Long Window Panels... on the Cheap!

If you have seen any of my Fall

tablescapes, you may have noticed

 my plaid window panels.

See how they match the

 little round table?

Well that's because they

are actually tablecloths.

Tablecloths come in  widths of 60"

and lengths up to 120" or even more.

I just took curtain rings that

 have clips and attached them

 about 4-5"from the top.

 The standard is about seven

 clips per stationary panel.

It gives a very casual relaxed look.

The size of the tablecloth you

buy  determines the amount of

 "puddle". I haven't even cut them.

Just folded them in half lengthwise. 

This is a really inexpensive way to

 get LONG panels that you can

change out for the holidays.

I didn't do an actual tutorial on how

to do this because it is SO simple.

If you have questions I will gladly

answer back here in the comments.

I know that there have been a LOT

of curtains made out of drop cloths.

So I came up with this idea... 'cause

I liked the colors in the plaid table-

cloth on the round accent table.

I think it looks real warm and inviting.

What do you think?

Here I am taking a picture of an area of La Quinta.

This is one of the cities where we are looking to live.

It is is the  Palm Spring/Palm Desert area of California.

Palm trees and mountain views on all sides of the valley. 

The mountains in this picture have light snow on them in the winter, 

but the valley stays at a moderate temperature. 

It is sunny about 360 days a year ( rains 3-6 ") 

and it does get hot in the summer!

I hope to share more info on my move.

(I have some pictures of the desert)

Just give me a few days as I will be

 very busy getting the house ready.

Once again... Hubby gets to go off first

and I will be left to tie up the loose ends.

Thank goodness for the corporate

moving package... I won't have to do

much, if any packing!
