Oh, the beauties of having another older home, the fun little projects that come, just a little sarcasm intended. :) I do like the small projects.
After years of surviving the ugliness, but practicality of mini blinds I have to share this, what I wish I'd known about three homes ago. Some industrious chick- not me- figured out how to make Roman shades out of blinds. Pure genius I say, they still function perfectly, but without the dust and no style of mini blinds. Plus, I'd purchased a pattern to make Roman shades and it completely intimidated me with all the supplies I'd need. I think they're just about perfect in the kitchen. I'd never worked with the Fabritac glue she recommended, but it did give me some fits. I had to spread it very thin with a plastic spoon to avoid having it bleed through the fabric and show, but overall, it's an easy no-sew project.
Much better, don't you think! Check out her tutorial and dismantle your blinds, it's liberating!

Looks great Tanya! How did you find the little green notebook site? A cousin of mine told me about it (it's a friend of a friend of hers). I am wondering if she is more "widespread" than I realized? Don't you love the remodel of her girl's room?
Love it!
Those are awesome! I wanna make some now!
Ooh, I love those! That looks like one that maybe even I could do!
I have a 'thing' with Roman shades. I want them badly but I was to intimidated to try to make my own, and I didn't want to go broke on the shades. This is a perfect option!! great idea. :)
It looks beautiful Tan! I so wish i could do that.
