We have lived in this house a little over four years now. I does not seem possible but time flies. I have never spent much time decorating or reevaluating the decorations/furniture in the living area. It is kinda an open concept. The living area has big arched opening to the kitchen and the dining room. I did get rid of the tables that I had because they really were not working and for now, I am using a bench with a basket under it as a table. It works for now.
My husband was looking for projects to do. So, I suggested that he create the header/curtain holder thing that I wanted. I had purchased the knobs sometime in the past four years and the project has just been on hold. Well, it is done and it only took a day or two to complete. Here is the results:
I am pretty sure that the board is pine. It has been white washed using the wall paint. If you have not done this, it is more less taking a small amount of paint and diluting it with equal parts of water and then painting it on and rubbing it off after a given amount of time. We decide on 10 minutes for this project. The board has also been roughed up with a chain so that it is not smooth.
Now, it is my turn to get the swag/curtain/whatever you want to call it created. A deep stash dive found this beautiful piece of silk? that I had purchased long ago at the annual sewing rummage sale in Pittsburgh, PA. Here is a glimpse of the fabric:
I will be leaving this rather rustic with the fringe hanging freely from the selvages and the cut edges, and hemming the top edges so there will be a something for the ties to be attached to. Here is the finished topper:
I will probably play with it a little because I not sure that I like the way that it is hanging yet. Also, it might be too close to the wall color. I will wait for a sunny day to evaluate further. It is better than what was there previously which was nothing.
