C'mon Over!

I finally finished the curtains in my spare room. It's seems kind of goofy to have half of the room all modern shelving from Ikea and the other half old stuff with a country look but it's just a spare room right? No sense in going to Pottery Barn and spending a small fortune on furnishings. Like I can afford PB! Good thing they give the catalog away for free or I couldn't afford that either!!!
So here's the front window.

I kinda sorta hate mini blinds but my rooms face the street and I have to have some privacy for those late nights sewing and playing with stamps. They're cheap and they work. What can I say?
I found some buttons in my sewing box to make fabric covered buttons. So I put some of the check fabric on them for a decorative touch. Look at me trying to be Martha Stewart!! lol

And this is the room all done. :o) It's so small I can't get far enough away to get a picture.

I still haven't found a place for all the stuff that I took out of this room and that I don't want back in this room. I think I'll be making a donation to my local charity this week (because all the leftover stuff is in the game room and that room is practically sacred!!) hehe
So, c'mon over!!! :o)
