Shabby Chic Nursery Curtains

Baby girl's room is practically finished, and I can't wait to do a post on the entire room.  But I think a few of the items still deserve their own post and shining moment.  The next item up is her shabby chic curtains!  I ordered extra fabric for the curtains when I ordered the floral fitted sheets for her crib.

 
I love how soft and sweet they look.  They help make her room feel very girly next to her gray walls without overpowering a room with a ton of pink.  Well, I guess to some this may still be a lot of pink, but for me, it's a restrained amount.  With my mom's help, we sewed two flat panel curtains and lined it with a white fabric to help darken the room for nap time.  I love sewing flat panel curtains and using clip rings.  It makes it really easy, and I love the simple look.

 

My mom suggested adding ribbon tabs rather than using the clips, but I thought of a way to combine the look of both.  The pink ribbon bows are the shabby, and the shiny curtain rings are the chic.  And I spent forever finding the perfect curtain rod which ended up coming from Home Depot.

So I found the curtain rings marked 80% off at Bed, Bath, and Beyond because it came in the old packaging that had been discontinued.  I saw the exact same rings marked full price in the new packaging one rack over.  I needed two packs of rings which ended up costing me $4 rather than $20!  I then tied the bows before attaching them to the clips and heat sealed the edges by running them across my lighter.  I just used a dab of hot glue to attach them to the clips, and I was finished!
