For an elegant French door look you have two options: a full panel or a half panel. It’s a great way to hide the mess inside, too…shhh! Full-Paneled French Door. I do use baskets a lot which at least make it look more decorative......until the basket overflows. :-)Exactly, Kim...and trust me, the insides are not perfect!! I had to giggle at your bridge and real estate joke. Even if the inside of your closets are nice, neat and organize, why not give them a bit of style from the outside too? :) I actually gave all of my fabric away when I moved here because I just didn't have room to store it! Stopping by from The Over 40 Bloggers. I would have never believed you accomplished it with velcro!Looks great. Addicted! For $8 each, I found table skirts that perfectly cover the height of my damaged, mismatched cabinet doors, and measure 29 x 168 inches. I LOVE how the springy fabric just changed the whole look of your little space! Instead of replacing the doors to make it less dull, try using wallpaper (or even several different pieces) to cover the closet door. It’s a nice pick me up after all this snow!It's very nice Kim but I'm partial to lighter colors....as for keeping the desk looking that way that's life. So pretty. They add unified, solid color to spaces around the room, with a touch of softness due to the pleating.
My husband prefers leather and wood! Nice.I really like fabric Lorri. Thanks Lynne! So pretty. I really like the fresh feel they have now!I really like your desk area. :) Good luck with your projects! I have tried the all white look and it's just not me! LOL!
That desk is such a catch all! JaneThanks Jane! It might be pricey, but for a few cabinets, it might be worth it! Thank you, Mary! I love fabric…I just have a thing for all the color and texture.
and... it doesn't matter anyway. Measure the width and height of your door to determine how many strips of wallpaper are needed to cover the surface (2 to 3 depending on the width of your roll). Thank you for sharing.
You know me - I'd use my sewing machine to make neat gathers and perhaps even sew a strip of fabric along the gathers to keep them in line and easier to pull tight. I'm just much lazier than you are, Nancy!! Make it pop or blend by covering up the plain door. I love fabric and your idea is so pretty. Your office space look pretty with the new fabric. I love it. ;) Pretty is always nice ... pretty look and pretty easy project. I hardly ever iron and the fact that I had spray starch in the house is SHOCKING! ;) Hey Kim. Thank you for sharing. 1. You're so creative! ;) Fabric adds such nice visual texture and warmth. If you’re in a neutral room try a great color out on just the door. $139.99 $ 139. !What a great idea! I have a hutch that I have been wanting to add some fabric too and now I know how to do it. You just made my day!! And depending on the print and color of the curtains, you can emphasize the room’s theme, change it or add more style to it!Have fun and grab some wallpaper. And I have to admit the tulips from your husband are pretty amazing too! I liked it so much, I chopped it up and started making something else from it. Have velcro, will cover!! I'll keep you posted! Yes! I stick all the mess in the desk drawers and hide it behind the fabric! I made a bunch of fabric strips for the waste can I transformed in my last post. If you’re using a patterned wallpaper, be aware of how frequently the pattern repeats. It will give you extra ways to check out your outfits and a way to make your room look and feel a bit bigger. I made extra and used some spray starch to stiffen them a bit to use for a doorstop. It's lovely both ways, but it's always nice when we make a change. You can also make a recessed panel using fabric and trim. I bet it’s super sweet! I would love being able to change out the fabric too, being a fabric lover. I worked on big plastic bag so I didn't make a mess. Genius. Thanks for peeking at my fabric trick. I also like color and lots of it. I do like the new bright color. I am glad to hear it shows! For a full-paneled French door look, buy one set (2 rods) of café curtain rods that will leave a maximum of 2 inches of uncovered door on either side for each panel. Maybe I can find someone to put glass in my cabinets. You will need the extra width to gather the fabric, so it looks shirred when you close the door. ;) Not even close!What a wonderful and simple way to enliven spaces. It's a giant catch all. If you’re in a bold room, make it even bolder with a self-painted closet door. The first option many homeowners consider when dressing French doors is mounting draperies above and beyond the door frame.
Pinning & sharing :) Thank you so much Wendi! Love your cabinets with the fabric in it. But alas I can only look. Replace the boring doors with flowy fabrics and it will instantly create a more ethereal, romantic setting. Gotta love that velcro!I have always loved the look of a skirted farmhouse sink. It’s easy too, anyone can do it! Great ideasOMG! And it's cheap too! You do it so much easier! Right now I am wrestling with my sewing machine trying to scrap together a new curtain out of the old panels from the glass cabinets. I like both fabrics.
:) Kim, very pretty fabric - being red and white, this is always true! I am a fabric junkie! Saw your link at DIY Party.Thanks Mary! ;) Thanks for coming by to take a peek, Linda and for the pretty party! !Thanks Jennifer! It’s slow go and I don’t have a kitty friend to entertain me!
