my living room curtains

I get a lot of questions from people asking where I purchased my living room and kitchen curtains. I can’t help but chuckle because of the answer.
Maybe the reason they look a little fancier is due to how I have them clipped. I folded over the top hem of the sheet and created a couple of pleats every few inches with my fingers. I held the pleats in place with a clip ring from the backside. Pretty darn simple.
I don’t pull these curtains shut (we use the blinds for privacy) so if you do, you might want to run a needle and thread through the pleat to hold it in place and even stitch it onto the ring for added security.
The first time I moved out of my parent’s house I used black sheets as curtains in the place I was renting. 14 years later and not much has changed 😀

entry idea
The other day I was reading Holly Mathis’ blog and came across this image of an entry in a home she had just completed. I love the casual style. It gave me an idea for our entry, which I’ve been struggling with. The entry in this house is really long. There’s a longer wall that continues on…
tv gallery wall | before
It’s a late post today. A stomach bug hit Izzy and Sam yesterday. Awesome. Just awesome. Today we’re talking about the TV wall in our living room. It’s a good thing I took this picture before Vomit-geddon hit. The couch slipcover and rug got it the worst. The couch is good to go though – thank God…
Izzy’s bedroom
Izzy’s room has been “done” (done as in I’m not actively thinking about what to do next) for a while. She was with me the other day as I was adding images to the Home Tour page when she asked, “Sam has pictures of his room up? Why aren’t there any of mine?!!” Well dear,…
chandelier problems
The first of this month I mentioned we were having a new chandelier put up in our entry. I was BEYOND excited over here. You may have even seen the progress shots in my Instagram story last week. Old chandelier came down, new one went up and I feel in love. Isn’t she pretty?! I…
getting back to it slowly
I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and New Years! It has been so hard to get back into a rhythm again! I pulled a great one on Monday. Got Izzy ready for school and then went to pick up her buddy for carpool. No buddy. Turns out no school. Felt like an idiot….
living room paint
Ok, things finally calmed down enough this weekend for me to get a photo taken of the living room with it’s new paint. The painting wheels stated rolling when I was going through my Living Room Pinterest board and realized that almost every photo I have saved included rooms with either white or soft gray walls. So I…

Newestlove it! what a great idea and clearly a crowd pleaser! 🙂
It's funny the things that end up being popular. It's always the things I least expect!
Clever girl:)
Don't tell my grandmother, she would roll over in her grave 😀
Such a nice look for a great price! You can't beat that.

Thanks, Shelley! I love it when a cheap plan works out 🙂
It's like you've come full circle with using sheets as curtains 😉 This is so clever! No sew pinch pleats?! Pinch me.
Man I adore those wood beams you have.
Décor your room by modern window curtains.
This is such a simple and easy thing to do. I especially like the clip idea as well as leaving the curtains not so stretched out and left only as an accent. My living room is kinda dark and drab, basically man-cavish. I'll through in some white sheets and let the light in. Nice work.

Thank you so much, Kellie! These rods were from Target, and I had to combine one and a half sets to get the extra long length (3 poles total). I have since changed it out for the longer rods at IKEA. Hope this helps!
