I feel like this room makeover has taken for-ev-er!  Maybe that's because we are completing it in real-time and not seeing a whole room finished in one hour like it does on HGTV. Our semi-custom curtains arrived and we are thrilled with the quality.

DIY Ballard Bowen Stripe Curtain Panels

I'm getting a lot of questions about our new Great Room curtains so I figured I would post about them.

I fell in love with these Ballard Designs Bowen Curtain panels, which are on sale this weekend.   They were over my current budget though. I already had 2 pairs of Ritva Curtain Panels from Ikea, so we laid them out in the hallway and marked off every 8 inches. Then we used painters tape to create very thin stripes. We eyeballed the thin stripes and just ensured they were straight.

Great Room Updates - Phase 2

My hubby was checking out my new blog posts today and was shocked and appalled perturbed that I had not yet featured our fireplace wall and DIY curtains.  How dare I!  He did most of the wallpapering and helped with painting the curtains. He's my partner in crime.
