Window Seat Transformation

This window seat is one of my favorite parts of our home.  I love it.  When we moved in it had some spectacularly awesome 80's curtains that certainly did it no favors.  This is the first room we re-did and I'm pretty sure those curtains are the first things I took down.  (you can click on the picture to get the full effect of their lovliness.)

Before:

After:

I made the pillow covers and curtains out of the left over fabric from our couch.  I'll show you the couch later, but here is a close up of the fabric.

These curtains were the easiest I have ever made.  I just made rectangles with the decorative fabric and white cotton on the back.  For the 2 side windows, I took a strip of 1 x 2 and stapled the scratchy side of some adhesive velcro onto the front edge of it.  Then I had my hubby screw it up into the underside of the window frame.  I sewed the soft side of the velcro onto the curtains and stuck them on.  Now I can take them down to wash if I need to and they go right back up.  For the center window, there was already trim around the window, so I couldn't use a board to attach velcro to.  I ended up just stapeling it to the trim and it works like a charm.

And here is the window seat with more pillows.  My neighbor really likes it this way, but I think I like it with only 4 pillows instead of 6.
