I love windows and I really love window treatments. Lately I really REALLY love roller shades, especially in a room with lots of windows. Some need regular curtains and some need roller shades! These windows were screaming roller shades right in my face. So I bought two of the $4 kind from WalMart and fixed [...]
My son’s new bedroom has two huge windows. The whole wall is window, which I love. But buying curtains to cover that much window? Yeesh. So for just under $70 I made 4 panels (54″ x 54″). I could have purchased curtains for less than this but they wouldn’t have been the exact color to [...]
I found this rug at Target and I loved it for my office, only it’s 5×7, way too big to fit. So I cut it in half. With scissors. Ack! It was one of those Here Goes… kind of projects but it worked out so great. Using the pattern as a guide, I cut the [...]
