Color Blocked Curtains (Nursery Project)


Color Blocked Curtains (Nursery Project)



Color blocking is the cool thing right now. Just search "color block" on Pinterest and you'll see about every tangible thing in your life color blocked!

 We found these babies at the GW in Denver. They were from a Target drop. But there were only three of them and we needed four! 



Then my mother said, "why don't you turn them sideways?" and I said, "Mom, you're a genius!"


So, we turned them sideways (only using two curtains instead of three), added fabric and cut them down the middle to make four. 

Here are the sewing gals. The pregnant one's a pro.... literally!  She has her own sewing business called Holly Petersen Designs, where she designs custom fitness apparel. 


Here's Holly showing us what the next color layer will look like. 



.....and here's the finished product! 

If you saw the first post about Baby Z's Nursery, you will know that we had four days in Denver to create my sister's nursery. She and her husband wanted to use turquoise and orange.


(In case you're wondering, the rods and cool ends are from IKEA)

You can see more of this room, from Monday's post on Nursery Project #1: DIY Geometric Wall Art
