FABBY: Recycled Curtain Panels

 I'm really loving the tablecloth made from my dining room draperies. My wonderful husband gave me this Christmas, this English silver fowl cover, that I used as a centerpiece.

I hope you all had a wonderful New Year's celebration.

 Here are my draperies panels before, made out of a fine silk brocade. We were so lucky to find a material very similar to the chairs back then, for our formal dining set.  This round table is on the breakfast area, next to the formal dining area and I love it cause we use it when we have more than 10 guests and this way we're all together.

 And here is the After, turned into a tablecloth, that matches our chairs as some of you noticed in my New Year's table.

 I washed it before I had the tablecloth made and it washed beautifully in the washing machine, although, it did get very wrinkled, but hey, I lot less than the 100% linen ones I have and hate to iron!...lol  You can see the tablecloth has pleaded panels all around it, as otherwise it wasn't going to have fabric to drape on the sides... and the pleads also added a bit of elegance to it.

Some of you who have been following me, last October we changed our dining and living room draperies to Hunter Douglas shades, to acquire a more clean, neat and a little modern look to our windows and I showed how I had table toppers made out of the living room yellow moire panels.  I saved the tablecloth that I had made from the dining room window for my New Year's Eve tablescape, specially because of the silvery look the fabric has.  Ok, here is the before window drapes and the now tablecloth.  The tablecloth looks so much like the dining chairs and that is not a coincidence, as we did tried to match them back then, when we bought the fabric.  This job coasted me $8 for the seamstress....can't go wrong!!

Again, only the very best for you all my dear blog friends for the New Year 2012 and may all your desires and dreams come true. Looking forward to enjoying your wonderful, stunning and talented posts!

Love,
FABBY
