Nursery Curtains

I feel so productive and proud of myself today!  I made curtains for the baby's room!

Honestly, it was a really easy project.  I got two twin-sized flat sheets (I could have gone bigger, but I went the cheap route) from Wal Mart ($4.97 each), ironed them, unpicked the side of the large hem just at the top so I could put the curtain rod through, hemmed up the bottom 12 inches, and viola!  Instant curtains!  They're super cute, too!  Polka dots!!  Have I ever told you how much I LOVE polka dots?

Don't make fun of me for getting them at Wal Mart.  I looked EVERYWHERE, and that was the cheapest route, and the fabric is super cute!  Why is it so hard to find inexpensive pink-ish sheets?  Most cheap colors are white, cream, grey, blue, and green.  Sometimes a red will be thrown in there as well, but hardly ever any pink.  Okay, venting done.

I've been thinking about changing the curtains for the nursery for a long time.  The others were pretty, but they didn't really say "nursery" to me.  I think I'll put them in my bedroom.  They'll look nice in there.

So, here are some pictures of the cute little things:

Polka dot fabric.  So cute!

Oh, I almost forgot!  Each sheet came inside a matching fabric bag that closes with a snap.  Bonus!!

So, with nursery preparations, we have the ceiling fan fixed and curtains.  We still need to kick out the computer desk, rearrange furniture, and put up the crib.  I also might get some cute decorations.  We'll see...
