Kitchen Curtains
I don’t sew. I wish I could, but I am just not good at it. I hope to start practicing and at least be able to make a basic straight line someday, but for now, I don’t sew. So, when I am on the hunt for new curtains and all of the pretty options are out of my price range, what do I do? I get out the iron and the hem tape and I “fake glue” myself a pair.
Remember these kitchen curtains?
The valances above the windows were here when we moved in. They were fine. Actually, they were god quality and in good shape. Just not our favorite color choices. The curtain on the door was brought from my old house. I used it to cover the window temporarily, until we could figure out what we wanted in here. Now the floral curtain is on the door window just beyond that, which leads outside. After all these months of looking at these mismatched curtains, I finally wanted to get busy. I knew I wanted something more neutral, as we plan to paint in the near future. I liked the shape of the valances, and I didn’t mind the deep red roller shade (for now?). Then I happened upon the perfect twist of fun stripes and neutral colors…
Ticking fabric. A little rustic and old school, yet funky and fresh as curtains. The cream/tan combo will go well with the new colors to come. And I tied the faux roller shade with twine.
And I did all of it with iron on hem tape, even the tab tops! What do you think??
More projects to come 🙂
Fishy Fishy
No cleaning, no housework, no projects. We went fishin’! Summer is finally here, so although this isn’t decor related, I thought I would share our fishin trip with you. I caught this pretty Sheep Head guy. And Tony caught this bity bull head. He caught two of those tiny babies, but my fish definitely won me bragging rights for the week 😉
My fish.
Tony's fish.
We packed a lunch and spent the entire day catching some sun (not many fish) and enjoying the peace of being at the canal. It was a great day. Now back to the work-week. Hope you had a great weekend, too!
