Drop Cloth Curtains-No Sew!

Drop cloth curtains are an affordable and stylish solution for adding soft texture and a casual, lived-in look to any space. Originally intended as painting covers, these heavy-duty canvas cloths have become a favorite among DIYers and home decorators for their neutral tone, durability, and versatility. Their natural color complements a wide range of design styles—from farmhouse to modern rustic—and they offer a relaxed, effortless drape that feels both cozy and refined. One of the best things about drop cloth curtains is how customizable they are. You can leave them as-is for a raw, organic look, or hem, bleach, dye, or stencil them to suit your personal style. Whether you use curtain clips for a simple hang or add grommets or ties for a more finished appearance, drop cloths make it easy to achieve high-impact window treatments on a budget. They're also great for large windows, patios, or even as room dividers. With a little creativity, drop cloth curtains can elevate your space...

Salvaged Windows


Old windows are incredibly versatile when it comes to styling your home. Whenever I come across one at a reasonable price—or for free—I never pass up the opportunity. I love incorporating them into various spaces throughout my home, as they add a simple yet impactful design element. Their charm easily complements a range of styles, from cottagecore and farmhouse to eclectic, making them a timeless and adaptable addition to any home.

You can use them for bulletin boards, chalkboards, & even as a way to display a collage of pictures! You can even layer framed prints with them for extra character.

I've included a few photos from my home to show how I've incorporated old windows into my space.




Why They Work:

  1. Create Depth: Faux windows trick the eye into perceiving depth where there isn’t any, which can make a room feel larger and more open.
  2. Reflect Light: If they include a mirror or are placed strategically, they can reflect natural or artificial light, brightening the space.
  3. Draw the Eye Up or Out: Vertical or large-scale faux windows can lead the eye upward or outward, enhancing the perception of height or width.
  4. Add Architectural Interest: They introduce visual structure and charm, helping plain walls feel more dynamic and “designed.”
