I'm slowly updating our living room. We purchased a huge sectional before Christmas last year which completely changed the look of the room. My next big change was the curtains. The ones we had were too short, outdated and I was completely over them. I'm not showing the whole room yet, because there is still much work to be done, but I had to share my new dropcloth curtains. I love them!
There are two windows in this room. The other is much smaller and is completely behind the couch, so I didn't add ruffles to that curtain. If I ever rearrange the room, which I'm not sure is possible with this huge couch, I may add ruffles to it later.
I found shower curtain rings at Home Depot that were quite a bit less than the clip-on curtain rings I was looking at there. I love the detail in these too.
For the loops, I just used some of the trimmed hems from the drop cloth curtain. I still need to paint or stain my curtain rod, which is just a large wooden pole from Home Depot. We added wood finials years ago, but now that the curtain rod shows, I want to find some silver ones to go with the curtain rings...I think. I'm thinking some knobs from Hobby Lobby, possibly.
Let me tell you these were a labor of love! Those ruffles took some time.
I didn't have quite enough drop cloth for all the ruffles, so I alternated onasburg with the dropcloth and I ended up liking the subtle differences of the ruffles.

I made them long enough to puddle on the floor a bit.

Sigh...I have a new love. I'm digging all that ruffled goodness.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Deborah! I have drop cloth curtains on my "to do" list for our master bedroom. Just for a change to the heavier drapes I have in there now. I have been debating between doing just ruffles at the top or at the bottom, but I like the way you've done it at the top and bottom.
ReplyDeleteOh my these are awesome and just so pretty but rustic all at the same time. I wanted to let you know that I am featuring your post tomorrow on Tuesday's with a Twist so please stop by to take a peek. Thank you again and have a great day.

ReplyDeleteSo, so pretty! You've done a wonderful job. Ruffles may be a pain to sew but they make everything so much better.
ReplyDeleteDeborah, I love drop cloth and these turned out darling! I really think the mixture of textures on the ruffles is fabulous! Thanks for sharing them with SYC. I will be featuring you this week.
