Home is where my story begins....
Last February my husband and I downsized to a two-bedroom condo. It was a life challenging adventure. We have been in our present condo for 8 months. Now happily settled w/ so many do-it-yourself home improvements accomplished. We didn't hire pros because we are pros ourselves. My husband is an electronic engineer. I am an artists. Good combination of talents. For me, top home project was doing the drapes. Although the condo came w/ strudy and good-looking wooden blinds, I think not enough. Drapes at home are major asset for me. Drapes makes a home more cozier. More pricier. More lovelier. More quieter. More sexier.
I am not a pro drapery maker but I could follow simple sewing projects. Making drapes a simple project?You think I am kidding huh? After a decade of not making drapes I was rusty. It was like after a divorce. Confusion! Delusion! Desperation! But w/ more talent & time than cash, guts compelled me to do it. First I created my drapery design. Measured lots of windows, about eleven. Drafted a pattern. Cut the fabrics. Started sewing the first panel which took me a day due to wrong measurement. The rest of the panels were a piece of cake.
Now LOOK what I created! Presenting you my handmade & homemade drapes w/ pride.
Our living room w/ open windows. The homemade drape is bi-color (A combo of black on top w/ reddish fabric below. Red long drapes on sides). Noticed the views w/ trees outside.
Closed windows but the same setting. -"Be it ever so humble there's no place like home."
View of the living room w/ drapes on the side- "Home is where your heart is.
Main view of drapes from living room.- "A house is built w/ boards and beams. A home is built w/ love and dreams.
