A Garden Bathroom Get Window Mis-treatments

Here is our ladybug bathroom. We bought the house like this, but love it as if was our own creation. This door opens up right onto the porch that leads to the pool.

I hated the window treatment on the tiny door window. So, I got online to research DIY window treatments. That's when I found my new favorite blog, The Nesting Place. She has hundreds of photos of "window mis-treatments". Ah ha!...that's just what I need given my sewing skills. I printed a few photos to use as inspiration, but I'm glad to say my new mistreatment is totally my own.

I had a few goals: let in lots of light, give total privacy, and the ceiling appear taller and the window larger. I wanted add a bit of seriousness to the bathroom given the whimsey of the mural.

I think I'll sinch up a few inches on either side where the green meets the white. This might give it more of a roman shade feel. By hanging the rod very close to the top and very close to the sides, I was able to use more fabric length-wise, which makes the room appear taller. Goal achieved!

The neighbor kids tested the privacy issue. Goal achieved!

Here are my supplies. I spent $19. (I'll return the ribbon). I had to paint the curtain rod because all they had was brass. Here's my sketching...I had to change my measurements several times  because I only had 54 inches of fringe.
