e.a.t. and a gallery wall

I've always wanted a little something over this doorway in our kitchen.

And, now I have it!

I purchased some inexpensive 5x5 frames, ran some burlap 

through the printer and voila!

Another quickie project this week was a gallery wall in our powder room.

 We're headed south for Spring Break and I'm hoping to find some 

other 'trinket' to replace the starfish inside the large frame.

Have you been working on any projects this week, small or large?

New Window Treatment for the Master Bath

We had awesome weather this past summer, so much so that I had to pull our old ugly bathroom curtains completely shut to keep some of the heat out.  I needed a shade!

I found a standard size shade at Home Depot for just $20.  I bought it knowing that I would have to trim a couple of inches from each side in order to make it fit inside the master bath window.

I used garden shears to carefully trim right along the thread line.

The garden shears left a bit of a rough edge that I sanded down to smooth it out some.

The header piece required a little sawing.

And here's the final result...fits perfectly!

I just hung it with these little hooks knowing that they'd never be seen once the curtain was up.

Next came a new curtain. 

This is a basic valance (because my sewing ability is very basic) on a tension rod....with a couple of layered pleats at the hem.

The vanity area.....trust me, it never looks this clean.
