Target Green Tablecloth Curtains!

I mentioned here that I was feeling the urge to change out my living room drapes. Here is where it all began... One day while browsing the aisles of Target I came across this gorgeous green tablecloth. The fabric was a nice thick sateen finish and the color was the perfect grassy green. I immediately knew what I wanted to do with it/ them. I didn't invision them on my table, but on my windows. I just had to make sure that they would work.

I hurried home to measure and discovered they would fit perfectly on my existing rods with just enough to brush the hardwoods. At $17.99 each, I knew this was a bargain! I spent a few days trying to talk myself out of my love for them, because I always do that when I really love something... It is like a test I give myself to make sure that it isn't an impulse buy. A week later, I passed the test and I was ready to commit; but Target was quickly selling out of these little beauties. I went to three Targets to get enough for my two large windows. I LOVE the way they turned out!!!

They give the perfect amount of color to the living room without being too overpowering.

Please excuse the mass of cords behind the TV. We really should do something about that.

The lamps are an old pair I had that used to be brown. A little glossy white Rustoleum cleaned them right up. While I was at it, I also spray painted the shades in oil rubbed bronze. They were originally olive green. I had no idea that you can spraypaint fabric, but it worked quite well.

The room is so big and open that the pattern helps tie everything together. Yes, my couch pillows no longer match. That is my next project.

I would love to eventually have a pair of wing back chairs for infront of this window, once we move the TV over the fireplace. One step at a time. One step at a time.
I am also trying to figure out what to do here^ It needs something to fill the space and I can't decide what. I dont want to fill it with just anything... a photo collage, one big piece of art, a huge family photo? I change my mind daily, nothing has passed my week long test as of yet.

Well there you have it, my Target tablecloth curtains! Don't overlook the kitchen linens when you are looking for great fabric, same goes for shower curtains! Sometimes you can find a great bargain!
