Tour a Main Bedroom Makeover That Cost Less Than $150

Create Window Dressings

While custom draperies always look stunning in magazines, they just didn’t suit the style of our bedroom. Instead of going for something elaborate, I kept it extremely simple. I took a piece of muslin fabric, cut it to fit the window, and hemmed the edges. Then, I added grommets to each corner. To hang it, I screwed cup hooks into the window frame and hooked the grommets onto them. When the fabric is "closed," it falls straight down. To open it, we simply loop the bottom grommets onto the cup hooks for a casual, functional look.
