Pink and White Striped Curtains

I love it when I am able to make such a dramatic change in a room for $5!    I found these extra long pink and white striped ...satin....fully lined drapes for $5 at a yard sale Friday.

Pictures don't do these drapes justice.    They are so heavy and luxurious.....what a find!

The drapes were long enough that I was able to puddle them on the floor.

Before....white curtains ......................................................................Now,  pink & white stripe.
I have used some pink and white stripe in the other areas of the family room,
I added some pictures along the window sill....just to give it a little different look to the area.     The two pictures on the right end of the sill are new  yard sale purchases too.

They are small unframed oils that I picked up for $3 each.

I made a table runner out of pink and white doilies.....

These two pillows were purchased at a yard sale Saturday.....
I don't know if the pillows will stay in the dining room chairs or not....but I like them there for now.   I like the way they  pick up some of the black that is in the area rug under the dining room table.  

  Thank you so much for stopping by....come back soon!

  6. You do find the most wonderful sales, I just love the new look, the curtains are lovely with the lace and flowers in the window too, Beautiful touch, I have some pink and white doilies my mother in law made me years ago, such a blessing to have them now that she has passed.

  7. I probably would have passed them up...and been an idiot for doing so. I need living room drapes..but because of all the prints I've stuck to the cream. One never knows until they are up...and those look fantastic, Penny!! We went the sales this weekend too...but only got a few small things. I've already given away two of them. :) Daughter in law took a measuring cup home..very old...and a crock for spoons. I managed to keep my adorable little flour sifter. I have to wonder if it is a salesmans sample.. You did GREAT.

  8. p.s. Of all your pretties, and you have a lot, my very favorite thing..is that little pig. Over in the corner. I look for him every time you post..or rather it's probably a "her"...anyway...I covet that precious piggy!!! :)

  25. "Those curtains are the perfect addition to your cozy little nook! Aren't finding little gems like that the best part of scavenging around? It's amazing what a little creativity and ingenuity can produce?

    I love your eye for simple beauty. So many people tend to really go over the top with their decorating! Thanks for another great idea."
