Everyone says that curtains really make a room, and I totally agree. \u00a0They add softness,color and make a room feel more put together.<\/h3>\n

\"Painted<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

I love the gray stripes I added<\/a> to some Ikea curtains for our master bathroom. \u00a0In fact, I loved them so much that I decided to tackle another curtain project for the dining room.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Stenciled<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

I\u00a0stenciled curtains<\/a>\u00a0a while back for our dining room, but I decided I wanted more of a pop in my curtains. \u00a0These curtains were sweet and worked for the time, but they now call the guest room home. \u00a0They replaced some white blah Ikea curtains that once hung there. \u00a0That paved the way for me to get out the paint and go crazy\u00a0<\/del>get creative with some new white curtains.<\/h3>\n

\"Ikea<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

At first I wasn’t sure what color I wanted to do. \u00a0Then I looked at my chair and thought I would pull the gold out of the chair. \u00a0I made a quick trip to the hardware store and \u00a0came back with a few paint samples and matched one up. \u00a0I was ready to go to work. \u00a0I measured and taped just like I did for the gray curtains. \u00a0I even did the Mod Podge trick again to hold down the tape. \u00a0Well, let me tell you – it didn’t work as well this time.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Curtain<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

The gold was a lighter color, and when I went to hang the curtains, I could really see a Mod Podge line. \u00a0I didn’t have this issue with the dark gray. \u00a0So, dear readers, make a \u00a0note that this method works great for dark colors but not as well on the lighter colors. \u00a0So, back to the table I went, but oh no, I was almost out of paint. \u00a0I went back to the local hardware store to get some more mixed using the same formula as before. \u00a0I bet you know where this is going.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Two<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

I came home and after taping off the lines again, <\/em>I\u00a0opened my paint and realized it was not the same color. \u00a0Now I know the paint can be a tad different, but this color was so pale compared to the first mix. \u00a0Back to the store I went. \u00a0It turns out that this simple project was taking a lot longer than expected.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Painted<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

But oh was it worth it!! \u00a0After taping and applying two more coats, the curtains had the bold pop of color I was looking for in our dining room.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Painted<\/p>\n

\u00a0This is one of my favorite rooms in the house because it is so bright, and great times are had around this table. \u00a0You can read more about this room here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and\u00a0here.<\/a><\/h3>\n
