY

For those of you that know me, you know I am obsessed with Audrey Hepburn. That my favorite movie is Breakfast at Tiffany's. That I think she was one of the most inspiring role models ever. So elegant. Graceful. And a humanitarian up until her passing. I love her, everything she stood for, and that period of time.

I also love the romance of Paris. The vintage decor. Everything. It just screams "Stephanie!!!!!"

So this is what I bought for my DIY makeover!!!

First up- this adorabs pink stand was on sale for 20 bucks! They had some of the cutest pink furniture- antiqued, for a very good price. But i have a VERY strict budget and so the other item, had to wait till I have the extra. But this is going to double duty for my vendor events I do with Perfectly Posh 
SOOOO I could justify the 20.00 price tag!


 Next up- The fabric for the panels. Im using foam board and covering them with fabric. The middle part, to give it some depth, is a cut up egg crate foam that you put on top of your bed. The fabric is GRAY chevron ( the picture makes it look black) Im doing 3 panels above my bed in place of a head board! Im also going to go back and get more gray chevron to do curtains ( of which im making) Total cost for this fabric and the one below 27.00



This fabric is going to be used to make two accent pillows for my bed! My mom found it and it was perfect! It will bring out the pops of pink in the Audrey Hepburn poster i have up, as well as the pink pillowcases on my bed ( comforter is black and sheets will be a set of gray and a set of pink) 


The piece de la resistance is this beauty. It was originally 50 bucks but on sale for half price. My mom purchased this for me! 

Total cost of everything (including comforter b/c i needed a new one) and the foam boards not picture- 80.00
I will be doing the curtains myself- and i have not purchased that fabric. I already had all my Audrey Posters framed and canvases from years before just waiting for our home. I only need the curtains left for this part of the project.

My total should be around 100 flat for everything. The next step is a new king size bed set, king size sheets and a new table lamp and two bedside tables.  But that will come eventually!
