This wall of a door and windows leads out to their backyard. Here is what it looks like today...
Completely different. Minimal money. Seriously. I started by removing the window panels, bamboo shades, and the wooden grid on the door and windows. I primed and painted the walls and doors. I kept the same curtain rod (really I would have liked to used a longer one, but sometimes you need to use what you've got), sprayed painted it black and gave it a RAISE! If you are hanging panels, raise the rod!! We discussed using the old panels and sewing fabric to the bottom to lengthen them, but ended up purchasing two drop cloths instead (I love those things) and hanging them. Total cost for the paint and panels was about $50.
She went from being scared of going too neutral to loving the new look! The black door keeps the color pallet neutral but adds enough contrast to make her happy. Happy Shan = Happy Rach!!

I love these curtains and think I want to copy. Did you hem them, or did you leave the drop cloth hemmed as is?
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah! I always use the original hem on the drop cloths. This is the 3rd room I've used them in and the 6x9 size is the prefect length for a small puddle on the floor :)
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. Great job! I'm inspired to remove the panels on my door now. Thanks!
