Confidence Boost: DIY Curtains & Window Treatment Examples from Real Kids' Rooms
Curtains and other window treatments are the most common DIY projects I see in the baby and kids' rooms we feature on Apartment Therapy. And for good reason: you can get exactly the look you want and often save money at the same time. From the simplest project of cutting and hemming your own fabric to more involved projects, take a look, get inspired and boost your own confidence: you can do it!
