Super Easy No Sew Dropcloth Curtains

These are the easiest curtains you will ever "make"!

I just used two clean, new dropcloths,

turned down the top about 2 feet,

 and clipped them on to the rings already on the rod,
making sure the "ruffle" was in the front and looked even.

 No sewing or even ironing needed.

They fall beautifully and look great with my
dropcloth-slipcovered chairs!

Family Room Reveal: Before and After

I was perfectly happy with my family room.

I loved the red check curtains,
the cottag-y slipcovers, and my dad's pine trunk.

I loved it even more when I got a new grey couch!
And it looked great with everything that was already in the room.
No need to change anything!

But one day, just for fun, I hung up some grey fabric
to see what it would look like instead of the red checks.

Then I just happened to find this great rug when
I was shopping on vacation.
I wasn't looking for it, it was just there!

Well, one thing always leads to something else,
so I made new slipcovers in a navy ticking
and new pillows to keep a pop of red.
(Plus, I wanted to keep the little red dresser in the corner)


I also brought in an old over-stuffed chair and painted it grey,


traded the heavy, dark trunk for an airy, white table,


and made new pillows for the couch,
including some red-checked ones!
