Fabric Fun


 I've been hating the curtains that came with our apartment since the day we moved in. Ugly. Beige pleated canvas against a white wall *shudder*. Pinterest came to the rescue once I saw 365 Days to Simplicity no sew Roman shades. Hello beautiful. Of course our windows are juuuust wide enough that fabric won't quite stretch, so we put some ribbon on the edges with iron on adhesive. We followed the directions from the link using hot glue to attach the blinds on the the fabric.









































In the last picture you can see the storage ottoman that we reupholstered the top of. The pleather had melted from Speedy's tank. We just took the top off by unscrewing the hinges and wrapped it like a present. Stapled with a staple gun and we have a whole new ottoman!
