Toile La La La!

I honestly cannot believe what I did this weekend.

I made curtains.

The kind with lining.

And toile.

And a sewing machine.

Are you as shocked as I am?

Let me show you! Here is the "before" photo of our bedroom:

Like so many other girls I know in the blogging world, I love designer Heather Chadduck's style. She used to work for Cottage Living magazine, I think, before it went under. I came across this photo of a bedroom she designed. How great are those curtains? Really, how great is every single thing in this room? I am a total copycat.

This is not the place to give a tutorial on how I made my curtains, because, let's face it, I don't know what I'm doing. But I kept repeating The Nester's motto: It Doesn't Have To Be Perfect To Be Beautiful! Amen sister.

Seriously though, don't you love how the curtains just transform the whole room? It feels so much warmer in there!

I am so in love with how they turned out! The fabric is from Calico Corners in case you're on the hunt for some yourself.

I think I might spend the whole day in bed.
