Some of these pictures were taken while the house was still decorated for Christmas...Here are the picture of my kitchen and eat in dinning area. This weekend I had Fri, Sat, Sun and Mon off work, so I immediately started thinking about what project(s) I could do. I was and still am thinking about covering my kitchen cabinet knobs in the same fabric I made the kitchen curtains out of. My husband isn't a big fan, but...he's not exactly a decorating expert, so I compromised for the time being and put the fabric over 3 of the knobs with a rubber band just for us to test it out for a period of time and then decide if we'd like to cover the rest or just abort the mission...I suspect he will give in and I will end up proceeding on with the project.
Since that project became unavailable for this weekend I decided to tackle the tiny lamp shade on the kitchen chandelier. I made my own 1/4" bias tape out of the same fabric as my kitchen curtains and hot glued it to the top and bottom edges of the 5 lamp shades. I was most excited about the fact that I didn't have to purchase anything to complete this project. I already had the fabric leftover and all I did was remove the previous ribbon (which was so ugly) from the white silk shades and attach the new trim. FREE! my favorite kind of project!
I've talked a lot about my kitchen curtains...they were my first project for the house and the first time I had ever sewn curtains before. Check them out:
Alright, enough for tonight. I'll update with the rest of the house soon!
