7 POPULAR CURTAIN Ideas for your Home

(some for sewing)

By Rita Davidson

Sunday was the 2 year anniversary of our fire. What a sobering day it was. We moved in the last dresser, mine; and unpacked my clothes for the first time since our fire July 19^th, 2013. We had been living out of Rubbermaid containers for our clothing since then. There is still so much to do for the house before winter. Tearing out the flooring, repairing moldy walls and basement. Slow but sure. I’m reminded you can never be in a hurry for these things.

We still have no curtains and I’ve been itchy to get my donated sewing machine working! So exciting!

While I have a mending pile to attack including clothing to make more modest I’ve also got some fabric to for some maxi’ skirts. YES! You’ll have to join me on my FACEBOOK Page if you want to see those. 🙂

But I’ve also been looking at curtains as I want to make use of some fabric that was donated and cover our windows. Here are some interesting curtain ideas I shared from my Facebook page I hope you will enjoy?
