Makeover

From formal and drab...

To shabby and sheek!

I've been wanting to redo the curtains in our pool room for so long now. Our other ones just looked too formal with the pool table and they were pretty sun damaged. I was finally able to redo them this week and love how they turned out. A shout out to my mom for all the help she gave! (I must have called her a dozen times trying to figure out how much fabric I needed!!) I am still trying to decide if I like the pillows on the chairs though. I'm not sold yet. What do you think?

Kimberly said...

Looks Good! I like the pillows too. Did you make the curtains? Pillows?

Jessica said...

I made the pillows and the valences.

Em said...

Wow! How awesome are you?? Everything looks fantastic (including the pillows, which are beautiful). Great job. Any tips on how to sew these things?

I love it! Try turning the pillows the other direction so the lines are the opposite of the valance and see what you think. I think you should definitely keep them though I love them!

Andrea J said...

Funny. I was going to say the same thing about turning the pillows, nice work sucka!

Jessica said...

thanks everyone! i will have to try turning the pillows. way to think outside the box. Em--as far as sewing goes--I'm really not that good. I can just do some basic things. For pillows I cheat and fold the fabric in half so that I only have to sew 3 sides instead of 4!

I really like it too. I think it gives the room a more fun look but at the same time not overboard. Good job.
