We are finally getting settled into the new place...now the decorating begins. Since Im trying to be frugal and use most of the decorations that I had from before BUT want to give them a new look, Im here to get more ideas from all of you wonderful decorators!!
My whole house has a "country" feel to it. The living room is kinda floral, shabby chic & country.
The dining room is going to be Americana because I have a lot of burgundy and navy decorations plus I have burgundy curtains that I want to use so that I dont have to buy new ones. DS and DH hate the way the curtains look in there so heres what Im thinking......They are 84" now but Im going to shorten them to the end of the short windows --there are 2 wider and shorter windows in there. Next, Im going to buy some Americana print fabric and sewn to the back of the panels that way I can pull the fronts of the curtains back to the sides and reveal the back print ---does that make any sense? Im not sure what to do with the top of the curtains though....they used to be tab tops but I cut the tabs off of them and now they are just hanging from a regular rod. Any ideas? I thought maybe a wooden valance might look nice but Im trying to come up with other ideas too.
I have my grandmothers old hutch-type cabinet that will be going in there as soon as it gets a coat of paint. It will be navy with a crackle finish.
I have a wooden shelf to hold more junk-haha!
Guess Im just looking for some craft ideas for this room.
Cant wait to hear any ideas!
Thanks,
Tami
