Jazzin' it up...just a little though

Okay soooo....since we've moved my sweet Caroline's room has been an in-progress project for me. I want to make it cute for her but it's kinda hard to spend money knowing that'll we'll be moving (God-willing)in less than a year now. Now I love brown! Love it! Don't know why...perhaps because it reminds me of coffee, chocolate, autumn and just all around is what I like to call a "cozy" color. But looking around her room I found that I was perhaps going a little over board with brown. Afterall my other most favorite colors in the world are purple (not that wimpy light purple but a true, deep and rich purple) and yellow (not a wimpy soft baby yellow but a bold, golden and happy yellow). So in an attempt to "jazz" up her brown curtains I found some zig-zag purple ribbon. (I think there is a different name for this type of ribbon but I can never remember it so I just call it "zig-zag".) I decided to just stick with adding only one color to the curtains to try and steer clear from the"busy" look as I am trying to create a "cozy" place...and in my opinion busy and cozy CANNOT go together. Then I just took fabric glue and glued the zig zag ribbon down. I like how it turned out and like I said, I feel like it jazzed it up just a bit. I only spent $2.50 on the ribbon and the brown curtains were on clearance for $7. I had to buy two packages so I spent a total of $16.50 to cover both the windows (one set by the rocking chair, another set by her crib) in her nursery. I figured that was pretty good for curtains, especially since I couldn't even make them that cheap. Her are the before and after pictures. Like I said it's jazzin' it up...just a little though. :)
