Last week I showed how I have updated the guest room by rearranging the furniture, adding a vintage table updated with a little paint, and changing the window treatments. Here is a quick reminder of the changes I made.
There was one problem with my update! I forgot to buy a matching window panel for the french door, and this white panel was just bugging me!
BEFORE
I have procrastinated all week on going back to Lowe's to get another window panel. But this morning I went, (and a good thing) as they only had one left!!
One, I tell you! They had several left when I bought the first three. So glad I went.
These panels only come in 84" length, so when I came home, I cut off the panel to a length of about 75". Door panels are usually around 72" so 75" allowed for a hem for the bottom rod. I simply hemmed across the edge folded it up a couple inches, and sewed across that. This was about a 15 minute project with the sewing machine, and makes a world of difference in the look of the room.
AFTER
Doesn't it look better?
I used the part I cut off to tie the panel in the middle. Nothing wasted, and it can easily be untied and removed.
I also wanted to show you something I hung in the guest room since my first post. This wall near the foot of the bed was totally empty. I hung this frame to which I added chicken wire. While in the attic changing the furnace filter the other day I saw this little angel from long ago up there, so I brought her down to hang on the frame. I think this made a cute little wall hanging!
I have also added a small lamp to the vintage table.
I think I am through in here now (unless I find a rug that will work)!! That is not a necessity, but a 'want". It will have to be a "great" bargain!
Have you made any changes lately?
