New Curtains

We live in an apartment complex where our front windows face the pool/courtyard area, as well as other apartments' windows. Needless to say, I have never actually raised the blinds. Don't get me wrong, I do like the sun, but I also like my privacy and to feel comfortable in my home. I'd like to eventually have curtains in each room, and since I'll have family staying with us later this month, I decided to start with the front room...because that will be their bedroom. You're welcome mom.

I followed this tutorial from "View Along the Way" to make blackout curtains. I would have made them longer if it weren't for the AC unit getting in the way, but I'm happy with the added color to our white walls.

Aghhhh, the sun!

Special thanks to thank Jared for helping me pick out the fabric, paying for it, and hanging up the finished curtains.
