Drop Cloth Drapes

See these drapes from Pottery Barn:


They are 96' long. They are linen. They are pretty. And they are expensive.

But you can by canvas drop clothes at any home improvement store and make your own for about $10 a panel.

Like these from Bienvenue:


They come already hemmed like Layla's:


And you can even add some fancy trim like Hayley:

Pretty nice looking for pretty darn cheap. You might want to check out different places because the color of the linens are different. So buy a couple, find the ones you like the best, and return the others. Or use them as a drop cloth.

What a great idea. I don't have long enough windows or big enough rooms for these, but if I did...

I am forever looking for creative/cheaper ways to decorate. I will defiantly keep this in mind.

Might also be able to dye these to the color of your choice!

These are the kind of ideas that make me LOVE BLOGGING and my brilliant blogging friends! I have a huge window in my dining room that needs curtains. Thanks, once again!

What a great idea...I love those curtains so much... That would be so nice to die them also...Althought the colors are amazing without being died..
