Symone's room - Part I: No Sew Treatments

I know I was supposed to be working on my home office this weekend, but...

Okay, I've been promising Symone I'd fix up her room. This is the first in a series fixing up Symone's room.

No Sew Window Treatments:

Step 1: I started w/ tab top turquoise panels I bought from Wally World for my office.

They are too bold and since Symone said I was not "sharing the turquoise", I decided to put in her room.

Step 2 & 3 : Since the panels were too short, I hot glued a purple cotton fabric remnant to the bottom OVER the tab since I'm not very fond of tab tops.

Step 3 (above pic): Then I hot glued some heart ribbon trim that they didn't even charge me for at Hancock since it was just thrown in the clearance bin. JACKPOT!

Final Look:

They'll be really cute when I iron them LOL

I used some silver upholstery tacks to put the panels up with an inverted pleat in the middle.

Here's the look I'm going for from The Nester...still looking for fabric to put on the top.

Looking forward to finishing my baby's room...eventually :)

It's Ready!!! My Couch, that is...

The upholstery company called and said my couch was ready and we need to schedule delivery. I snuck over there at lunch and took some pics.

Here's the original post for background.

$75 couch

Here's where I selected fabrics for my living room. Remember, I got the sofa fabric from fabric.com for $3.99/yd (it is a neutral mini-chenille).

And, now, without further a do...

I'm on my way to something like this.

What do you think?

They're Here!!!

My curtains from Horchow (in Antique Gold) came today!

Here they are with the fabric swatches on top...LOVES! So fab and luxurious...
BUT, Annette has me thinking about whether they are too formal for family room.



Where will they end up? Stay tuned...

Commitment - I, LaTasha, Take Thee...

...swatches (laid out neatly on Annette's desk at work - LOL), to makeover my family room (and dining). (click image to see tags)

Annette, tapping into her inner pychiatrist, has helped me realize that I have home improvement commitment issues.

The reason you don't see posts and completed projects is not because I'm not doing anything or don't have endless things I WANT to do...I just can't COMMIT.

As of tomorrow when I take the fabric to shop referred by GetItGirl to upholster the couch, I commit to the following for my family room.
