Pattern Inspiration - DIY Damask

<div align="justify">For some reason, damask wasn't on my Pattern Inspiration list. That is until I saw these two fabulous DIY projects! Now I'm thinking I may have to pull another Pattern Inspiration post together in the future with more damask inspiration. Today I just wanted to highlight these two projects.<br /><br />Have you seen the way Wendy at <a href="http://shabbynest.blogspot.com/2010/01/gift-wrapping-your-walls.html">The Shabby Nest</a> "wallpapered" her wall with this damask print <em>wrapping paper</em>? I absolutely love the way it turned out! See how she did it <a href="http://shabbynest.blogspot.com/2010/01/gift-wrapping-your-walls.html">here</a>.<br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDXuCQiBuBG-widjjQLUPUtaKvNYx9syji87GcfqgH95NrQhPSDHbjErDZrvLVsc6YV6UDiSYR0smrfSGlhgihOu95RIJZs1irWFeRs306pgRst84pQK574Ppd6U4RGcDIz1J5AQwL_k-J/s400/DSC_41990002.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDXuCQiBuBG-widjjQLUPUtaKvNYx9syji87GcfqgH95NrQhPSDHbjErDZrvLVsc6YV6UDiSYR0smrfSGlhgihOu95RIJZs1irWFeRs306pgRst84pQK574Ppd6U4RGcDIz1J5AQwL_k-J/s400/DSC_41990002.JPG" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 232px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /> <p align="justify"></a><br />Ashley at <a href="http://lilblueboo.blogspot.com/2010/01/screenprinted-drapes-pillows-tutorial.html">Lil Boo Blue </a>screen printed and sewed these damask print window treatments. Here's some of what she said in her post: "I wanted drapes that were simple and elegant but also that fit our informal living style. I love how they "pool" on the floor.....adds a little drama to our everyday living space." <br /><br />Didn't she do a great job? SO pretty... Complete tutorial and damask pattern <a href="http://lilblueboo.blogspot.com/2010/01/screenprinted-drapes-pillows-tutorial.html">here</a>. <br /></p><a href="http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z315/ahackshaw/IMG_0282.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z315/ahackshaw/IMG_0282.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 407px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 590px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br />Hope you're having an awesome day!
