Burlap Window Mistreatment!

Welcome to Crazy for Burlap Party hosted by Miz Rhoda of Southern Hospitality!

I have a dirty secret... This is the window on the door to my dirty secret - our back room! The main entry into our home and it's disgraceful! There's nothing welcoming or gracious about it, it is what it is, a collection site for everything from power tools, appliances, wood, discarded junk, clutter, exercise equipment, you name it and it's probably buried in this room some where!

I seriously need an intervention where this room is concerned.

So while on vacation last week I decided to take 30 minutes and whip up a mistreatment for this window. Afterall if ya can't hide it ya should decorate it right? *smiles*

Here's the view from outside, see the cute burlap?

Left over from my chicken wire frame projectI'm definitely going to spruce up the outside soon *hanging head in shame*

Here's the inside view... Still have to add insulation and dry wall. The cute fabric is an embroidered linen of sea shells, turtles and starfish from Robert Allen.

And here it is rolled up from the outside

I see now that I need to paint this door since the primer coat isn't looking so great

And rolled up from the inside

This is a metal clad door but for some reason those magnetic curtain rods wouldn't stick to the door. I didn't want to put holes in it for a regular rod so I used velcro to attach it. I used two different kinds, the sticky kind and the sew on kind from our favorite store Hobby Lobby.

If you want to make something similar but haven't a clue how I'd be happy to talk you thru it!

Thanks for looking!
