Cute-ify!

A Project long in the making: a sweet valance for our kind of modern, yet still wanting to be 1920's kitchen. Finally found the perfect fabric for it at the Red Bank, NJ antique barn.
(Mitts to the left were a project from last year...pic on right is by the fabulous Aunty Cookie)
I took a table/dresser runner which is beautifully embroidered, cut it down, hemmed it & added hanging loops out of thread I had chained (is that how you say it?). Like a tailor's tack, but longer & looped. Add an Ikea curtain rod for $4-$5 & voila! Sweetness!

  1. I love this! What a great idea, but I'd probably have to scotch guard mine if I did this.
