The reason why is because I didn't love the curtain wall with the carpet. I knew I WOULD love it after the floors went in, so I wanted to wait to share it with you then!
I spent a lot of time searching pinterest for curtain walls.

I purchased 6 of the LENDA panels.
They come with tabs at the top, but I decided to fold back the tabs, and use iron on stitching to adhere them down.
This gave the curtains a pinch pleat look, without the cost.
The great thing about IKEA curtains is that they're not hemmed at the bottom and they come in a few different lengths. I decided to leave them unhemmed and let them pool at the bottom.
This whole project, including the hardware from IKEA, cost me under $75. I think it had a huge impact for not a lot of money. It was definitely cheaper than even making my own curtains. I love when projects turn out that way!
Love how this turned out! This would be a perfect solution for us if we ever wanted to move our bed to our wall of windows!
ReplyDeleteLove the look! We'll actually be doing the same thing for a Guestroom we're making over - it will disguise an off centered window. Your room looks great!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! You have great vision. I am loving your hardwood floors and how it makes everything in your room pop. I spy a little nightstand makeover. Can't wait to see it up close.
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful! I have been debating on doing the same thing in the guest room. There is a window on each side of the bed (similar to yours). I really like the way your turned out. Your new flooring is beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteSo smart. That looks wonderful! I host a DIY link party every Monday and would love for you to join! http://homecomingmn.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-diyers-link-party.html
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! This has been on my list for our master bedroom too. Well, for a few years now...it's the space that always gets last priority. lol Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Doing the same thing in our master bedroom. Trying to figure out how many curtains I'll need for our wall. What hardware/rods did you purchase from Ikea? Thanks!
