I took it upon myself to make new curtains for all of the windows in our family room. There are five windows in this room. Two are sliding glass doors. I combined some ikea curtains to make wider panels and hung them on a rod for these two doors.
On the remaining 3 windows are Roman Shades that I made from panels of the ikea curtains. In a following post I'll give a tutorial for making them. They're easy and so much cheaper than buying custom made Roman shades from a store.
Here's an individual shot so you can see more detail.
By changing these curtains the room has changed drastically. With adding some color in it feels like there is more life in the room.
Here's a before and after comparison

Oh so much better!!! Did you paint too?
ReplyDeleteI haven't painted yet. I'll be painting with in the next couple of months. It'll probably be a light tanish color. I haven't decided on a specific color yet.
ReplyDeleteHuge difference! Curtains can be so intimidating I think, but I'm getting better about it. I would have sat in the corner rocking back and forth crying if I had to figure out a solution for the room you just did! =)
ReplyDeleteWOW!! What a difference! Soooooo much better and modern. You are so talented, my little Rebecca! Taylor is so blessed to have you in his life. I need curtains but have been intimidated on what to do. You have inspired me!
