My plain old window was calling me this weekend...I had plans to do this sort of treatment for awhile, so it was time to get down to business!!!! 4 yards of fabric at $3.50 a yard and 5 yards of shirring tape at $1.00 a yard, about 1 1/2 hours total, and we have a fancy schmancy new look in our living room! Yes, that is alot of brown on the couch, I haven't picked out a coloured accent yet...That couch will probably go downstairs in the playroom once the vintage 1960's couch is re-upholstered. It's all one big work in progress...LOL After!
I have happy news this week though, I have a job! Yay! Not in nursing, but at this really cool outdoor education lodge nearby-I'm really excited to start! I'm glad I have a varied resume behind me, you never know what you're going to need to pull out of the bag as a mountie wife in a new town...LOL!

The china cabinet is still in two pieces, but tonight the poly went on, so hopefully tomorrow night the hutch will go back up and I'll start working on that. I'm going to lift it up with some blocks and put a drop cloth underneath it to paint it. I've had to fill in and make way too many repairs with the pieces on the floor, little fingerprints and scratches everywhere! Grr. The new appliques from DIY Chic are on and new glass knobs are next. I filled in the holes from the old handles and can't wait to show you the new glass diamond shaped knobs...Yum! There will be two knobs on the drawers, on either side of the appliques.

I am quite jealous of your window treatment. Can it be made with duct tape or staples? I can't sew worth beans. Can't wait to see the china cabinet! I've got a small dresser I want to add those appliques to just like you did. It was nice to get an idea of how they'll look. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. Hope you'll come back soon!
