Oh Happy Day!!! That's what I thought when I paid a visit to my friend Layla . She introduced me to a new friend...the drop cloth!
I know you must be thinking I have gone and lost it but this has just opened my eyes to so many projects. I took myself to the Home Depot and bought two of these. See them on my chairs....Hmmmmm.
Why didn't I ever think of this? Guess that's why I blog and have friends like you! See this sweet fabric?I call it that now because its just too good to be a drop cloth. Remember the boards I made a few days ago?....Hmmmmm. Now your thinking!
For starters I just pulled mine out of the package,ironed,and hung.That easy! Please pardon the blinds but I had to close them to stop the glare from coming in. They are usually pulled all the way up and you dont even see them...
My husband just laughed and was so excited that they cost under ten dollars each
You would never think drop cloth while feasting your eyes on these babies. Oh happy day!
Could it get any better? Oh yes it did! My friend Stacy was so sweet to send me this curtain that I have been searching for. Oh happy day! My world is a better place..my home is a better place...my heart is a better place...because of you!

Your curtains/drop cloths look great! I bet they would be great to use to upholster chairs.
Aren't those the coolest idea ever??? I so want to do drop cloth drapes in my house. Yours look absolutely fantastic!!! Layla rocks, and so do you!
Blessings!
I too went out and bought those dropclothes! They are hanging on my windows which is posted on my blog several posts down. Layla and her ideas are amazing! I think I will go back and edit mine so that I can link to your site and show others that they look amazing! The possibilities are endless I think with them and the price can not be beat!
How sweet! You've got some good friends :)! Love the dropcloths...Isn't that a great idea?!! They look great!
I think I will HAVE to try the drop cloth curtains...LOVE them! Oh and how neat that you got the Target shower curtain. I have looked at a couple of Targets and can't find any...:(
What a fabulous idea! Wonder if material is too stiff fow sewing? Cuz that would be so cheap to buy for slipcovering!
Thanks for the thought, I'm checking them out at Lowe's later today!
Just stopped by to thank you for the kind words you left on my blog regarding my mom:)
I am so jealous you found the shower curtain. I was looking for 2...1 for me and 1 for you! Oh well! I'll keep looking for me!
I'm going to check out Layla now.
Love the curtains! I am shocked by all the things people have done with these things...So great!
Yay!! I am so happy that you got one now too!!
how does everyone have friends that just send them bird curtains from target?
maybe i need to have a garden party?
xo
They look wonderful!

Wow, those look great! I would have never thought to do that with the drop cloths -- and I bet they would dye really easy! Thanks for stopping by -- and good luck with your summer planning :)
Lucky girl to have found the shower curtain. Your drapes are lovely.
Too funny! I bought two of these this weekend myself. One small 4x5 for a small table cloth (under $5) & the other I am using as curtains on my patio. Yours look great!
Yay for you! So glad you got your shower curtain.
I LOVE the drop cloth curtains, I'm going to look for some for my family room!
I'm glad you got your shower curtain, too!!
I'm looking around my room right now pondering those drop cloth curtains on my windows....hmmmmmm...
What a great idea! Love that neutral color.
I thought about your shower curtain when I was in Target a couple of weeks ago but they didn't have it. Glad someone found it for you!

I've been thinking about those drop cloth curtains too - I just haven't gone out & gotten them yet. Looks like I'd better hurry.
Yours look great.
i would have never thought of this idea! and how frugal in these times. so jealous of your shower curtain, you lucky thing:)
HI Dear Susieness! Oh, my goodness! Drop cloths for curtains! Who would have thougt? And they look fantastic! They seem to really hang well too! Man, I love them. Wished I'd know about drop cloth curtains before I made mine! Shoot! :( Well, I guess I'll have to get over it!
How sweet of your friend to send you the darling shower curtain! You're the best, Darling!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Wow! Great idea. Love the bird curtains...very pretty.
They look great as curtains!! I love those.
I saw when Layla used these and thought about how good they looked in her little cottage. But they look so good here too. I may be using them in my bedroom at the new house.
Thanks for sharing.
So glad to hear you got the shower curtain! Enjoy it with every ounce of your heart. You deserve it.
Now get to work so I can see what you do with it!!!
Hugs,
Stacy
Love your drop cloth curtains! I've seen slipcovers made from them, but never thought of hanging them. I'm glad you found your shower curtain. I bought mine in February, and have just started putting the guest bath together around it. I move real slow...

Drop cloths for curtains? Never would have thought of that, BUT they look beautiful!!! Great job!!!
I think you just found me my new porch curtains! Sweet!! Layla is amazing!
Your curtains look great! I have a chair that I "slipcovered" in a dropcloth and we love it! The kids can't destroy it and if they do, I'll just go buy another! Another great thing is that they get softer with each wash. Our chair is so cozy now, it's been washed around 4-5 times.

Your curtains are fabulous and I think you have answered my dilemma for the guest room. I've been looking for an affordable linen look and this is just the ticket!!
Thanks Susie!
Who would have thought ~ Love it!
Jo
Thanks for sharing this idea..This is the whole reason I blog. Fabulous!
I LOVE the dropcloths. They look like linen drapes. I will be getting some of those!
GREAT! I know....I couldn't believe when she pulled out with drop cloths! they are on my "to do" list as well. LOVE THEM! and I am soooo happy you received the shower curtain you wanted!!! HAPPY HAPPY DAY!
They look great! Seriously, who would have thought!
How lovely and what a creative idea! So glad you were able to get that curtain you wanted!
Blessings,
Michelle
That's why I LOVE blogging! Things we never would have thought of...they look great!
The "DC" Drapes look awesome! Totally ingenious! ~CC Catherine from "Catherine de th`e Cups"
Those look great! That is such a good idea!
And WHERE did Stacy find that shower curtain?
What a great idea! Something tells me there's going to be a raid on Home Depot from your readers!
What a wonderful idea....drop cloths! Hummmm....what a great price....a girl could really use that cloth in many ways...maybe even cover a chair or two. You've got me thinking!

So sorry that I didn't respond to your comments...for some reason, I didn't have my comments on that blog hooked up with my email! :O I didn't fix your blog...maybe it was being tricky and it fixed itself? Hee hee...Blogger can be testy! :D I miss you too! If you ever need any help at all, just let me know!! I would be happy to help! God bless.
