My windows here in Nashville have been naked for the last 10 months. Why? basically because I am the cheapest interior decorator you will ever meet. ( any of you “Designer/Decorator terminology fanatics will note my use of the term decorator..if you care WHY, comment, I will explain ;))
I don’t like spending money on window treatments. I know…its really bad..mostly because there has been more than one time that I had to duck below the windows while getting dressed because my elderly neighbor wanted to enjoy some coffee on his back porch. And then there was the night I came home late and could see straight into my sons room and what was hanging on the walls. No Bueno. SO, I decide to start with Liams room!!
I read a VERY long time ago on Young House Love, about how Sherry uses simple hanging rings to hang fabric for curtains. So, I started on my journey to find the perfect fabric. Fast forward to 3 weeks ago, when, as I was walking through Target, I saw the cutest grey chevron twin sheet set on clearance for $10!!! BINGO why not cut these bad boys up and make curtains for Liam??!! So I bought 2 sets, cut them in half , added hanging rings, and VOILA!! Curtains!! I cant believe i waited THIS long!!!
BEFORE:
The Sheets!!
Best invention EVER!!! $$8 for a pack of 10~~
AFTER:
I was so happy with how they turned out!! although I believe I could use a few more rings, that way they would lay a little better! Add it to my to do list. Until then, I will enjoy the little chevron 🙂
The other thing I did was make hanging flags. This was the SIMPLEST project EVER!!! I really needed to punch up the color in Liams room, mostly because it was starting to feel too matchy, matchy !! I am not a fan!!
So I decided to buy a few books of Scrapbook paper, cut out a triangle template, and use some bakers twine that I had. It turned out really cute, and adds just the right amount of whimsy and color!!
