Raise the Curtain

As I contemplated what my first post should be about, I finally came across a beautiful idea. One thing I loathe is clutter, and in the corner of my kitchen, I have chaos. Our kitchen is a bit on the tiny side, so I store items where I can find room. We are talking about onions on the shelves, potatoes, even a whale of a pale full of oatmeal on the bottom of my butcher block table. I needed to find a way to hide this disorder. So why not a curtain? Here is what I came up with.

Before ( Clutter Zone)





Measure, and pin everything before sewing.



Turquoise paint is a must have in my household



I cut out my own stencil, and painted.



One of my favorite vases!



I love the finished curtain. So clean cut.

Here are my 5 top reasons why I absolutely love my new curtain.

1. The chich curtain cleans up the kitchen. Did I mention how much I dislike clutter?

2. I have been trying to find a way to bring color into my kitchen, so it flows with my dining room. I think this is a start.

3. I adore the numbers.

4. My 14 month old son no longer throws everything on the floor. I am finally relieved of cleaning up onion skins, and oatmeal off the floor.

5. This project only took me 1 hour. Just enough time for me to do when the children are taking naps.

If you have a reason you love my new cutting table curtain, please feel free to post.

Until next time,
Melissa
