Our Bohemian Valances.


 The Inspiration.
 
I saw a few beautiful photos of Bohemian inspired rooms with these gorgeous Toran curtains.  But if I can make something, instead of buying it - I will.





 The Before.
 These are the curtains I replaced.  I made these, as well.  I just felt our bedroom had started taking a turn towards the eclectic and these were really made for a more serene environment.  I still love them and am sure I will have a space for them again some day.



 The Pattern.
 
Is it bad that I never bring my own bags when I go to Trader Joe's just so I can get paper bags for making patterns at home?




 The Lay Out.
 A work in progress...



My New Bohemian Valances!
I LOVE them!
Although I worry a tad that they're a bit more "Big Top" than Boho... but the colors are just lovely and they've added quite a bit of vibrancy to our love den.



UPDATE

I couldn't get past the circus feel of my curtains... so I added layers.
Here's the FINAL product!

And here's a glimpse at the bedding...  so you can see how it all ties together. 


Our big man on my side of the bed.  =D


I sewed this pillow from scraps of other projects.



I ADORE my leopard box spring cover!
