The decoupaged covers really were the perfect inspiration tho... I have several vintage LL Bean catalog covers that I was planning on framing... I like your idea much better!

You are too funny! <br />Speaking of slow work, have you forgotten my still unfinished laundry room? That's been going on since October and I haven't done a thing to it since before Christmas.<br />I tend to have to re-do when I go too fast (like my kitchen curtains) so don't worry about taking your time.<br /><br />Thanks for adding my curtains to your inspiration list. So glad you like them that much! <br />That was a great idea to turn yours the other way. As Gail said, the 2 pack home depot had for $10 was a great deal and I stocked up on them too. It's been great to have the dropcloths already washed and bleached and ready to use on a whim. I've also seen them online really cheap too.<br />My curtains fringes are made with the leftover pieces from my laundry bin liners. Nothing is wasted!<br />I'm glad you kept the outdoor life covers, I think they're really cool looking too.Rose @ Confessions of a Curbshopaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937964580748244670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-3575788647715935302011-01-27T19:50:45.768-06:002011-01-27T19:50:45.768-06:00I like the old magazine pics---old pics are always...I like the old magazine pics---old pics are always fascinating. <br /><br />It is funny about hanging the curtains upside down!

I get bored with a project if it takes too long:)<br />you've been busy. I love how you flipped the curtains, great idea! And I love that you made God the focus of your subway art!! Great projects and ideas.<br />WendyWendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03291926406565485854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-42918073284386133572011-01-27T10:34:10.232-06:002011-01-27T10:34:10.232-06:00I work on the slow, too!

Plus, we are trying to be mindful of how and where we spend money. <br /><br />Your Subway art on the black beadboard is very cute! I have yet to try Subway art but I really like the way it looks. Gail's piece is beautiful!<br /><br />Great idea to flip the curtains. Don't you love drop cloth curtains? <br /><br />Happy Thursday!<br />~Michelle :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-90503304672187458902011-01-27T06:21:55.730-06:002011-01-27T06:21:55.730-06:00Subway Art/Ransom Note - Love it!

I still have to contend with my kitchen, it's a decorator's nightmare. But I'm so wrapped up in this candle thing right now I don't even notice the obvious.

I really like the way yours is, loving the beadboard and the font! did you cut out letters? <br /><br />great idea for the curtains. HD had them in a 2 pack for $10.00. That's a good deal, even cheapo gail bought a couple of packs here and there. Not sure if they still have them. But if so, you'd have lots more drop cloth material for projects in the future.<br />keep movin' that's my plan. even though it's sllooooowwwww<br />gailgail@My Repurposed Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169865526245609703noreply@blogger.com
