The Case of the Missing Zebra

This is Whitley's new room (minus the zebra bedding). We had a lot of fun recycling items from our house to give her a new look. The night stand belonged to John & I's bedroom set; we painted it white and the hardware silver. The lamp she had from before, but I used fabric paint to paint the lamp shade black. The bed frame we used for guests and I simply made a bed skirt and tacked it around the perimeter. The headboard we made for $50. We cut down wafer board to size, I used the memory foam from her old twin bed and then covered in white faux leather and accented it with 8 buttons. The little mirrors I used on my 10th anniversary under candles, so I used some double stick tape to attach them.
This is what we call "Fish Art". For $4o we purchased a board, three fish bowls, 3 betas, black rock, plants and then made the shelves for them to sit on. The wicker chair in the background I had for 12 year so we painted it white and dyed the cushion black. We still need a hot pink accent pillow. Not pictured is her desk we got FREE off of Craigslist last year, and we changed the paint from antique white to pure white and painted the handles silver too.


Calling all detectives and mystery sleuths! This is as close as it gets to being a Nancy Drew or Sherlock Holmes. It seems that our zebra bedding is MISSING!
I called the company today in California and they have no clue what has happened. There is no tracking number, yet our order is still in the system...., and has been for two weeks.
The customer service representatives said at best she could reorder and they would arrive sometime after the 18th. (sigh)
So, in the meantime, all you clue-searching-sleuths can be on the look-out for a zebra striped, queen sized duvet cover and two pillow shams!
This could be your opportunity to convince your spouse that you need that trip to South Africa or exotic vacation you been dreaming of, while being a vital part in.....,
THE CASE OF THE MISSING ZEBRA!!!
