Hello! Because I tend to get tired of things quickly and because our wood blinds had been on the windows the entire 5 years that we've lived here, I decided to change up our kitchen window treatments. I came across this photo and have been drooling over it ever since. So, I thought I'd give it a try. I picked up some coffee bean sacks at my local farm supply store and got to work. It took all of 5 minutes.
I'm so happy with the result and it was so stinkin' easy! How great was it that the coffee sacks fit the width of the window perfectly. All I did was attach them to the inside of the window trim with screws, bunch up the fabric and tie it with hemp twine that I already had. Simple and cheap!
Obviously, this part is just for looks and I needed something for privacy on the lower half of the window. So, I found some corresponding inexpensive fabric that looked like some kind of faux linen, $3 per yard, and sewed some cute little cafe curtains to pull at night. I already had the little cafe rods that I purchased from Lowes years ago. You can't really tell from the photos but the two textures together are wonderful.
Love it! It's something small that makes me smile every time I walk into the kitchen. And because I picked up some extra coffee sacks, I thought it would be fun to share two sets with two readers that would like to do the same, or something different!
There are two of these.......measuring 26 1/2 inches x 40 inches.
And two of these.......same measurements. To enter, just leave a comment! Two winners will be randomly selected and announced on Saturday morning, October 15. Comments will be closed Friday night, October 14.
Have a great day!!

ReplyDeleteSweet idea and equally sweet giveaway. I wouldn't even know where to find coffee sacks in our area. Happy Fall and God bless!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I love how rustic and yet, still clean and bright your kitchen is! I was just wondering to myself "Hey Self?

Maybe you'll win!"
ReplyDeleteSo me and myself decided to post a comment in the hopes we wouldn't have to figure out what a farm supply store was. (I mostly blame myself for that; she's lazy.)
Beautiful bags! Great giveaway... Thanks!

I took a short (aka 2 day) break from blogging and came back with a better attitude: to only post when I had something good. I post about once a day to every other day now. Not only are my posts better, but I am more relaxed about blogging now.

That is an unexpected window treatment. Your neat kitchen and the rustic window treatment surprisingly complemented each other very well! Also, your material is washable. Because of that, you don’t need to replace it often. That is a practical design tip for everyone!
