First of all, thanks so much for all the shout outs for my shop. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your support. You are all simply awesome!
Here are the latest lovely floral pillows I added to the mix.
Ok, now on to my next project. I’m been working this past month on finishing up the boys bedroom. It’s literally just a day away from being finished and I’m loving it SO much. I found the PERFECT fabric for the space and just knew it was the one. I was really wanting a blue and orange scheme and this fabric pulled all the pieces together. It’s fun, hip, playful, but not too childish.
So where is this fabric going you ask? On the windows, of course. You know I love patterned window treatments! I didn’t want to pay for a custom made shade from this fabric, so I used the existing shade and glued my fabric over the top. I know I always say this, but anyone can do this!
I pulled off some white ribbon trim that I glued on a few years ago so you can see where the glue left its mark.
I laid my fabric over the shade to measure the length. I tucked it under the folds before I cut it to make sure I didn’t cut it too short.
I used a combination of iron-on hem tape and Fabri-Tac to attach the fabric. I used the hem tape on the flat part and used the glue on the underside of the folds.
I left about a half inch of fabric around all the edges so I could wrap it around the back. When the front was secure, I flipped the shade over and attached the edges to the back with more Fabri-Tac.
The whole thing took me about 2 hours to complete. Because I used a geometric pattern, it took more time to make sure the fabric was lined up correctly and didn’t look crooked. If you used a solid or all over floral pattern, it would be much quicker.
Sorry to leave you hanging, but you’ll have to come back tomorrow to see it all finished and hung. You’ll also get to see the rest of the room!
