Window treatments can really make a room design come together. Some don't care for window treatments, but I happen to love them. To me they add a level of coziness. It's just a personal preference.

They can be very expensive when custom-made. I had our bedroom window treatments custom-made 13+ years ago , and it was pricey. I had sewn simple curtains before, but I was afraid to tackle the look I was after.  Plus at the time, the kids were very young. Never again will I pay that kind of money.

You don't have to know how to sew to create a beautiful window treatment! With iron on tapes and clips, you can create the look with minimal time and effort. 

10+ Super Easy Window Treatments from no-sew to minimal sewing via Our Southern Home

This collection has a variety from no-sew, minimal sewing to repurposing something else for a window treatment!

 

 No Sew Curtain Panels - Inexpensive and Easy  - artsychicksrule.com #nosew

No-sew Window treatment from Artsy Chicks Rule. Isn't this fabric gorgeous!!! They look every bit custom!

 

Super easy!! No Sew Curtain Panels  - artsychicksrule.com #nosew

Here is another example from Artsy Chicks Rule. Love this French Country look.

 

Bamboo Shade Banner

Are you sitting down! This faux bamboo shade is made with dollar store placemats!!! You can find the instructions at House on the Way.

 

pillowcase-curtains-diy

Need a shorter curtain like for a bath! This is fast, inexpensive and stylish from Petticoat Junktion.

 

One Set of Twin Sheets 3 Ways

Yes….with a twin sheet! There are some beautiful sheets out there. They are already hemmed to use for a light and airy look from What Meegan Makes.

 

rustic-smocked-drop-cloth-curtains-country-design-style-FP

I am really wanting to try this look….very French Country from Country Design Style. Below you'll find another example using these instructions! Definitely on my to-do list!

Tired of your mini-blinds? Why not make a Roman shade out of them from Rappsody in Rooms.

No sew drop cloth curtains with removable toile topper from Our Southern Home #nosewcurtains #dropclothcurtains #windowtreatments

I made these!! They are from drop cloths and left over fabric from another curtain. You can find it HERE.

Fall is just around the corner. Now is the time to get started on new window treatments for the holidays. Have you tried your hand at making window treatments? I'd love to hear about it!

    I really support you when you say window treatments really tie a room together. It is almost like you need to pick the drape colors and then get another room accoutrements that work with the drape colors and designs. I’d say that any person would admit that the drapes are usually the focal point for anyone entering a room for the first time.

    I like the bamboo shades because when paired with the Hawaiian floral print blinds, they have a nice tropical look. Plus, buying them at the dollar is a deal you can’t beat. My wife and i are thinking of doing something similar and this idea may help! Thanks for the post!

Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER! I wore them for the first time out Saturday night for our anniversary dinner! @lovechicos Now I want to wear them all the time! They are so comfy, stretchy, lightweight and just freaking fabulous! ❤️ Paired them with a sweater from @amazonfashion so it toned the look down a bit. I felt dressy casual. I’m also going to be wearing them with a white sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Life is too short.....So wear the sequins! Follow me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to get the product details for this look and others http://liketk.it/34KjY #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKNewYear #StayHomeWithLTK

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!
