~I Love blogging and getting to meet new friends like Mandy!! Isn't she the best!

Today I have the EASIEST window treatment ever created....well don't quote me on that but its up there on the super easy scale!


The Before and After:



Before:


{Desperate need of an update right!


After:


{I just adore the stripes! But the hubby on the other hand thought they looked like something that belonged in a pirate ship...? Compliment....I think not ;).}


Want to make some of your own?


Here is what you need:

~I used a duvet cover I bought at Ikea! I bought a full/queen but could have mos def gone with a twin!



~Seam Ripper
~Sewing Machine
~Measuring Tape
~Scissors

How it's done:

1. Remove duvet from plastic and measure both your window and your duvet cover.



2. Seam rip the seams throughout the duvet creating 2 separate panels.


3. Cut your newly made panels to the size determined in the previous step.


4. Sew up your raw edges and a loop for the rod of your curtain to slip through.


5. Slip your newly made curtain panels onto your rod to your liking.


6. Enjoy!

These really have been the easiest project I have done in a while! They took like no time at all and make such an impact on the room!


I also love how they added another print or pattern to the room, adding multiple patterns to a room creates visual interest and adds personality. For sure try it out!
