Indecisive

I am still undecided on which fabric to use for my mini curtains in the laundry room.  I've spent a lot of time looking online for the.perfect.fabric. and I've changed my mind on all the fabrics I mentioned in this post.  Many of you commented that I should include a bit of red in the fabric so I've been trying to find something that works with that in mind.  Thank you!

J had a good idea.  She suggested browsing through vintage tablecloths for sale to cut up to make curtains.  There are a lot of cute ones, almost too cute to cut up.  It's a great idea if you're looking for very unique fabric.

The photo for this tablecloth available on etsy made me laugh out loud.  The seller's write up is pretty funny too.

How about this fabric?  Who would use this?  And what would they make? That guy is winking AND HIS PANTS ARE UNBUTTONED!!!

I spoke too soon.  A quick etsy search shows that apparently you can buy a shopping bag (to buy tools?) made with this fabric.

Sung to the tune of "Neverending story"

Never ending kitchen projeeeect, aaaaa, aaaaa, aaaaaaa!
It's true.  The never ending kitchen project is still in progress.

This weekend I cleaned the walls, removed the crummy plastic blinds, hammered off old hardware, filled the holes with putty, taped off edges, covered the kitchen with plastic (again) and started painting the walls and the ceilings in the laundry room and kitchen.

I'm going to sew some curtains for the two windows in the back room to replace the yellowed mini blinds that were there before.  The door is also going to be painted white.  Maybe at some point we will replace the plastic edging nearest to the floor and also the floor itself.  In the past these rooms have been painted yellow, pink, green, and off white.  Imagine those colours with faux wood laminate.  Gross.

I'm going to be looking for curtain fabric to coordinate with this red and mint green tile that's in the kitchen and laundry room.

Any favourites?  I like 1, 3, and 4 the best, today at least. (All fabric by Amy Butler)

The cabinets in the laundry room used to be the same colour as the drawers and cabinets in the bottom of the kitchen.  Those will be painted at some point too.
