add colour to my kitchen #3

It's a slow process but the kitchen is starting to come together. We were given a table and chair set that we're so greatful for. Four chairs that match and aren't broken!!! A friend was moving out of town and gave us some houseplants so I put one on the table. I found a basic white curtain rod at Ikea for $1.99 and the curtains were from the boys room in our old place (which is why they are too short!). They don't look the best- I'll switch them out eventually but for now it keeps the sun out of our eyes while we eat dinner.

So here it was before...
And here it is now...

  1. Your kitchen is looking great!
    Why not add a second contrasting colour on the bottom of the drapes to add for length? saw that in friends living room and it looked amazing!

  2. I LOVE your kitchen re-do! You've balanced out the curtains with the wall hanging perfectly! And that is a great table and chairs! I like anons suggestion about adding onto the drapes -- if you sew? (I don't!) You could even get creative with safety pins, clothes pins, etc. Seriously. People will think you are so ingenious.
