We are currently renting a duplex and I am not in love with the style. I called my sister-in-law who is an Interior Designer and asked her what I could do. She told me that curtains can totally change a room and she was right! I wish I had a picture of the old curtains. These were so easy and I love them! I made a pattern out of paper which was 42" x 14". I made 4" x 10" straps to sew on the top. Then I just sewed it all together. My next step is to buy a new curtain rod.
