Curtain for Curtain


I finally found time {and a babysitter...thanks Kel} to take a trip to Ikea. It is over two hours away so I had to be sure of my wish list and measurements! I made out with a lot of great items for the new home...mostly storage for my craft space!

In addition to furniture, I found some fun things to make the kids' bathroom more FUN! They used to share a bathroom with our guests and so it was always very 'adult' decor. I found towels for $5 each and a fun, soft bath rug. I also loved the Barnslig Randig window curtains in the Ikea showroom. I was drawn to the primary colors and gender neutrality since Mr and Miss share the space.

Once home, I got to work transforming the window panels into a festive shower curtain. I sewed the two panels together {thank goodness the design pattern matched up!} and then made 12 evenly spaced buttonholes at the top hem of the curtain. I finished out the buttonholes by cutting slits and adding anti-fray solution for durability.


It was so easy and looks amazing! I love the colors and the simple, yet fun design. Mr E and Miss C are excited to enjoy it as well! I am hoping to have more new home reveals coming up soon!
