I Dyed my Bedspread

I really like the bedspread we normally use, but it is very dark and wintery looking.  I was wanting a lighter look for summer, but didn’t want to go out and spend a lot of money.  I had a white bedspread we had used back when we had a guest bedroom before kids.  Since my bedroom walls are a burnt sienna color, I didn’t think white would look good in there.  So, I made a trip to the Wal-Mart and got some tan liquid rit dye.  I took the bedspread to the laundry mat and dyed it there.  I couldln’t believe how expensive it is to wash clothes there – $2 – and I didn’t even use their dryer.  I just brought it home wet and hung it out on the line.

This is the bedspread before dying it.

This is after.  I took the camera to the laundry mat to take pictures, but totally forgot while I was there.  Notice our cat.  She wouldn’t get off for me to take a picture – that is HER spot.  She does look irritated though that I was bothering her.
