Thank you to everyone who commented on Monday’s video on finding creativity from inspiration images. There’s nothing better than a lively discussion that provides valuable feedback to fellow readers as well as give me ideas on how to make things better on BluLabel Bungalow. My continued efforts on the blog will be geared towards helping others be less intimidated and more adventurous when tackling their home’s decor.

Here’s an amazing comment from Pam who has an equally amazing story!!

She fell in love with the drapes and valance this bedroom while planning her baby’s nursery:

She purchase a pair of king-sized sheets from the Carlton Varney’s collection on HSN

and made this beautiful no-sew/sewing optional window treatmeant!! Remarkable,isn’t it?

She then crafted this changing table cover from a king size pillowcase. Clearly, she allows nothing to go to waste!

And there you have it. Pam gives full direction on creating the drapes and valance here.
Is this something you would try at home?

HI,
I'M ERIKA.

Beyond the Blueprint is a curated journal where legacy, lifestyle, and intentional design converge.

Here, I share stories from the heart of my home and the homes I create—faith-filled reflections, family rhythms, wellness practices, and design inspiration rooted in grace and purpose.

From motherhood and marriage to the sidelines of Friday night lights, each entry offers a glimpse into the layered life I live—and the brands, spaces, and values that support it.

Whether you're here to be inspired, encouraged, or aligned, welcome. This is life beyond the blueprint
