The Kitchen Window

One of the best things about an old house is that you never know what treasures you might find. 

 

 

 

Above the mudroom closet we found some old pieces of wood with some lettering. 

 

I used a piece of this wood to make a window treatment for a kitchen window.

 

 

I used some white burlap.

 

Hemmed it.

 

 

 Tried using a string to gather it - but that didn't work.

 

 

So I tacked it instead.

It ain't pretty, but it worked.

Then I looped some twine to hang on the existing brackets.

The middle sagged so I pulled an old nail from a wall.

And hammered it through the middle of the board into the wall. 

And there you have it, and old board and a piece of burlap = my new custom window.
