Fabulous Find: The Dining Room Decor

I have been wanting some new drapes in my dining room. A few weeks ago I spotted some fabric rolled up at Goodwill. I couldn't unroll it because it it was all taped up, but I liked the print on it and MOST of all the price tag $4.00!! Bad Heather, I forgot to take a picture of it all rolled up. Most of you wouldn't have even picked it up because how it looked all wrapped up. Tip #1: Don't judge a book by it's cover. Or, fabric taped up in this case : ). Here's a pic of the print:

When I bought it I didn't know that I would use it for drapes, but if you know me, and know my love for fabric, you understand why I didn't pass it up. I got it home and unrolled it and was so excited. I had planned on using my curtain clips if it would work for drapes, but once I got it all layed out I discovered someone had already had it professionally pleated. Yay! 

I sprayed it down with lysol, stuck it in the dryer on high for a few minutes, took an iron to it, and hung it.

Since there were only two panels and I have two windows, I just decided to put one panel on each. I actually like it better with these narrow windows.

Here's a pic of half the dining room. As you will notice, we are in the process of swagging the light fixture over the table. the hook is already mounted but connecting the dimmer wires is a little harder than we expected. Have no fear, the father in law will be here next week! ; )

I found this really cute wrought iron cross at Hobby Lobby in the clearance aisle for $3.88. Yep, four bucks.

The reason it was on sale was the scratches on the middle of it.

I was not at all worried about that. Because I, of course, have a solution for that!
