We’re lucky to have a couple of rooms (like the kitchen and master bedroom) that are completely modernized and up to code, and the rest of the house is only a little outdated, mostly.

And let’s face it: It’s going to take a lot of time!.Just for fun, let’s look at another view of the room too.. You can see I didn’t really think there was much point in cleaning up for you here.

It’s not like it’s going to make it any better!.Now here’s the exciting part: I’ve already completed one wall!.Is it possible that this room is going to be a little.

light and bright now?Maybe even a little stark?

That’s OK, that just means I’ll have no choice but to have lots of fun bringing in some character and color.

I’ll take that over dark and depressing any day!.I folded the bottoms of the panels in 1″ and ironed, then the tops got folded in 3″ and ironed.

Both the bottom hem and the top were sewn in place as well.. And guess what?You really can get a lot fancier with your hems if you want to get  a more finished edge.

You can fold them in twice to hide the fraying fabric pretty easily and iron then sew that.The thing is though, you really don’t have to, and today is all about making this as simple and do-able as possible.
