Updated curtains

I jumped on my desire to do some space updating. My first move was curtains. 

As you can see, what was originally up was super light and airy.

If I lived on my own I would leave it just like this. 

But I want our space to represent the man who lives here too. 

So I headed to the store with a budget of $20 to dress three windows. 

After looking through everything in the curtain aisle, of course I found tons that I loved. 

But non of the options fit my budget. Then idea!: How about twin size, flat bed sheets?

We had a winner and for $5 each, it couldn't be beat. 

Curtains: $15

I got what I came for and headed home. 

I cut each sheet in half with pinking shears.

This will keep the fabric from fraying until I get around to hemming them.

I threw those sheets in the dryer with a wet cloth so they could be steamed to smoothness.

While those smoothed out, I installed the BASIC rods I bought for $1.50 each.

Rods: $5

All finished!

I left the airy curtains up and used the navy curtains to frame each window.

This room is beginning to man up.
