dressing up plain white drapes

I blogged yesterday about how I reeeeally want to dress up the plain white linen drapes in my dining room ($15/pair at Ikea... ridiculous). So what to do? Add trim?

Or attempt stenciling a pattern?

I'm tempted to try the latter... even though I'll probably drive myself crazy trying to perfectly paint two sets of drapes. I found a little tutorial here. Either way I'm making my DR a priority for the weekend - wish me luck! Happy Friday :)
