New Curtains: The Big Reveal

I am very excited to share with you how the new curtains turned out. Counting the curtains the trailer came with, this is the third window treatment this 2009 trailer has had. Here is what the trailer looked like when we bought it (company literature photo):

That brown palm-tree print was dismal! Another RV blogger had the same print and said it looked like brown marijuana leaves. Ugh!

Then, because the dinette was still in place, the fabrics were a combination of some stuff we had left from the house, plus the valance print chosen specifically to tie it together. The furniture soon went, but the fabrics lingered.

Then I found this great fabric on clearance online. Doesn't it look great with the wallpaper border?

Here's the same room as it looks today with the new curtains.

And here's the view in the other direction.

I totally got rid of what was left of the waferboard cornices that came with the trailer and put up valance boards.

It was a tight fit above the table, as there is a cabinet just above the window.

We had to go buy a chisel so Jan could make it work.

The curtains are lined with Roc-lon, which makes them so nice. I bought the lining with a 50% off coupon at Jo-Ann (if you aren't getting Jo-Ann coupons via e-mail, you should sign up!)

Did you notice the wooden hook to the right of the window in Picture 4? It matches one on the other side of the window. Jan's home now from another day of gold panning

so I think I'll go spend some time with him.

'Bye for now.
