Funky creation alert ~ 10 minute dreamy curtains

I have these two very long and narrow windows that are on either side of an armoire in my kitchen office area. While I love the light the windows offer, they weren't very attractive as is. Time to create something unique!



Take an old heritage wooden hanger...



... add a few woodsy clothespins...



... add a white queen sized sheet... see where this is going?

Tips:
- after washing, leave the sheet sitting in the dryer on purpose for a few days for some timeless crinkles
- choose a poly cotton blend for a nice drape



... adjust height to your liking, allowing a small puddle on the floor...



... enhance your dreamy setting with a glaze enhanced chair... (I know, I know, tutorial coming soon!)



... surround your little area with quaint natural textures...






... and you have yourself a pretty little setting that offers some softness to an otherwise curtainless area. And an extra seat to boot!



Here is the other side not quite ready for it's final reveal. But it is equally unique... coming soon!

What do you think? Is this one too off the wall funky for my Christmas show? I'd like to be seen as creative, not weird. :)

Hmmm. my wheels are turning again. Should we have a  Sat Nite Special window treatment themed party this upcoming weekend?!?  Please cast your vote on this weekend's theme in the pole widget, top right!

Voting ends Tuesday midnight so vote quickly!
