Then I (and Priscella) spent one whole day organizing...it doesn't really look like it and I am no where near finished organizing but it's a start.
After all that boring work, I decided to add a little pretty. Curtains it is!
I need 8 curtains that were 24Lx28W and 1 that was 33LX34W. I had an idea to use these tulle curtains from IKEA. They come 2 to a package and are $3.99. I bought 5 packs. I also bought basic gold tension rods from Walmart for $2.49 each.
The curtains were a bit too shear so I wrapped the bottom around the curtain rod (making 3 layers of tulle). I did my best to bunch the curtains together evenly. Here's a pick:
Boring! |
I really like the tulle idea. It was nice coverage. You couldn't see all the things hiding behind the curtain but it really needed some color...I made a trip to Hobby Lobby and purchased 1 1/2 yards of this yellow fabric (love it!) and it was only $2.99 a yard. I cut the fabric into 9 strips that were 6 1/2 inches wide. I pinned it to the tulle and ran it through the sewing machine. I love the tulle and the yellow pattern but something was still missing...
Maybe a little Trim? |
Getting closer... |
I made another trip to Hobby Lobby and bought the zigzag ribbon for $3.99 (lucky me it was 50% off). I needed 3 rolls for all 9 curtains.
Perfect! |
Here's a few pictures of the finished product...I love them!
