I have noticed a common idea floating around the world wide web of how to re-purpose painters drop cloths. Fellow blogger, Britt, from A Penny Saved used them as curtains: {You should scroll through her projects when you get a moment. Her work and creativity is awfully inspiring}
I think it is so clever to use the cloths as panels because they are heavy and they come hemmed. Because of my unending love of ruffles, I might take them one step further and add a strip of ruffles on the inside panel like I did for my dining room curtains.
See instructions on how to here.

Country Living added painted stripes and used them as tablecloths.
All uses are so clever, affordable and stylish.

I actually just did a group of pillows out of dropcloths..one shown on my blog a week or two ago....they're awesome, but the ones I found couldn't be used as is. They were out of square and although hemmed...not neatly.

Love the ruffle idea on the drop cloths.
I am loving those panels with ruffles! And I love your Hollywood regency posts - I'm really drawn to that style but I have a hard time trying to incorporate it into my own house. It just seems over-the-top, but I guess that's the point. I do really like the room in your post above, though, and it does seem do-able in a normal person's house. Thanks for the inspiration! (And for the shout-out!)
