New Curtains

I finally got around to making curtains for my craft room. While I enjoy having a window in my tiny room, all it gives me is a view of our neighbor's ugly vinyl siding. Not the most inspiring thing to see, but but somehow made more pleasant with the addition of lovely new curtains!


I wish I had some before pics of the room, which is really just a tiny mudroom leading to our backyard, because I've put more work into this little space than the entirety of the rest of the house. The paint came from the mistint section at Lowe's- no clue what the name is; I was just happy finding the exact shade and finish I wanted for $5.00! Furniture is from the curb- living in college town does have its perks. I believe someone could furnish an entire house with all the stuff these kids leave behind at the end of the school year!


The curtains were upcycled thrift store finds. I used a freezer paper stencil to transfer my design. This techinique is so simple (and super addictive!) so I'll be making Ro a slew of stenciled tees for fall.


I have more plans for this room still. I want to paint the folding chair red and reupholster it with stenciled fabric (using the scissor design) and, if I have luck on the freecycle network, lay down new tile on the floor.
Now let's just hope my little room gets heat this winter!
