New Mudroom Curtains

April 14, 2009 By Sage 2 Comments

I mentioned last week that I was sewing curtains for my mudroom. I finished them today and what a difference $8.99 and a few hours can make!

Here’s the door with a valance I half heartedly reappropriated from somewhere else in the house. It had been like this for longer than I’d like to admit…

And now, with the new curtains made from 2 yards of cotton quilting fabric and tie-backs made from my scrap pile:

I think I’d prefer the curtains a tiny bit longer, but there’s no way I’m re-mitering the corners to gain an inch of length! (or maybe there is)

All in all, they turned out pretty well…

Now maybe I can talk my husband into fixing his sloppy edging job (I know you noticed!). In the meantime, take it from me… you’re better off painting trim first, then walls ;)

Once upon a time, I had the chance to move to the happiest country in the world!

My restless Aries spirit liked that idea, so I did what any girl in my position would do… I grabbed my cat, booked a one-way ticket to Denmark, and became an expat!
