Does this make me a thief?

It's Sunday - Super Bowl Sunday, to be precise.
I've spent the morning cleaning my office, looking for tax documents, and filing a mountain of paperwork.

After a few hours, I decided I needed a break, so I started going through my favorite blogs. I have my normal blog roll, which I read every.single.day, without fail. And then way dooowwwwwnnnn there, bottom left, I have a few special sites that give me goosebumps, every.single.time.i.visit.

Have you ever been to Maillardville Manor?

If not, check it out (after you are done reading this post, though).

I came across her post from the other day where she revealed her new library. And I gasped.
Out loud.
Look at this beautiful, beautiful, beautiful space:

I seriously couldn't stop drooling. I have library envy. Big time.

Do you see those curtains off to the left? She made them from two tablecloths. That she bought from Target. On clearance. I read that, and like Speedy Gonzalez (with Isabel in tow), I was out the door and on my way.
I had to have them, and if there was ANY chance that all of the housewives of Queen Creek hadn't taken them, I was going to get them for myself.

I got the LAST four tablecloths.

I've decided to use these "curtains" (along with MM's library) as my inspiration for my formal living and dining rooms. 

Remember these:

Ignore the "It seats eight" wording. I went back to try and find pictures of the two rooms from before we moved and evidently, I never took any shots. So, I used the next best thing - or the only pics I could find. To help set the scene though, the formal living room is at the front of the house, off of the main hallway - and the formal dining room is towards the back of the house. It's one large room, two spaces.

I feel like I'm confusing even myself. lol...I will take a good "before" picture soon enough. 

Anyhow, all this rubbish is to help explain why I bought the last FOUR tablecloths. Each window will need two panels. Each panel is 84" long. Depending on how I hang them, I may need to copy MM and add a bottom border piece in order to reach the floor. We will see.

That's my EXCITING news for the day. I so hope MM feels honored - and not in the mood to file a restraining order for decor. I just love her style... I cannot wait for my own room to take shape!

P.S. I hope my mister likes them. ;)
