Well I have been trying to create my own crafting area. I have a large window in my room which needed some curtains. I searched and searched for the perfect fabric to make a statement since the window is BIG. I really didnt want to pay 7.99 a yard for specialty fabric.

So, when you cant find what you want, make it!!!!! What else is a girl to do!!!! I was in Joanns and spotted that their felt was 2.99 a yard and it was the perfect width!!! It was meant to be!!!!

Now how to make it my own....hmmmmm. Ah ha....I searched for the perfect tool..I used a top to one of my bead jars and hot glued a wood knob to it. Homemade stamper!!!!!

Then I got busy stamping. I stamped and stamped and stamped!!! Oh, I used simple craft acrylic paint for the dots.

After my dots where all dry, I used those ring curtain clippy things and just clipped them to my fabric and hung them on my curtain rod.

Next I stood back and admired!!!! Ahhhhh.......perfect!!!!!!!

When you cant find what you want, MAKE IT!!!!!! Love my new curtains!!!!

Thanks for looking! Hope this inspires you!!!!!!

Laundry room redo--first the curtains

I have been seeing all the beautiful laundry rooms from other bloggers and mine definately needed a new look! I didnt take pics before so I apologize.

Over the window, was an outdated ivy green and white valance( from my 90's style decorating). It was just serving a purpose! I put it out of its misery...gave it a good and needed washing and off to goodwill. Anyway, the other curtain covers up a large shelf full of boxes and such.

Both curtains where NOT sewed!!! I ironed the edges over and HOT GLUED them! Then I hung a curtain rod over the window and used a tension rod over the shelf. I used those rings with the clippy things and clipped them up!!! Easy peasy! I used satin ribbon and clipped it up as well to get that "gathered" look. The pic makes the ribbon look like leather but it is satin ribbon. I do plan on taking the blind down, I just haven't had a chance!

Thanks for looking!!! I will post more stages of the laundry room when I do more!!!! Next step, cabinets over the washer and dryer! :)
