I finished the simple black check valance yesterday and can't believe what a difference it makes. It just screams quintessential FARMHOUSE. Don't you think?
I wish I could show you more but just beneath the cute curtain lies the truth and it ain't pretty. I still have clutter laying about as I empty out drawers and reorganize what goes back in.
In fact, that will be tomorrow's post...organizing a small working kitchen, a kitchen that gets used constantly everyday by a variety of people.
Until then,
xo, Patty
Oh- I love those curtains. I grew up in a farmhouse with green gingham kitchen curtains. They were always so fresh looking but black and white is even more classic. Good job- xo Diana

I went to JoAnns several months ago for black gingham fabric for a kitchen valance, and came home with something completely different that caught my eye. I still love the black checks, and maybe sometime in the future I will go back for the classic black check. I'm thinking it's way cool!
ReplyDeleteBlack and white gingham is so chic and homey at the same time! Love it! ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be great Patty!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly whipped up that valance in no time at all. The anticipation of the grand unveiling is building. :)

The "bits and pieces" that you have shared look wonderful..Can't wait to see the finished project..
ReplyDeleteI do love the black and white check. I always look and red and white and pass right by black check. Isn't that funny? Now I'm thinking I want black & white!
ReplyDeleteI just became a follower this morning by email and have to take time to say how much I love your blog. We just recently bought a farm house style home and your blog is so motivating in giving me some ideas for decorating. The look you are creating is just the look that I'm going for myself, so I'll be stalking this blog constantly for more ideas. The curtains are perfect. Love them! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the valance. I can't wait to see the rest.

My Mom had yellow and white gingham most of my life. I loved when she washed them, hung them on the line to dry and then starched and ironed them before hanging them back up. Love the way your Black and white looks. Loving your lemon pieces too. Had lots of lemons things in my kitchen in my house. Your reorganization is lookin so good.
ReplyDeleteOkay...I'm caught up. Always love reading about and seeing what you are up to.
Your valance is charming, Patty. Perfect for a farmhouse look. I've always loved checks too!
ReplyDeletePatty..Your junk drawer doesn't have the right to be called a "Junk drawer". It's way too neat..Your kitchen looks great..Good job..I love the valence...Are you sure your house is 1500 square ft..Mine is too ( on one floor) with only 2 bedrooms...
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to have that pine island...it is gorgeous and oh so perfect for your kitchen!!
