I kept the existing hardware and just brightened it up a bit with some gold acrylic paint.
I folded the bottoms of the panels in 1″ and ironed, then the tops got folded in 3″ and ironed.Both the bottom hem and the top were sewn in place as well.. And guess what?
You really can get a lot fancier with your hems if you want to get a more finished edge.You can fold them in twice to hide the fraying fabric pretty easily and iron then sew that.The thing is though, you really don’t have to, and today is all about making this as simple and do-able as possible.
The real key is picking a really beautiful fabric that you love, and whether you go fancy with your sewing or extremely basic, you will absolutely love the end result!.Measuring your own fabric is great because you can control exactly how they fall and get them to just slightly pool or graze the floor, depending on your mood..
I love this fabric next to our new floors and those big fat baseboards.
Melts my heart every time!.Anyway.. We also have a living room in this house!
It started out looking like this when we moved in:.And here’s how it looks now!.
You can read all about the full living room before and after.I love sharing really simple before and after projects like these that are done in the middle of real-life situations and with a real budget.
