Dropcloth Curtains

Thanks to everyone for the sweet comments on my guest bedroom post! It is awesome to read so many lovely comments from blogland!  My mom and I have a lot of fun projects planned for 2011 and we are looking forward to all of the inspiration that comes from reading everyone's blogs!

Now that the Christmas decorations are down and the house is clean, I decided to make a minor change in my living room that has had much more of an impact than I thought it would!  I knew my curtains were too bland for my den and I needed wider panels.  Here are my curtains before.  Not bad just a little too close to the wall color so they fade away...

So, I went to Home Depot and bought 5 dropcloths, ripped them right out of the package, and hung those bad boys right up! And yes, they need ironing.  Here is the after...








I LOVE how they look! They were $9.98 per dropcloth and for windows this size, I would have paid a lot more than that for fabric, even cheap fabric! A plus - they are already hemmed around all edges and are a good weight for curtains.  I can't believe it took me this long to jump on the blog bandwagon and do this! 

I am now going to take the red out of the dining room.  I thought I liked it, but I want to paint the sideboard blue like the hutch in my foyer and brighten things up in there.  I like red accents, but the red is just too heavy with the dark furniture.  Planning to get my paint tomorrow and get crackin'!

Thanks for stopping by!

Show us Your Life-Living Room and Master Bedroom

So, I love Kelly's Korner blog and she is redoing a round of Show Us How You Live. Last week was living rooms and this week is master bedrooms. So, I need to catch up since I didn't do last week and show you my living room first...







Now on to the master bedroom...It is still a little bare since we only moved in 6 months ago. I need window treatments some kind of bad!


























There is still a ton of work to be done in this room - more pictures on the walls, a sitting area where the toys are now, a rug, and window treatments...but all in good time.

Hope you enjoyed the tour!
