|One Room Challenge| Peach Curtains

**affiliates present**

This week I didn’t accomplish as much as I had hoped for the One Room Challenge but I did take a few steps forward by DIY’ing my own peach curtains! (if you are just jumping in, you can catch up here).

Peach was not an obvious first choice for me and I had actually thought about forgoing curtains altogether because there is such a lack of sunlight in there already, but I was also concerned that the room needed some warmth.   The peach is a brave choice for me and I was frankly not sure if I would like it until I had it up there- it was also a chore to find a light peach fabric! I wanted a velvet but that was no where to be found and don’t think I didn’t just try to buy some but all of the ones I found were darker than I wanted.

Hobby Lobby was finally the winner with a pale peach cotton and then just to satisfy my velvet need, a peach velvet ribbon that I could trim it out with!  Let’s get the tutorial out of the way real quick… my sewing machine broke.  I simply used my iron and Stitch Witchery to get the job done! Measured- cut- ironed- ironed down 1 inch edges- placed Stitch Witchery in-between the fabric- ironed again- and done! Then I hot glued the ribbon down the edge.  Seriously… not a seamstress. Shout out to all of you who are.

And even lazier? I didn’t hem the long sides because I liked the texture that the fringe added… Bob Ross would call that a happy little accident! Oh and you are going to see a sneak peak of the dining room head chairs I found at Tuesday Morning- also not what I thought I wanted but love!

It’s hard to share pictures when the rest of the room is still in chaos but you can also see that I hung some of my paint by numbers art.

It’s coming together but it’s also push time! New lighting should arrive the beginning of next week so hopefully I can get it up to post about it before next week.  Here are links to the first 3 weeks of projects and don’t forget to jump over to see my DIY floor mirror in the Master Bedroom!
