This is a picture of the edge of my kitchen curtain. The sun has faded it so that it is white instead of the deep red that it is supposed to be. I have been telling myself to make a new one for months now but procrastination struck again. But today was the day. I made myself get off the couch and get started. Mainly cuz my husband was watching nascar and I wasn't interested. lol anyway, moving on....
here she is. It only took an hour from taking the old one down...regaining my breath from the dust storm that occured....to hanging up the new one. I can't believe how simple it turned out to be. Just think what I could accomplish if I put my mind to it. I know, it IS scary to think about.The fabric that I used was from the thrift store. I paid $5 for 5 yards. Now I can't decide what to do with the rest. Maybe some placemats. I am sure it will be awhile if it is anything like the curtain. lol.
This is just a shot of the top of a few cabinets. I just love signs. This one makes me smile.
Your new curtains are lovely. The warm colors blend in nicely. I can't believe you got 5 yards of fabric for $5.
ReplyDeleteNice job!!! I'm the same way....I procrastinate till forever!
ReplyDeleteThe new curtain looks great. I don't have curtains in my kitchen because I took them down because they were plain and blah. I still haven't made any new ones. I don't know if I'm going to. lol Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteWow! That looks great, Lisa! I had to chuckle at what you said about the "dust storm" when you took the old curtain down... I took the one over my kitchen sink down to wash it a few days ago (I'm ashamed to tell you how long it had been since it's last washing...) and I nearly choked to death! *LOL*
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about procrastination... it would scare me to death at how much I could get done if I would just "do it"!!
The curtain looks great! I love the picture of your cute doggies by the way. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteI think the curtain looks terrific. Your kitchen is so pretty. I love signs too and the cabinet tops are great. You could do a runner perhaps? Great deal on the fabric!
