Today's Show Us Your Life with Kelly's Korner is all about window treatments.
I thought I'd take you around several rooms in our house and show you our various window treatments and let you know a few of my tips for transitioning our curtains throughout our various houses we've owned and different rooms.
Our living room has a set of three windows, and I had a hard time figuring out how to cover these windows without covering our view of the backyard, at my husband's request. Because they are so long, and I didn't have curtain rods long enough, we ended up using two of the same curtain rods putting them side by side, and hanging two curtains on the ends; covering more of the walls than the windows.
These curtains are a green "silk" and I bought them at Wal-Mart. They are also lined and I love them. They were originally purchased for the master bedroom, but we have a green couch, so it was easy to transition them.
If you look carefully though, you'll notice that this picture only shows one of our treatments, because G pulled down the other side this morning. DJ will have to put it up when he gets home.
This window treatment is my favorite, although I wish it were a tad longer. We have a huge window in our dining room, and I only wanted to cover the top half. We purchased this fabric form Hobby Lobby, and my grandma hot glued a hem into it! She firmly believes anything can be fixed with a hot glue gun!
I think i'm going to buy some black trim and hot glue along the bottom, just to give it some extra length.
Here's a close up of the fabric.
The next set of window treatments are in G's room. When G was a baby we purchased two pink panels that hung in her room. Once we moved into our purchased home in Indiana and updated to her big girl bedding, we added fabric along the bottom of the pink curtains. The white curtains were left by the original home owners, so we added fabric along the bottom of those as well. These have now been in three different houses. Although, in our first Tulsa house, we just hung the pink curtains.
Here's a close up of the bottom.
This last set was purchased from TJ Max. I bought both panels for a total of $12.00! They are perfect in the girls play room, and I love the ruffles at the top and bottom.
Here's a close up of the bottom ruffles.
I was going to share MC's window treatments, but she was napping as I was going around to snap photos. Her curtains are white panels, and my mother bought eyelet to add to the bottom. She also made an eyelet topper.
DJ and I still need to come up with window treatments for our master bedroom and bath, but we are waiting, because I'd love to purchase a new comforter. He also needs curtains in his office!
I would love for you to realize, that decorating doesn't have to be expensive, and that you can find window treatments anywhere! Wal-Mart, TJ Max, or even make them yourself, or decorate them yourself! I also would either request for window treatments to remain, when you purchase a home, if you like them, or if you are selling a home, make sure you note which curtains you will be taking with you. There was no way that I could leave G's curtains in Indiana since they match her bedding!
