Pretty Lace Windows

My kids like to play in the windows in our front room, which happens to be the playroom. So I can't really stop them if that is their space. They like to pull on the blinds and play in them. It drives me crazy and I am always finding bits of blind mixed in with the toys. I don't have a budget to replace the blinds and I don't really care for them anyways.

I was inspired by this idea of wrapping frames with lace to use as screens. This idea comes from a sweet Swedish blog. I saw it on Pinterest.

I saw that idea and thought, "Hey! I could do that to my front windows." I had two lace shower curtains that I had used for my dining room window treatments a long time ago. I grabbed those, my handy staple gun, and got to work. 

First I cleaned the windows. Then I turned the storm window around and stapled the curtain right to the wood frame. I trimmed off the part that hung over and hung the window back up. Easy peasy. Since I already had everything, it didn't cost me a penny (which my husband loves).

What do you think? I have enough curtain to cover probably three more windows. It won't take care of all of my windows but it will cover the most important ones.

This window sits on our front porch and looks right into the playroom. I am very pleased!
