Can I trust you to keep a secret? My DIY ruffle shower curtain is really a drapery
panel!
Okay, so it’s not exactly do-it-yourself. I scored something the other day at Goodwill
that caused me to experience a pitter-patter moment.
It was one of those finds that you place in the cart, then put back,
then place in the cart again. It was a
big, white, ruffly curtain. Curtain? Well, a single curtain panel, without a
match. From Target!
Target{dot}com still carries them here. Okay, so this is two panels, but you get the picture.
I first pictured it on the window in my daughter’s
room. Then I realized that I’d need
another panel to make the set . And that wasn’t happening, no matter how long I
scrounged around in that Domestics bin for a match. It still had the Target label on it, and a
price: $19.99. Uh, no thanks. But there was a line drawn through the price,
which meant maybe it was cheap after all. When I got to the register the nice guy said, hhmmm, how about
$4.99? As much as I hated paying that much,
I realized it was a steal (for new) and said OK.
Now I am SO glad I did!
Before I even got home I thought… how about a shower curtain? The kids’ bathroom really needed a
facelift. And it’s the only bathroom of
the 4 that has a regular sized tub which actually needs a curtain. I remembered seeing some ruffly shower
curtains in the blogosphere and my mind went nuts.
Anthro's Flamenco Shower Curtain.
And knock-offs, too.
You can read about this over at Prudently Painted Vintage. Her tutorial is not for the faint of heart. As I am not a sewer, I think my idea worked out fabulously. What do you think?
No, this is not it. It's the BEFORE shot! Gotta have a before shot.
Now, the AFTER!
What do you think?
Next I'd like to paint the vanity white. Now if we could just get rid of those wallpapered Noah’s Ark
animals on the wall. Any suggestions?
