Striped Curtains.

In a holiday prep post, I mentioned that one thing on our to-do list was to make some new curtains for our living/dining room and for our main/guest bath.  I know it’s a little crazy to add such a project into the mix because taking care of all-things-Christmas leaves us busy enough...but I had my momma visiting, so it only made sense to tackle a sewing project.  {She’s the best.}

We started with the long panels for our living/dining room. 

Just like when we made these curtains...we cut our fabric, pinned the seams and fed it through the machine.  This fabric gave us a little bit of an issue until my mom figured out the right settings to use.  Shockingly, it was thicker and tougher to go through then the heavy houndstooth stuff I found for our winter runners.

After a lot of hard work, it was time to hang ‘em up and check ‘em out.  {Please forgive my lack of photography skills...I simply use my iPhone and CANNOT, I repeat CANNOT, shoot towards a window when the sun is out.}

I love how the dark stripes make a statement in the room.  I wasn’t feeling the spring-ish pattern that we had up during the winter months, so this was just the change I was looking for!  I’ll have to show you guys how the curtains look without our Christmas décor up...but I have not yet put our house back together after taking all our Christmas stuff down on Sunday.  Poor hubby ended up getting the flu/stomach bug this past week...so decorating and blogging has taken a backseat {as my Insta-friends can vouch for...I mean, our new rugs have even arrived, and I have yet to bring them up from the garage because hubby is priority #1}.

So what do you guys think of switching out curtains based on seasons?  I know I’m kind of a freak for doing it, but I couldn’t help it.  I love to switch things up!! :)  And for anyone else out there battling this horrendous cold/flu season...I FEEL FOR YOU, get better ASAP!! ;)
