Since the smell of spring is in the air, I wanted to change my living room colors. I am loving the color blue lately and when paired with chocolate brown it looks fantastic. The other day I saw these gorgeous drapes with chocolate, green and blue striped colors. I wanted them sooo bad. But, the price was way too steep. Sooo, I thought I would make them. When I added up the price of four metres of similar fabric, it was still too expensive. Then I had a "Sell This House" moment. Sheets!! I would re-purpose sheets into living room drapes. I found these beautiful robin's egg blue sheets and all I had to do was cut the flat sheet in two, hem one side of each panel and the bottom. Taadaa!!!! I actually finished a project. I did! lol
I even used left over sheet material to cover a pillow :) and make a new pillow with pattern fabric. I was even doing this when my fav show was on... Nascar!
I love the way the living room is shaping up. It looks very fresh.
I even re-did my mantel with some blue, white & green accents. I still need to paint the family sign, black I think.
