I know! Makes me wish I had more windows! I’m leaning toward stripes. They seem the easiest to do and I don’t have to buy a stencil. Although I have some stencils that I could probably use…hmmm. Stripes I’m sticking to stripes (I think)
thank you for including my striped curtains in your round up. i still absolutely adore them!
I’m loving each and every one of them. Mimi
Great ideas and gorgeous curtains. I am going to look at how to get those results. Hugs to you dear friend.
Hi Manuela, what a great post at the right time. I’ve been shopping around for curtains. DIY is always the best! Btw, I really like your blog. I just started following you. I also love cottage style and gardening. I can totally relate to your about me page. I’m making the best of my little 1950s home.
Hi Marlene,
Oh good! I’m so glad this post is helpful to you! I thought this was a great idea and I want to make some curtains for my office.
Thank you so much for subscribing to my blog. I’m so happy that you like it! Yes, so many of us are making the best of what we have!
Thanks. Glad I found you. It’s nice to find others who have the same interests.
I can’t wait to see what you make, I love the large striped ones best, they are so beautiful and tailored looking.

Thanks for all the eye candy. I can’t wait to check them out. Painted fabric has come a long way since I’ve last done it. It would seem to be the perfect way to get the color AND style.

I went to a baby shower at a beautiful brand new home today and I wish I had taken pictures of the window treatments, I am sure they were professionally done, very pretty and clever. I don’t even remember the fabric of the ones by the big dining window on the front of the house but I really liked they way they were hung. They were 2 straight panels, like tablecloths, each side had 3 clips at the top worth a ring on each one about the size of a narrow metal bangle bracelet. Those 6 bracelet clips were each hung on a square knob spaced about a foot apart. Yes, I really wish I had a picture to show you.
The drapes in the formal lining room were a natural linen with French looking handwriting on them.

New drapes for the master are on the agenda for this summer and so far I can’t find anything my sweetie likes. A fancy stencil (think floral with lots of color) on a plain drape may be our salvation! Thanks for the inspiration
