My Newly Minted Curtains

Does anyone else suffer from decorating indecision?
I’m raising my hand high on this one, even waving it around a little.
Sometimes I have the hardest time finally deciding to take the plunge and actually commit when I am buying decorating items. I think the top three things I have the hardest time committing to in decorating is:
Rugs
Couches
Fabric
That is, until I was perusing minted and saw the watercolor blends by katherine roberts fabric, and I knew it was the perfect fit for curtains in my studio.

That is, until I was perusing minted and saw the watercolor blends by katherine roberts fabric, and I knew it was the perfect fit for curtains in my studio.
I loved the pattern and colors. It tied in navy, which I am trying to be the cohesive factor in my apartment decorating, while also bringing in the other blues in the room. Perfect-o! I couldn’t believe that it was that easy for me to pick – with no regrets. I guess there is magic in the air.
When the fabric arrived I immediately went to town sewing curtains using this method.
Although hanging this round was a little different. I didn’t have a double window curtain rod and wasn’t thrilled with hanging a curtain rod in the apartment. Plus, I knew I would never close the curtains with the items in front of it.
I used sarah m. dorsey’s method of clear command hooks (affiliate link) to hang the curtains. An $8 solution and easy to remove!
It’s as easy as that.
Now, how dramatic a difference do those curtains make in that room?!
I can’t tell you how often I just go stare at them in my studio. I find myself just hanging out in there more too, because it is so pretty. Also, don’t you think curtains just finish a room?
Now it’s time to start thinking about curtains (and a new duvet and artwork) for the bedroom to make that space look as pretty too!!
One final look at those little pretties!!
Enjoyed the project?

Great job! I love that fabric and love your room. Reminds me of my combination dining-office-sewing-craft room -- full of bookshelves and things I like on them and on the walls.. like a flock of butterflies and shadow boxes of ribbons I've won for sewing projects -- the oldest dating back to 1959 when I was in high school. I'm not trendy, just happy in that room.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
What are command hooks?
Great job...I love Command! But, I'd like to know where you got your round mirror with the little "burst" mirrors attached?
How did you actually hang the curtains on the hooks?
