I've been busy updating the boys room little by little. The time has come to graduate from the nautical theme into a more mature design that reflects their love of sports {sniff}. I few weeks ago I shared the first two projects we tackled, The DIY Interchangeable Trophy Shelf and The Custom Sports Equipment Closet.
This week, I finished their new semi-custom drapes...
It's kind of funny referring to them as "semi-custom". That phrase makes them sound fancier than they are. This no-sew project took less than 2 hours to complete. The process is similar to my DIY Striped Drapes just a little quicker.
It's a perfect nap time project.
The total cost was $35. It would have been less if I was able to use their current navy drapes. After removing them I noticed they were faded and needed to be replaced.
Here is what they had before...

And now...
{After}
The addition of the stars completely changed the space.
The large graphic pattern had a huge impact on the tiny room.
After the drapes were up, I realized I no longer needed as many accessories as I originally thought. The new drapes and bold wall stripes brought enough visual interest and personality to the space.
Less clutter makes me a happy girl.
I'll be posting a step by step tutorial for this project on Monday.

If you would like to whip up a pair, here's what you will need to pick up this weekend...
one pair of dark canvas drapes ($17 Walmart), one large white tablecloth or canvas/twill fabric ($13 Target), two tubes of Liquid Stitch or StitchWitchery Fabric Bonding Tape (Walmart $3) and a Sharpie.
