Great Decorating Deal

Now that we've moved to an apartment, we have a few more things to do to finish our bedroom decorating project. In our old bedroom, we painted the closet doors black to accent the brown walls, and they looked great. But here, we have no closet doors, so I'd planned to make a curtain.
After several weeks of searching in thrift stores and in my parents' stash of sheets and linens (thanks, Mom and Dad!) I still hadn't found anything that would work with the theme of our room. I walked through the home dec fabrics at Jo-Ann one day last week and found a few I like, figuring we might be able to get one if there's a great sale.

And there was! This week home dec fabric is 50% off at Jo-Ann. Add a coupon for 15% off my total purchase (which was only good through yesterday) and I saved $19.98 on our fabric! Of course, I never would have bought it at the full price ($34.75 for 2.5 yards, including tax), so I'm thankful for such a great sale.

Go ahead and call me crazy, but I think I'm in love with this fabric. It's shimmery, it's satiny, it's elegant and gorgeous. And it's almost ready to hang in our room. I'm looking forward to putting it up to conceal the few remaining unpacked boxes which ended up in our bedroom. (Not good, I know--but I'm working on it!)

Now I'm off to spend some quality time with my fabric, ironing board, and pincushion, getting the hems ready to sew. I feel happy just thinking about it! Anyone else enjoy "fabric therapy" at the end of the day?
