I’m not going to lie, this project drove me a little crazy. Tulle is REALLY finicky to work with and no matter what I did I just couldn’t get everything perfect. So it drove the perfectionist in me nuts. I pinned it, and unpinned it, and repinned it several times before I just had to let it be. How to make a tulle bedskirt I measured the single mattress on the three sides that would have the bedskirt and it was a total of 5m....

And as tempted as I was to pull out my keys and rip open the tape on those boxes, I held myself back (it was hard though… I definitely stared at the boxes for at least a minute considering it…)....

Confession time: Is there a chore that you just hate doing? For me, that chore is grocery shopping. I know it’s totally ridiculous, since I’m a food blogger!
