Curtain for the closet

The closet in Ada's & Emma's bedroom was a sliding door closet and the previous owners had taken it off and stored it.  Good thing because I detest those type of doors- you can never see anything inside.  The problem is it always looks like a clutter filled eyesore and since their room might be my favorite in the house I had wanted to do something to cover it up.

I decided a curtain would do the trick but thought it might be more fun if they painted it themselves.  I was lucky enough to get some nice thick cotton that was 54" wide (exactly what I needed so I didn't have to hem the edges) on sale in a color that I liked.  I chose 3 colors of fabric paint that I thought would work in their room and that was about if for my input.  

I washed the fabric and hemmed the top and bottom and taped it to the kitchen floor.

Then we painted!

 I had the girls take off their clothes since it is fabric paint.  They just got right in the shower after painting.

 I let it dry here for about 3 hours.  Timed with naps and we just played downstairs after naps.

And here's what it looked like/ looks like in place.

And this is the rest of their room.  It just feels peaceful in there to me.

And the girls like it too!
