The Pioneer Woman’s linens gone wild
I just love The Pioneer woman’s line at Walmart. I swear it was made just for me:) The colors and her designs are just marvelous!
It all started last year when I first discovered her plates.
Today, I am sharing some nifty, thrifty ways to use her linen lines.
It started back in November when I bought her napkins to use over the holiday. I wanted happy, vibrant colors, and not so traditional for the season.
I used them several times over the holidays and when it came time to tuck them away is when I had a brain surge of an idea.
Why put them away??
I will start over on this side of the kitchen. I put away all the Christmas decor. Once that was all tucked away, the house was nice and clean…and BARE. I really dislike this time of year when the trees are bare and everything looks so stark. We tend to get more sunlight in the kitchen, however looking out the window is not very exciting to see all the naked trees.
I needed a pick me up. I thought to myself this may be tacky, or it may be cute. I then took a quick cell phone picture and asked my friends on my Debbiedoo’s facebook page what they thought. The crowd went wild. I really love my page and ladies over there. They are pretty honest with me. I had nothing to lose considering I did not spend an extra dime on this project. I had enough napkins, I had the curtain ring clips, and the existing rods where valances were already hung over the window.
I immediately loved the light it brought in, the cheery color and prints. This will surely brighten up my long winter days ahead.
I am indeed a little bit of country with a whole lot of rock-n-roll in me!
Now let’s take a look at the other side. I had to run out to Walmart immediately after this. I knew the existing tablecloth curtains I had would NOT flow nicely with this new look.
Low and behold here was this beautiful linen vintage stripe tablecloth calling my name. It’s perfect. I bought a 60 x 102 inch. Most people will not need that large. Our windows are quite tall.
And why not pick up another cow while I’m at it? I did have a little bit of Christmas money to spend on myself.
Everything was getting refreshed. This gather here sign I made a few weeks ago and I couldn’t wait to hang it. The little cow above it is a Goodwill find. I found that years ago for about 50 cents. I painted the frame and then never did anything with it. It found a new home right away. Now I am getting the whole darn farm around here. Roosters and cows certainly fit the country theme.
I bought ONE tablecloth and cut it down the center.
I then used my curtain clips (Found at Walmart in a pack of 7)
I’m ready for ya Winter..bring it on!
Affiliate links for The Pioneer woman’s line of goods and other misc. I found all of mine at Walmart. I know some people won’t step foot in there though..so just in case your are one of them.
So either you love it, or you hate it. It’s staying awhile regardless. I was up and down on the ladder too many times to go back up anytime soon.
Look around your local Goodwill for napkins or tablecloths. You never know what you will find.
Some of my readers have been sending me photos of their napkin valances. LOVE them.
Love the mix and match of color of pattern

Not a big fan of her, but I like the Table cloth idea for the curtains. I think with the napkins, I would have probably done 3 ring clips instead of 2. less droopy, but I see what you are going for with the 2 ring idea. I’ve done this for years at out vacation beach cottage. I found some Adorable tea towels at KMart of all places several years ago. They a different fruit on each one and the name of the fruit is several different languages. Super cute, super cottage-y and super reasonable. 8 towels for 4 windows. SO Easy, instant charming. Easy to change out to something new!
Exactly! Yes, I pondered on the more rings, but used what I already had. I can always pick up another pack though and give it try. I miss K-mart! We don’t have one here anymore.
We are losing our Kmart soon too…Loved the Martha Stewart stuff they used to carry! In my comment above, I said I was not a big fan of Ree, (her recipes and show) but I have to admit the latest stuff at Wal-Mart is pretty cute! I like to hunt the flea markets for vintage miss matched plates, etc., and get a more charming (in my opinion) result!! Keep on sharing! You have great ideas! 🙂
Thanks Margo:) Happy New year to you. xo
Love it love the pioneer with Woman line !
I love Walmart . It takes me 60 seconds to get there.I love the pioneer woman line. I’m running out of space but I’ll figure out something.
I love the napkins! I also some me some Ree! Very very cute!!!
Thanks Gwen!
I became very excited when I saw this with the napkins as a valance……I have been trying to decide what type of window treatment for my breakfast area. I absolutely sat back in my chair and was blown away with the simplicity and beauty of this idea! I will be looking for napkins very soon! Awesome!
Ahhh wonderful Patricia! enjoy.
Love your ideas. Going to Wal Mart tomorrow to do this!
I think you are right, these are perfect for you. I love your kitchen, it is one of my all time favorites.
Thank you Marty! You will be having fun decorating your new kitchen in your lovely new place.
I love the Pioneer Woman. I have 2 of her Cookbooks. I was glad that her line came to Walmart , as much as I don’t care for Walmart. I love your ideas using her stuff. Her website is so much fun to browse.
It is a lot of fun! Thanks Christy.
By the way last time I thought about doing your ideas. I had checked on Walmarts website, before I headed and the salt and pepper shakers were out of stock at all the Walmarts by me. I was going to try the cute snowmen.
Oh WOW! That’s funny. I think they went wild on pinterest lol!
Debbie, I love the napkins and tablecloth window covering. I love using items fot completely different reasons then intended!!! Great job in adding some warmth and color to your kitchen. I always feel so let down when the Christmas decorations get packed away….my home seems blah! Okay, off to look at my linens to bright up my home. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Kathleen. It makes a world of difference for sure during the winter months to have some color and cheer!
What a wonderful idea! I like both the valances and the tablecloth curtains.
I love it!! Definitely a winner!!
I love the Pioneer Woman, and so does my daughter! Her Christmas list was full of the Pioneer Woman’s line. Love your idea of the curtain napkins. They look so adorable! Sometimes I wish I had naked windows instead of woven woods so I could swipe out window treatments whenever I wanted. Your napkin curtains are not droopy. They would look funny if they were straight across with all the extra rings. They are perfect the way they are! Never thought of using a tablecloth for drapes. You have such good ideas, Debbie. I’ve been looking high and low for drapes in my diningroom. Guess I need to start looking for tablecloths. Love your new stencil The home is where our story begins. I definitely have to purchase that one! Thanks for all the affiliated links, sweet friend! They are very helpful.
Thank you Nancie! Happy New year to you and your family.
Debbie,
Your kitchen and dining room are lovely. I like the valance of napkins. I’ve used bandanas in the same way in my den and craft room.
I’ve just become a subscriber to your blog this week, and am looking forward to inspiring ideas from you in 2017.
Happy New Year! God bless you!
Thank you Marcie! It’s great to have you along. Happy New year to you as well.
I LOVE IT!! but my husband does not, because he knows I’m headed to WalMart to recreate it!!!!! Actually it will need to wait until Spring because I got all new curtains, table runners and kitchen towels at a garage sale (all new, still in packages!!) this summer that have been waiting to go up on January 1st 🙂
hehehehe..well husbands can’t hate on me too bad, I don’t cost them that much:) Have fun and Happy New year Barbara.
Debbie, I think your curtains are so cute above your sink and in your dining room. You are so creative to come up with those ideas. Could you please tell me how you got the 3 ceramic plates to hang above your stove? I can see that they all have plate holders on them but how did you get them to hang on your tile without damaging it? I have something I want to hang on the tile above my kitchen sink and I haven’t been able to get anything to stay up. Thank you in advance for any suggestions that you have.
I used some sort of sticky hangers that had a hook. I will admit though one fell off and broke:( I don’t think I would try that again, unless I put a nail in the tile. Which, I don’t think my husband would be happy about.
Wow!!! Debbie!! As I am a new subscriber to your site since this summer, this is the first peeking I’ve had into your home!! Just lovely!! I want to come live with you (and Karianne from Thistlewood.. Hehe). I love country… always have since the 80’s when it was “the thing”!! I live Walmart, but forget to peruse the Pioneer Woman line. I certainly live what I see in your kitchen!! I adore cows, pigs, chickens, roosters, etc. and that cow is ș absolutely previous!! I will Have to find one!!!
Thank-you so very much for this post and an in – depth look into the Pioneer Woman’s Line!!! Again.. Your kitchen is lovely… I want it!
Sorry for all the exclamation points… but they do show how Excited I am about this post. Can’t wait until your new stencil comes out.
Take care.. Happy New Year 2017
So nice to have you Denise! You haven’t seen my kitchen before? I usually share it per season. My last share was Christmas in the kitchen and then before that it was Fall:) Welcome. I look forward to seeing you again. Happy New year. XO
I think the napkins look cute in the window and I love the idea of a tablecloth for curtains. Very clever! I need new curtains and will definitely be looking at tablecloths. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome Melanie!
Wow Debbie you better get some kickbacks from her line. You sure have a great collections. I keep my table set year round with something pretty. We always use the island to eat at so I don’t have to move it all every time we want to eat. Happy New Year!
Happy New year Dawn!
Debbie, Amiga!! You are Freakin TALENTED!!! I LOVE it!!!❤ Great ideas, my daughter, hubby hate Walmart? I absolutely ❤ Walmart!!!
Blessings Amiga❤?
I get it for sure! Happy New year Rosalie. xo
Love it! I won’t go into Walmart (Hellmart) due to the noise and crowd levels, but I will look online. I just wonder how many people have had heart attacks or strokes upon going to Walmart???
Brenda
Oh gosh, I hope NONE! But I do get it. It can give one severe anxiety!
There are always ambulances in front of the Walmart near us. I love your idea for using the linens for curtains. I refuse to use paper napkins, I’ve always used cloth napkins, so I may just pick up some new ones, I was thinking that I could also use some to make covers for my appliances. I hate the stuff that seems to collect on my mixer.
Sounds like a plan! Have fun.
Love the new look! The colors mixmatch perfectly. I’ve stewed over those cute little cows myself but have no place for them….
They are so adorable:) Happy New year Jeanie.
People need to get over not going to Walmart. Are they afraid someone might see them? You don’t know what you are missing. Why go to a higher end store when you can get the same look for less. Good thing some of them won’t follow me around. I guess they would die if they went into a thrift store! They don’t know what they are missing. Great job Debbie!
A lot of my readers love thrift stores too. I think Walmart can certainly be over stimulating for some. I do agree with you though on their goods. You simply can’t beat the prices.
Dearest Ree, you just keep us with so much great ideas and love for our homes and of course yours thanks so much XXX Sincerly Patricia Robinson
So pretty Debbie. I love the colors and it is genius to pin them up for curtains. Looks so bright and cheerful. Happy New Year.
xxoo
Kris
Love the way you used all of the Pioneer Woman’s linens…love the tea towel valance and the tablecloth drapes!!!…..HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DEBBIE!!….Yes, bring on Winter!
Happy New year Shirley to you as well! XO
Debbie,
When I saw the mismatched napkins by the Pioneer Woman I was not a fan however after seeing how you used them to dress your windows I am pleasantly surprised?
This is such a pretty and whimsical look, Debbie…I really love it! You really did give your whole space a fresh new feeling! Wishing you a wonderful new year filled with health, happiness, love, and creativity!
Perfect! Love your ideas! Thanks!
Did you find or make the Hershey’s lamp? It’s so cute! Love the Pioneer Woman items. I have been looking for ways to display it. I’m headed to WalMart to get a tablecloth for curtains. Love the idea!
Hi Connie, that is a hershey candle I put under the mason jar light:)
I, too, fell in love with the Pioneer Woman line st Walmart! My dining room and kitchen curtains were made using a tablecloth and napkins.
Your napkins and tablecloth curtains are ADORABLE…so so cute
Debbie I love your kitchen and the idea of those napkins as a valance blows me away. I saw it some time ago and didn’t know how I could use them. My kitchen window curtains I am tiring of, so I need to find some red gingham check cloth napkins for the valance and no more tiers for me. I am going ahead and purchasing Levelors….as the sun comes shining through in the afternoon heat and plus the curtains get soiled more quickly I found. Great idea! Love it! When I get the kitchen window completed I will post a pic. Thank you….miss your blog, but happy you tune in once in awhile.
I love this! I am looking for something to spruce up my 3rd grade classroom and I love how this helps me do the job cheaper AND I can easily change out the décor to freshen things up from time to time as well as add some seasonal color throughout the year! I was already thinking of using the clips but I was thinking just fabric. I love using napkins!
Oh my gosh! I loved this article! The title “PW Linens Gone Wild” is a hoot!! My kitchen is starting to look much like yours! I want “P-Dub” EVERYTHING!!! Thanks for giving me ideas of even more ways to incorporate it!
I did the napkin valance (exactas the same as yours), and I get tons of compliments constantly. Everyone loves the fresh, airy, and bright feel that my kitchen now has. I saw this post months ago, and had to order the napkins online as they didn’t have them in any of my local Walmarts. We were in the process of buying a house, so I was super excited to move in and put up my napkin valance. I had a set of kitchen curtains, also Pioneer Woman, and couldn’t figure out what I wanted to do with them. I didn’t want to take down my valance, Tonight, I had a stroke of genius, and went to the garage where we have this enormous picture frame that wasn’t being used (I bought it at a yard sale, and only used this wire tree that was on the backboard of it-it was designed to hold several snapshots, but I wanted the tree for my bedroom decor). I ironed one of the panels to the set, and carefully wrapped the backboard in it, taping and gluing in place. Now I have a beautiful piece of art to hang in my kitchen on the blank wall next to the built in shelf my Pioneer Woman dishes are displayed on. Time for a glass of wine in my new Ree stemless wineglass! Ha!
Absolutely loved it! thanks for sharing
