I thought I would join the Nester from http://nestingplacenc.blogspot.com/ who is doing a show-n-tell today of people's window mistreatments! Easy solutions for windows, not needing sewing or measurements, etc.
I used 1 curtain panel per window in my girls' bedroom to make these mistreatments.
Aren't they cute? And so easy! All I did was put the curtain panel on a rod from Target, gather the material up in folds, and safety pin the folds together in the back to make what looks like a gathered shade!
We tend to move often, and I didn't want to cut the fabric, so this seemed like an easy solution!
I have matching fabric and plan to make pillow shams and dust ruffles to match. Their room has a bit of a shabby chic feel. I'll take more pics after I finish & paint super pale pink!
Well, there you go! Easy-peasy, lemon-squeezey! (As my daughter's little friend would say!)
Hope you enjoyed this, and check out the Nester's other friends who joined in the show & tell!
Blessings,
Stacey
Looks fabulous. Actually it looks better than "real" ones because it doesn't sag!
ReplyDeleteIt's very cute! We have moved a ton as well so this is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! And what a great idea. This room reminds me of me and my sister's room when we were little girls. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet room! Thank goodness for safety pins!
ReplyDeleteOh, I am working on my two daughters' room as well. I meant to paint it a pale pink (it looked like it from the top of the Oops can), but came out a bit brighter. Oh well, we'll enjoy it for now and then repaint. Love their room...so precious!
ReplyDeleteSafety pins! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteCame over from Nester . . . That bedroom is absolutely gorgeous!! Thanks for the idea :-)
ReplyDeleteoh yeah looks grea, love the way they are high up and what a beautiful room for your girls

Your girls' room is absolutely gorgeous! It's truly an inspiration to me and I hope it is to your girls!
ReplyDeleteThis is GREAT! I have been wanting the same look but did not know how to go about making it....thank you
ReplyDeleteThat room is so beautiful and the window treatments are a perfect fit. I bet people sleep really peacefully in there!
ReplyDeleteThat room is adorable, Stacey! I LOVE twin beds, and especially THESE twin beds. And dont even get me started on that quilt on the wall.... OH MY!! :o)

ReplyDeleteWow that's beautiful! I love the matching beds with matching windows and matching mistreatments. So gorgeous and girly.
ReplyDeleteHow easy is that? Love it! Thanks for the idea:) I still have several rooms to go and could use all the inspiration I can get.
ReplyDeletevery nice. I only wish my girls bedroom was so tidy. My girls NEED 1001 dolls and stuffed animals on their beds so there is no tidy with that many NEEDED things on the beds.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! I love that you did this in your girls' room, and the gather just looks so feminine to me. Love it!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites! I plan on mistreating my bathroom windows, and this "party" couldn't have come soon enough for me! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThose are DARLING!
ReplyDeleteTotally fabu mistreatments!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful room, and I love the treatments.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I really like this. I was just commenting in my blog that I'm not too fond of the valance effect I've achieved with my mistreatments...but what you've done is so much better than a valance. I really really like this! Hmmmm...you have my mind spinning with possibilities now!
