Covering the backing first with a bold fabric helps to fill in the blank spots and really make for an eye-catching display.
Did I tell you I found the paint in my basement?.It’s going to be stunning about 10 15-minute installments from now..
I feel like I should tell you that I can’t wait to show you the big reveal, but the truth is I can wait.I’m loving this!Well, yes, actually I am.I’m sure that I like all these cafe curtains that I’ve been seeing around.
I’m sure that I like the idea behind mine and I think it was fun to totally cheat my way through making them.. I’m not sure that I like these particular ones in this particular front hall application, though..I started with one of my Walmart flour sack dish towels, and drew a really simple window pane plaid on it in Sharpie.. Then I cut it to size and hot glued the top to make room for the “curtain rod”….
…Which was actually a bamboo garden stake that I grabbed out of the mud room.
I hot glued the whole mess up on the window frame just to see how it would look.Some traditions, like bundling up to go skating (or just sliding around) on the creek, or taking pictures in Santa hats are just so much better for everyone now that we’ve got Jack around to make us all laugh.
But some things, like decorating the perfect tree or doing most Christmas crafts, are pretty darn near impossible.All parents of toddlers are nodding their heads right now.
We’ve never really gone out driving around to look at Christmas lights, but last year it seemed like the perfect activity one boring Friday night, mostly because little baby Jack could sleep in his car seat the whole time and we could all relax.It turned out to be really fun for everyone with Christmas music on the radio and drive-thru hot chocolates.
