Weekend Wonder: Shower Curtain Round 2

     Did anyone else mentally say "ding ding" after they read round two? No one? Okay just me :) This weekend I will be going round two with the shower curtain for the Weekend Wonders series. I mentioned yesterday that all shower curtain progress went down the drain when my sister and cutie pie nephew came down for my birthday last weekend.

Here's a shot of me blowing out my adorable candleabra candle that my sister found. 

Well I also mentioned yesterday that I was going to tackle this mess this weekend....

     There's bad news and good news about that....

      The bad news is that when we got the buffet that I found on Craigslist home it was two small for the TV in the living room.

The good news is that it fits perfect in the bedroom! (I'll be back next week with a picture, we still need to do some rearranging) An added bonus was that I only spent $35 on it!! Thank you Craigslist and the power of negotiating!

    So I'm off to wrestle some ruffles on a shower curtain. What are you guys up to this weekend? Anyone in the OK area going to the fair grounds for the Home and Garden Show? The boyfriend and I are! More on that next week :) Have a good weekend y'all!

Weekend Wonders: Shower Curtain

     Weekend Wonders is a series I'm starting to motivate me and anyone else that wants to tackle a project this weekend! I'll start with a preview post on Fridays about the project that I hope to complete and will follow up early the next week with the progress I made or a finished product post.

     This weekend's task has been put on the back burner for absolutely wayyyy to long. Its kind of ridiculous actually. We have been living without a proper shower curtain for months now because I am in love with the idea of a ruffled shower curtain, but have held back for two reasons. The first reason is that the boyfriend has an aversion to ruffles for some reason? Weird huh? The second reason being that the beautiful ruffle shower curtain at Urban Outfitters (pictured below) that we've all seen is out of my price range and I can't justify spending that much when I could just sit down and sew it myself. So I have declared that this is the weekend that I will tackle the shower curtain! Look at me, declaring something! Another factor is that I love the UO ruffle shower curtain but I've tweaked the idea a little to incorporate a hint of a modern pattern that I'm kind of in love with right now. You guessed it... Chevron!


Here are some shower curtains that I'm drawing inspiration from:

via Target

via Urban Outfitters

via Anthropologie

Here is what I will be using as a starting point...

 This is a queen set of white sheets that I found on the Target clearance isle for less than FIVE DOLLARS!! Don't believe me? Check out that beautiful red tag below!

... After all this blog is about design on a budget! Let's see what I can come up with! Check back next week for the reveal! Hopefully it will be a mix of romantic ruffles and modern lines. If that makes any sense! Ha! If you guys are going to tackle a project this weekend I'd love to see them! Just leave me a link in the comment section and I'll check it out. Have a good weekend everyone!
