I should get a gold star for FINALLY finishing the easy curtains for my dining room. Seriously it took me like 15 minutes plus the 4 months of them sitting on my sewing room table. I had some Amy Butler Love curtains in here but our living room, dining room and kitchen are like one giant room and it was just too much print for that space. So I've been trying to neutralize it. My sons told me to stop saying "neutralize" whenever I talk about decorating this space because it sounds like a term you would use in a violent video game.
I bought the curtains from IKEA. They are the Vivan curtains and were only $15. I cut off the little pocket part without measuring how high my rod was hung so they were like 1/2 inch too short and I couldn't think of an easy solution and didn't want flood curtains. Then I saw THIS POST at the Inspired room and it was the perfect solution. Just a tiny bit of fabric sewn onto the bottom like I was binding a quilt and problem solved. PLUS now the bottom of the curtain won't look icky fast rubbing on the dining room floor. The fabric is Amy Butler Love that coordinates the Dining room chair pads that I just recovered.
