Personal Project

 

Recently I worked on my own project for my home - and thought I would share. 

 

The Problem(...or, what I like to think of as a problem):

      The way that my bedroom is arranged makes it so that when I leave my door open a crack, any guests that might be over can see straight into my room still.  Why don't I just close my door if guests are over, you might be asking?  Well, any pet owner can vouch that NO PET likes a closed door.  If it's closed it is their mission to re-open it NOW!  I'm a bit of a private person (albeit, this blog...but, I digress) and I would just prefer that no one see any unecessary stuff.  (Honestly, I don't want to worry that hubby left a pair of undies out and their strewn casually in the room...again, I've digressed.)

 

The Goal: I thought about purchasing a shoji screen from my local Cost Plus, but on a good day they can range from $50-100.  This may just a temporary thing (I don't always have house guests) and I didn't want to spend that kind of money if it's something I don't keep up all the time.  I have a townhouse - storage is limited.  Then one night it hit me...

 

The Answer...

 

Here are the supplies...and a cat.  I wonder what I could be making??

 

With some gorgeous fabric (on sale!), some curtain hooks and a pack of 3M hooks, I think I'm on to something...



The backside!
(The fabric ended up being too wide, but no matter!  With a few safety pins I was able to make it work without harming, cutting or altering the fabric.  This is useful because if ever I should not need to this "drape" anymore, I can reuse the fabric for something else. Win! Win!)

The Final Product! 
(What's great about the hooks is that everything is removable!  I kind of hate commitment in these regards, and this allows a lot of change. The 3M hooks can be pulled off, the hooks are removable, the fabric is just clipped in and the whole thing can be folded up and stored in a closet between sheets. LOVE!)
