New Season, New Room

After sprucing up the living room with a brand new paint color, the old red and gold curtains just didn't seem to work.  Problem is, 4 panels worth of curtains can get pric-ey.  So a moment of ingenuity brought me to a whole new type of fabric... tablecloths! 

 

Target's Threshold line has great patterns and colors.  I found this great paisley that went perfect with the new paint color.  Adding a liner behind the tablecloth completed the look, giving me an actual curtain, rather than just some fabric in my window.  With 5 tablecloths, I was able to make 4 panels, 1 valance and 3 pillow covers for my couch!  After about a day's worth of work, I came out with gorgeous, professional - looking curtains for less than $100!

Pretty nice, right?  Hope you are having a great day!
Love, J

Happy New Year!
