Gifts for my mama



I've been wanting to make some new drapes and pillows for my mom's living room. I didn't ask for colors or ideas, just my mom's trust! And I went with it.  

A little before shot of the old curtains (I forgot to take one of the whole living room, dang it!). The pillows also coordinated with the curtains.


And after: 



The new curtains really lightened up the space and made it feel fresh.
 I probably said "This looks so great!" about 50 times. Luckily my mom agrees. 


I got the idea for the curtains from these beautiful Anthropologie ones. I wasn't about to pay $168 per panel though, so I made my own version.
A $500 look for under $50 (thanks to my coupons from Jo-Ann's)! Can I get a what-what?



Close-up shot of the new pillows:
(there is also a solid-colored pillow under construction-didn't quite make the deadline) 





Thanks mom for letting me test out my ideas on your living room!
