New Curtains
I’ve been dreaming of new curtains for a very, very long time. The other curtains we had (which I made myself) were in our bedroom for over 12 years. They were never really my style, but they were what I had, so I “made do.”
This past Christmas, my parents and my in-laws made my new curtain dreams come true. I’m so thankful! I chose the Ikea Lenda curtains in the light beige color, which resembles linen. And the lace panels are the Ikea Alvine Spets. I really love them!
Even though I got the shortest length (98″), they were still too long. So, I had to hem them. I decided it would just be easiest to hem them while they were already hanging on the windows.
I just set up my ironing board and sewing machine beside the window. It was kind of clumsy, but it worked well enough.
After I got them hung, my girls said it reminded them of a scene from Road to Avonlea. Just the look I was going for, in a bit more modern style (more neutral, without all the floral).
I’m so thankful for such a generous and loving family. ♥
Very beautiful and feminine. I also have several sets of IKEA panels in our home. They are so affordable!
Thanks, Amber! Yes, I love how affordable they are compared to most others. I originally thought of making my own linen curtains, but that would have cost way too much. I like that these look like linen without the expense.
They are beautiful! You chose well Joy! 🙂
Thank you, JES! I had been dreaming of these so long that I knew what I was hoping for! 🙂
