Monday Redesign- Cara’s Kitchen Window
Remember Cara’s window? She wanted something to accent her light fixture and lighten up the room, but block the sun when needed as well. I decided to give a couple options– both of which are great fabrics. Here are my options below:
Window treatments can be difficult to choose from as there are so many different styles. Cara is great on the sewing machine so I thought Roman shades would be a great fit for her. They are wonderful at dressing up a space and are easy to pull up and down. Here is a great step by step tutorial on how to make your own Roman Shades {via Martha Stewart}. When buying the fabric to make roman shades, add 4 inches to the width and 8 1/2 inches to the length. {Cara’s window is 35″ x 47″ so she would need 39 x 55 1/2″ or 43″ x 51″, if the fabric can be turned on its side}.
The first fabric I choose is from Cicada Studio and is called Queen Anne’s Lace. I love this fabric and thought it would be a great fit for Cara’s style. I also love the freshness it brings into the room, as well as color. It is a durable fabric that drapes nicely and is made of 50% Linen; 50% Cotton. {Cost: $68 for 54″x 36″}
The second fabric I choose is Maime Bamboo Thatch from ReproDepot.com and is a more budget friendly option. It has a great color pop and is very budget friendly. It is 100% Cotton and may need some backing so that it’s more durable and lays right. {Cost: $7.50 for 44″x 36″}
Cara, I really enjoyed redesigning the window treatments for your kitchen.
I am curious, dear readers, which fabric do you like better?
