Family room re-do featuring.... my curtains! : )

For a while now, we've planned on finally finishing our family room.  That's right, it's kind of been unfinished for the entire time we've lived there.  It was painted and decorated, just no molding and the ceiling was hideous because we (and by we, I mean Zach) took down the drop ceiling the previous owners had put up.  So, anyway, I looked at curtains and didn't really find anything I liked, so I decided I was going to make my own.  Zach and I looked at Jo-Ann's a couple times and each time we looked I liked this fabric more and more.  It was the most expensive fabric I've ever bought, but in the end, it was sooooo worth it! (*Note- I bought the fabric in January before NSM! : ))

Here we are at Mama Joyce's one day after church cutting the panels.  I think we were all nervous to cut it.  It was too costly to mess up!

Fast forward a couple weeks because I didn't have time, was lazy, and also scared to sew on it, and I finally just delved in and didn't look back.

No progress pictures, because I always forget, plus have no photographer to document my work! (hint, hint, Honey!)

Drum roll, please....
Our new curtains and paint color!  I am not going to lie, I'm pretty pleased with myself!  A big thank you to my Mama and sister for helping me paint.

Here's a more practical picture with everything back in place.  Zach put popcorn finish on the ceiling and did an amazing job!  Now all we lack is molding, and that is going to happen SOON!  Mark my words!

My Mama sewed my door window curtain for me!  It fits perfectly and looks leaps and bounds better than the fitted sheet I had hanging up there!  (Can we say ghetto?! Haha)

 

Once we get the molding up, I may just give you a full room tour!  I think that'd be pretty awesome!  Now just to convince my sweet man I need molding...stat!
