As I was working on the fun little details of putting Hazel’s big girl room together, I realized some new curtains might be in order. I happened to have a spare, plain white, sheer-ish pair on hand, but they just weren’t very interesting. They would work, they just needed to be dolled up a little!
I found this pretty pom-pom trim on Etsy, so I ordered four yards and waited at my mailbox for it to arrive!
After that it was just as simple as a bit of matching thread and one long stitch down the inside edge of each panel.
Voila! Pretty, girly curtains that work in the room and were simple as pie to make!
Don’t mind the two-year-old who is somersaulting in her bed while Mama takes pictures of her special pom-pom curtains (I think she was enjoying the delayed nap time…).
Don’t be afraid of putting special little touches in a room. They don’t have to cost a lot of money or take a ton of time or skill! If you don’t have a sewing machine, you could hand stitch or even use fabric glue! Get creative and have fun!
Happy Monday, loves!
Very cute and simple! BTW, I love the idea of the two shelves by her bed. Are they just white shelves or do they have a lip on them and where did you get them from?
Thanks, Amy! The shelves are specifically for books and they’re from Land of Nod. (here’s a link: http://www.landofnod.com/kids-wall-storage/kids-storage-and-shelving/straight-and-narrow-book-ledge/f7884)
I think they’re still doing 15% off + free shipping today ;)
Love. simple and perfect!
Love these SO much. They are super pretty. I want some. :-)

I love them. So dainty and pretty.
You are so creative !
I did something similar with my daughter’s room but across the top. I also had pink, orange & white striped fabric left over & made cushion covers that I trimmed with the pompom trim. It really tied the whole room together.
Lovely!!!
Love!
Thanks for the info Raechel!
i’ve said it before and i’ll say it till the cows come home: you are brilliant, my girl.
love it! and yes, to putting special touches on rooms. I’m turning more & more to my sewing machine these days & have less & less intimidation for trying new things. The best part? It’s noticeable in our home!
Raechel – the look so great and custom! hazel’s room looks like a lovely place to grow up!
Those are beautiful!! I have no clue how to sew, but I hear there are things to help with that. :)
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is needed to get setup? I’m assuming having
a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% sure.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Can you tell me where you got the wallpaper?
it’s a stencil I painted :)
