A Quick Kitchen Area Update

We don't really need window coverings for privacy or light control on most of our windows.

This kitchen window has been bare for over a year since we moved in to the house. I really felt it needed something to finish it off a bit. I would have loved to get a custom woven shade, but that's just not in the budget right now.

So....I ordered these great off-white panels from jcp.com (love their home items at great prices). Each panel was only $19.99 and I had a free shipping coupon...can't beat that!

I decided they needed a little something something...So, I took some 4 inch wired burlap ribbon I had on hand for a bottom trim.

I used fabric transfer to add a knife, spoon and form image horizontally to the ribbons. I put the ribbon 14" above the bottom hem.

It just makes the panels a little more "me".






Another look for less...gotta love that.

  1. Love, love, love your new drapes in the kitchen! I'm a drapery fan myself and think windows look better with a little fabric to soften the edges. I love how they coordinate with your chair slip covers. You are quite clever the way you used the burlap ribbon and transfers. That just makes it! Thanks for sharing.
