Curtains out of napkins? Yes I did!

I have been feeling really blah.  A constant tickle in my throat has about put and end to me.  So...I decided to tell you what I did this past summer...

I decided on a whim...I do that ALOT to research all white kitchens.  They are so pretty.  I have extremely high hopes to do major demolition in my kitchen one of these days.  I swoon over IKEA kitchens!  I have everything planned in my head...ask me and I can tell you just what everything is going to be...but then reality is reality and my dream kitchen will just have to wait until we feel comfortable in this economy to make the leap.  I lay in bed one night and decided the next day I was going to do my version oof an all white kitchen.  Mine has just a hint of vanilla to warm it up a tad.  Anyway.  Brittany and I had a whole week off from dance and I figured since I helped her so much she could help me and she gladly did.  We took five days to paint...no wait...that's right we weren't off of dance it was our first week of summer classes.  What was I thinking?  We managed to get the whole kitchen done including cabinets and walls.  Do I like it? Yes, it'll do until I can create the kitchen of my dreams.

I opened up my two windows so that I could get all the light I wanted in there.  I really wanted to cover the door for privacy sake...wondering through target I found the cutest linens for tables.  I fell in love with the bright golden, yellow lattice set.  So I bought one pack of napkins, a new curtain rod and one of the best inventions by far...aka "the curtain clip".

Home we went with new towels and rugs and cute little things that we saw in the kitchen isle...who knew that diviner napkins could make the perfect cafe curtains for my door.  All the work is already done for me and I love the results.

I also purchased a matching tablecloth to tie in my dining room to my kitchen...I have a thing with that.  Then, after falling in love with my new yellow curtains I decided that I didn't need th tablecloth after all...I would make curtains for my dining room from the tablecloth.  It took me about five trips to different Target stores but in the end I was able to find enough of the same pattern and size to create my curtains.  Then, feeling so proud of myself I have seen it since all over Pinterest of ladies doing the same thing.  Oh we'll...great minds I guess.

I'm having trouble posting pics on my iPad so as soon as I figure it out...I'll post them.

Sunday blessing!
