I have yet to feel like our house is a home.. i know what i want, but putting everything in its place takes so much time!!! since we've been traveling so much i really havent had a chance to focus on the house- well.. thursday, it hit me. Awhile back, i stumbled on some Linen Fabric at an outlet that was TWO BUCKS! I snatched it up and its been sitting in my closet for about a month.
I'm pretty much obsessed with the blog Thrifty decor chick and get MANY ideas from her smart brain! So.. from that my new window treatment was born.. on a DIME!!
I had the curtain rod already.. Target of course. I bought some el cheapo brackets at Walmart that were gold.. EWWWWW_ i whipped out the ol' trust silver spray paint and changed their color.

Had the husband hang the rod up... many curse words spoken --- i like to laugh at him during these home projects cause its so comical watching him get upset. Oh wait.. back up.. i'm getting ahead of myself. I DONT SEW- so i used some super duper adhesive tape and made a loop for the rod to go thru.
Then.. i used this Linen jacket you see pictured below.
Lemme give you some background on it. My grandma passed away years ago and i was given a few pieces of her clothing. One of them was this linen jacket pictured below. I wanted to do something with it where i could USE it instead of sitting in my closet. So, i CUT up the back of it and made 4 strips. I tied 2 strips together pulled up the linen and then tied at the top in a bow.. and there you have it folks.. Hides my window with funky glass in the bathroom that lets in too much light--
Seriously.. out of pocket for this project was only 4 DOLLARS!!! i already had the curtain rod and the spray paint.. Im pretty sure my Grandma would be proud.. i'm trying to figure out how to use the rest of the jacket--- pillows for my bed would be cute!!
And.. Since i found out my In laws will be here in a month, i have even more incentive to keep on decorating! I painted Lil Muffins room tonight for 6 hours-- you'd think its a big room, but the problem is, i'm a SUPER crazy painter and have to have everything done perfect..
The color? Its by Behr paint, called Refreshing pool - and it reminds me of Tiffany Blue. I'm in LOVE, people!! Absolutely IN LOVE! Pictures will come, i promise..
