Curtain-Covered Furniture

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Shower Curtain Desk is a Simple and Stylish DIY Project

— May 21, 2011 — Art & Design
This craft project proves that anything old really can be new again.

This shower curtain desk is an example of a simple, cheap and stylish home makeover project you can make on a rainy day. The clever homemaker who underwent this project had an old IKEA desk table that no longer matched the decor of the home. Instead of being wasteful with the still-functional furniture, the owner chose to revamp this dated desk. People will often do the same thing by painting old surfaces to change their color, but this owner chose instead to upholster the piece with a patterned shower curtain that matched the home.

This shower curtain desk underwent a major makeover with minimal funds.
