there is something on your skirt

Happy Thursday all! I'm slooowly inching my way towards finishing this blasted bedroom. Close enough that I'm down to the details...mostly. And what is more detail-ish than a bedskirt.<br /><br />I have a bit of a linens fetish. D. Porthault is like porn to me. But obviously that is a bit out of budget and I couldn't throw out my perfectly fine white Target bedskirt. Although, (cover your ears bedskirt) if I ever win the lottery you better believe I'm going to roll around in my D.Porthault bed all the live long day.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-iK8ofy_-qnQ4_6hQppaAg9tXnHY6DkDPcmbS2R459kogi6X-EF8C3N1RinzoR95CVln7nTS0gomb5GvQ8VJ-_BJBt4odcDrPRFni7oHUnnv-ngemvvdK_s_b0bzclEfvWstdgWxjcH29/s1600/P4075800.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="422" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-iK8ofy_-qnQ4_6hQppaAg9tXnHY6DkDPcmbS2R459kogi6X-EF8C3N1RinzoR95CVln7nTS0gomb5GvQ8VJ-_BJBt4odcDrPRFni7oHUnnv-ngemvvdK_s_b0bzclEfvWstdgWxjcH29/s640/P4075800.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">the old room and plain bedskirt</td></tr></tbody></table>I was so inspired by my lovely friend <a href="http://www.savvydesignwest.com/p/one-room-challenge.html" target="_blank">Tiffany's bedskirt</a> and the magic <a href="http://freckleschick.blogspot.com/2012/04/going-greek.html" target="_blank">Freckles Chick</a> worked on her curtains that I thought I could certainly slap some jazz hands on this thing.
