There's The Stairway to Heaven and The Road to Hell. There is also The Hallway to Nowhere, which is in our house! Our front entry has two steps that lead directly to a long hallway with three closets on the right and a window at the end. Don't get me wrong, I love having the extra closets (and another space to decorate), but it's an odd layout that I like to make fun of!


I wanted a simple geometric pattern for the curtains and felt totally inspired when I came across this wall by Vintage Revivals. So fun and bold but simple!
First, I showed Jesse the picture from Vintage Revivals and asked him to cut a triangle shaped block for me. A few minutes later, he came back from the shop with a block that had a handle on it. A handle! Serious brownie points. Side note - I think an old drawer pull would work well as a handle, too.


Remember the stamped pillow from a couple months back? I used the same paint mixed with fabric medium for this, spreading it out on a (super fancy) piece of cardboard wrapped in foil. After dipping the stamp in the paint, I used the back of a spoon to spread the paint around a bit which gave each stamp a fun random look.

The stamping process took about an hour for each curtain but I moved pretty slowly, carefully lining up the point of each triangle on the pencil line. I also didn't want to drop the stamp and ruin the curtain like I did with my stamped pillow.

I let the curtains dry overnight before hanging them up. The instructions on the textile medium say to heat set the paint with an iron, but I'm a lazy crafter so I didn't do that. I figure if the curtains ever need to be washed I'll do a quick heat set before tossing them into the machine.



Fantastic!!! Great idea:)
