Tablecloth Curtains



For some time, I've thought that my little bedroom lacked pizazz. Before we moved in, I hopped out on a rickety limb and painted the walls a blue jean blue sort of color. Not the best choice in hindsight, but I haven't quite thrown in the towel. 

While perusing the clearance aisle of Kohls, I found a fancy, floral tablecloth, and I knew it belonged in my blue jean bedroom. The measurements were perfect; one table cloth per window.




I enlisted the help of my grandma. First, she fed me supper. Then, we cut each tablecloth in half, hemmed the halves to make panels, and ironed the fabric flat. Super easy!

To add to the easiness, my mom found clip-on curtain rings. On clearance. For three dollars a pack.




 The curtain rods were treasures from an endcap in the back of Menards. They've got just the perfect amount of whimsy.




Altogether...

Tablecloths: $12 each
Curtain Rings:  $3 per pack of seven
Curtain Rods: $8 each

That's $24.50 per window! It is a bargain that required patience and was several months in the making. Timelines can demolish a decorating budget.  Bargains come along at their own pace, you just have to keep your eyes open!
