Living Room Curtains for our Quarters in Germany

Hello Everyone,

I completed the curtains for our living room.

I bought the fabric online at Joann and the fabric is called Waverly Modern Tilt and Twirl Cypress.

Our beautiful Holly wanted to be in the shot

I  love how they came out. They warm up our living room and they make it feel cozy. I will be making matching pillows for the sofa this week.

Curtains are Done!!

Hello Everyone,

The curtains are done!! I want to thank everyone for their input on what I should do about the dilemma I was having. I talked about it in this post I did the other day. E and I went to get more curtain clips that fit into the track that is in our quarters. He put 25 clips on each panel to hold the weight of the fabric and the liner. I ordered the fabric "Tropix Wexford Fresco Goldenrod" and I used Roc-Lon Budget Blackout Fabric both  ordered from Joann's.

I followed the instructions to the tutorial at House of Hepworths.

Here is the before:

Here is the after:

I love how they look during the day. It picks up the yellow in the placemats too. They are so bright and cheery as soon as you walk into the room

At night, they warm the room up and make it feel cozy and inviting.

E took this picture as soon as we hung them up. He loves them!!

I love how these curtains came out. It brightens and warms up the room at the same time. The left panel is pushed over a little because of the counter, but, once I bring these back to our forever home it will be perfect.

Have a great weekend!! Happy Labor Day!!

I'm Making Curtains

Hello Everyone,

This weekend I made curtains for our dining room. I have been wanting to make curtains for our quarters ever since we moved here in April. Well, after finally picking out the fabric online, ordering it and then waiting for it to be delivered from the States to Germany takes a "little bit of time."

Here is the fabric I selected for the dining room. I ordered it from Joann's and it is called "Tropix Wexford Fresco Goldenrod." I love how bright and cheery it is. We are not  painting our quarters, so I am using fabric to pop color into every room.

 

We have an open floor plan and I ordered extra fabric to tie in the living room,  but, I didn't order the correct amount. So, I will be placing another order for fabric for curtains for the living room. I also lined them with Roc-Lon Budget Blackout Fabric that I order also from Joann's.

These are the windows they were supposed to be on:

The reason these are not hanging up right now is because in our quarters we are not allowed to have curtain rods. The curtains I made has a 3" rod pocket, because these will be used when we move back to our forever home after our assignment here is complete. The system installed and used in these quarters has these plastic clips that are on a track. Well, the curtains are too heavy (especially with the liner).

I am heading out tomorrow to go look for metal clips that will be strong enough to hold the curtains up and that will slide into the track. Wish me luck!!

Stay tuned!!
