So I started using Twitter. Yes people I know I am so far behind, but I really never intended to open a twitter account. I just thought it would be yet another thing to suck in my time (which it is, in a good happy place kind of way). Vivienne from
The V-spot totally convinced me. Sweet gal she is! I love her blog! She said it has been great for her blog and I thought "why not?" I am really glad I did. I can't believe how much more I get to hear from blogs I love. Little sneak peaks at what they are doing and updates when they post. It's inspiring people! I don't know as of yet if it's going to be benificial for my blog personally, but I am liking it for myself. So if you are on twitter, please come join me for updates and sneak peaks at what I'm doing :) It will be fun! Click

Alright so on to what I did this weekend. This project took all weekend and even flowed into this morning. I am officially finshed (ish). I say "ish" because I may change up the decor seen on the shelves. This is what I have for ya! A little before pic first, focus on the dark brown curtains and window:
After:
Do you jsut love it?!?! I do! It feels bigger and brighter in my living room. I am really enjoying the change. I may alter the decor on the shelves a bit still. I just used what I had on hand.
Read along this week for a tutorial on how I built the shelves, how I made the curtains, and some tips on how to paint ceramics. It will be a great week of tutorials!

The new curtains make a huge difference..they turned out great!
I really love it, it's brightens up the room! Fabulous job!
Awesome idea! I can't say I have ever thought of putting shelves above curtains, it looks great! Love the curtains too!
Great job!! It makes a huge difference. I think you whipped that out pretty quick actually. I can't wait to see how you made them.
You have totally opened up your room by replacing those dark curtains, Michelle! Looks good. Ya know, you are never ever REALLY done! I laugh because I often visit a client's house and do a little more tweaking or suggesting! LOL Thanks for visiting. You DO have a big clock! Mine was originally a cocktail table. It came into our store with the glass top damaged; and rather than throw it away after we were shipped a new piece of glass, I brought the clock home. Perfect and free! Take care. ~ Sue
Love the look of your room, especially the large clock on the mantlepiece.
A great statement piece.
Thanks for stopping by,
Maggie
You're fireplace totally stands out more. I like the new lighter look and the creative idea to put shelves up there too! Thanks for sharing. I found your blog through the sugar bee crafts link party and I'm your newest follower!

Great transformation! Amazing what a change of window panels can do. And I absolutely love the shelf...adds great height to your windows.
