Custom Curtain Valences for My Kitchen

Since my spouse and I bought our old farmhouse from the 1860's 6 years ago, we have slowly been coloring and re-carpeting a two rooms a year. The last two rooms to get a external part lift were the dining room and the kitchen. We chose Dale Mist by Behr found at the Abode Depot for the hue. I must have brought abiding-place 200 represent colors to companion the color to the curtains in the dining room, and the curtains were bought to equal the fabric on the dining room chairs. Then we wanted to represent the kitchen a shadow of green. We resolute to paint the kitchen and dining room the same hue. When my husband perfect painting the walls in the kitchen, I looked up at the valences and meditation, "These have got to go!" So, I took a represent sample to the pile stores in overhaul of home decor edifice to match the walls.

I am very gratified that I know how to sew. We looked into acquisition custom curtains for the library/den in our residence when we redid that room. For 5 windows, the appraise was something like $2,800!! And that did not contain the drapery hardware. The sales mistress told us that we positively had to look at curtains resembling another piece of household goods. I went to Bed Bath and Beyond and bought curtains and rods that direct the eye just charming for under $200.

Now I needed a exemplar. I looked in a volume about curtains that I had bought several years ago. Nothing jumped out at me. Then, I looked online. I found a exact tutorial, but not veritably what I wanted. So, I used the old valences for my archetype - which is actually a very unblended pattern for a valence. I took pictures as I sewed so that I can scribble my own tutorial later on. If you can sew a rectilinear line, then you too could create these valences.

Well, I wanted to support a picture, but blogger is being moderate right now, so I'll try again later. I veritably like the brown with the verdant-blue pile, because it helps modulation of voice the wooden windows. Lodge tuned, I'll column a picture later on today ...
