So today I finished my curtains...they are made out of black ticking (heavy fabric) then I added black trim that I bought at JoAnn Fabric, the rusty stars I had already! I had to close the blinds because the sun was shining and the pics weren't turning out to good.
Did I sew them? No, I used a staple gun and tacky glue:) Stush has been out of work since March and buying curtains is just out of the question right now so.....when life hands you lemons you make lemonade! They will do until I can get others but right now I'm really liking them, I wanted this type of curtain since they came out which would have cost me oh, about $80.00, my way I figure I spent $6.00 on both windows...not bad not bad at all:)
I'll show you some pics of how I decorated it...this side is by the double window, the hanging candle light I got in West Virginia, that's the mirror I redid a while back.
The headboard I painted black...the barn red checked pillowcases I found at Goodwill for a $1.00 a piece. The sampler pillowcase I bought at Gabes (discount store) I can't remember how much I paid for it but it's by Ralph Lauren. The sweet simplicity pillow I bought from the lady I always by from at the Crafters Showcase!
This is above my bed!
These are pictures of my grandaughters and me taken at Chuckie Cheese...I still have to get one of Samantha and me, I framed them with frames that I picked up for a dollar.
The nightstand I painted black also it was once white, painted the lamp black too! I tell you I'm dangerous with a can of black spray paint:) My old suitcases and my pennyrug on the rocker.
The other side of the room...the barn red wooden plate to the left on the bench I got from Goodwill for a $1.00 it was from Ikea and I painted it and added the star in the middle
Thought I'd show you my cupboard doors which I love they look brand new don't they? They have been there since 1983! Just goes to show paint can make anything look brandnew;0

Well, I have to go check on my paint job outside, they are calling for rain so I keep checking the sky... Stush will have to help me carry it back into the garage:)

Love the room. I have an old head board that is just like that. I have never painted over the stain. But just might try it. It is for a queen bed and now we have a king. Not sure how it would look. I will have to give it a try. Love the curtins!
