Making Do – cupboard curtain
I got wall ovens to replace my old ones, and the taller top control panel required us to remove the cupboard door above the ovens.
I considered painting the interior sides and back and just placing decorative dishes in there. But I really need that space for large cooking pots and pans.
So, I took some left over black and cream toile and made a curtain to cover the opening.
WARNING: If you are a professional decorator or talented seamstress, just look away. This may be painful.
The fabric piece was a bit larger than I needed so I had to size it down, but I didn’t want to cut it in case I wanted to use it for something else later. So I just folded it over… I have a sewing machine somewhere, but don’t staples work just as well??
I also was a bit too impatient to wait till I had a chance to buy a curtain rod, so I nailed the material right to the cupboard top, gathering it and nailing as I went, using a highly crafted science called just eyeballing it.
So there it is. Not perfect. Not awesome.
But good enough, and more importantly… done.
love it!! love the attitude more! <3
