Okay, so here are some pics of the curtains I made. The bedroom ones were made from plaid flannel top sheets and so easy to make, but I do need to sew them properly with my newly acquired sewing machine since these were a quick throw together and hand sewn and safety pinned, lol. The sheer cheese cloth panel is in the middle. The panels for y kitchen curtains aren't hanging quite as I would like so I need to do some tweaking, but they do the trick! And the black shelf is one of the shelves that got on the weekend. It was a light oak color so I painted it and sanded it and I think it turned out quite well. I'm starting to get the hang of these things :)
