Curtains: Do you have some great window treatments? Want to give them a different look or feel? Do you have valances (or scarves) or possibly no valances at all? A great way to give your window treatments a new spin is to either ad a valance (if you do not have them) or switch them out. I have found JCPenney to be great help in this matter. They have boxes and boxes heaped with clearance item valances, scarves and curtains! All of these items are at a deeply discounted rate!! So scour those clearance bins ladies!! Recession or not its always in style to save some $$
I have beautiful light gold curtains in my bedroom. I wanted to brighten the room and bring in some shades of blue (my favorite color) to tie in my other accessories. A great tip on finding a color theme is to look at your wall décor, accessories or floor coverings. My inspiration was these two paintings that are on my bedroom wall:
Cliff Walk at Pourville Painted by Monet
Banks of Seine at Argenteuil Painted by Edouard ManetI purchased the window valances in my room (all six) from JCPenney for only $40.00!! They were perfect light silvery blue damask with gold accents, tassels at the tip of each handkerchief hem just stunning! Regularly $50.00 each piece!! That is a total savings of $260.00. You can also check out their online outlet for great deals. Just make sure to measure accurately. There are tips on the JCPenney site on how to measure to get the right look.
Please excuse the bad lighting!So get your home in shape. Start with one room at a time and create a space that you truly LOVE!! Check back soon for more ways to redecorate on the cheap.
I wish you all a fantastic weekend!! Remember to stay crafty and creative!

Wow those are perfect. It is so nice to get a bit of a spruce up in the bedroom! It seems like that is the room that gets neglected the most. Good Job!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment Nora! I agree the bedroom does get neglected most of the time.. when other rooms take priority. I hope you have a super blessed weekend!!! XXOO ~Vanessa :)
ReplyDeleteGreat tips! You did a lovely job matching the window treatments to the beautiful Monet art. I don't have curtains in my home. I may have to go to JCPenny and rethink that!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip!

ReplyDeleteVanessa , you are not going to believe this but I have the SAME curtains in my bedroom, same olive color & all. I must take a picture to show you. How fun!
ReplyDeleteLove the ideas. I myself am trying to cuten up our house on an extremely low budget.
ReplyDeleteI really am not someone that sews but I loved making my own curtains. I had way more fabric and style choices. I love the way curtains can change the whole look of a room.
ReplyDeleteHey Melissa. Thanks so much for your comment. I have never sewn a day in my life ha ha. Well I hahve sewn a few buttons etc. but nothing major. I wish I knew how! I can imagine sewing your own curtains would be wonderful as fabric stores always have such a great selection! I appreciate your stopping by!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping in Grace! I know how having a super small budget is. The money I spent on the curtains was b-day money ha ha.... but well worth it. I hope you have a great week!
