However a good friend of mine was over here the other day and said, "Wow, you're so creative! How do you come up with all these ideas?"
And I just don't really know. I know I see a picture of something I like, and well, I want to make it! I think it really helps that I have a husband who can fix/make just about anything! :) And now that I found a seamstress - possibilities are endless! :)
For instance, I saw this picture on pinterest and fell in love. For those of you who don't know much about pinterest, I suggest you try it. I'm not really into the 'new thing' -- I don't tweet, I just learned about instagram -- I'm just NOT on the up and coming. And I'm okay with that.
I would never go with that floral print however, I just love the feel of these curtains. They feel romantic. They feel voluptuous. They are apparently called a balloon curtain. (scroll to the bottom of that page)
And I found this print at JoAnn's. Its parisian -- and it has blue butterflies, a pink mannequin-type-thing -- its just great!
These curtains are going in my closet - yes, I am so fortunate to have such a closet in a 1930's home! (someone had some money back then!)
That is a sample of the fabric. We'll definitely put some backing on them. And no - I don't really use the closet for much - its actually extremely cold in there! And now I need to get in touch with Elcy and see how much fabric I need for these - they do look like they will take a bit of fabric. Measured the window - its 36" long by 8 feet wide! Whew! :)
At any rate, just wanted to share with you my thought process and encourage you all that you can do whatever you dream up! In my case, you just have to be patient - it may take a while! (I presume I will have these installed sometime in February or March!)
Happy saturday-at-home ya'll!
Much love,
Heather
