fail....

I decided to repaint the frames in my dining room to another green. Turns out I loved it. Then I decided my black and white curtains could use some color. So I picked up a bottle of Apple Green dye from Joann's and dyed them.

Fail...they turned out dark and drab. So I decided to bleach them to see if I could fade the color. Double fail. They turned out light and drab.



So I can either remove the color and try to dye them again or buy new fabric. I'm thinking of new fabric. ;) I do like this one.



It would be fun and colorful. We'll see. I wish things turned out how they look in my head!

So know what you mean.. I can see something in my mind and then,,,not the same as it comes together.. but success cannot come without failures... good luck and love the material!

I'm so glad you were willing to share a fail. I find it discouraging when it seems everybody else's projects turn out perfectly everytime. Thanks for keeping it real. Oh, and love the fun new fabric if you decide to go that way.
