New Curtains! Before and After

Here was my DIY project yesterday afternoon: New Curtains!

(please excuse the blue painters tape. It's only been up for 5 years. We'll paint that wood one of these days!)

(Nice shot of our new Durango too!)

BEFORE:

I made these curtains in 2008 so they have been up for a while. I was ready for a change. 

AFTER: 

 I love the fabric but HOLY COW I paid and arm and a leg for it even though it was 40% off at Joanns. 6.5 yards of anything isn't cheap, I guess. Plus I fully lined the curtains with 6.5 yards of muslin to protect from fading. 

I love how they look! They really add a new dimension to our dining room. 

Yay for DIY weekend projects!

(I must give a shout-out to my husband, Aaron, who against his will (his will was to nap) graciously moved the curtain rod and hung the curtains for me. Love you!)
