kitchen casual curtains...

When Fifi was here photographing our home for the book, she asked if I had any Cabbages and Roses fabric, and I said "no" with head hung low
(for I secretly have always wanted some)
no more was said

but then a few weeks after the shoot, Fifi sent me some of the fabric Christina had given her

I kept it folded up in my hutch to enjoy up until recently

I made some very relaxed nadafarm style curtains
un hemmed and frayed...the way I like it

relaxed, a bit rugged, and un ironed




I made a top hem just a bit over an inch wide and strung hemp twine through the top and simply tied it on the brackets on either side of the sink and then swagged it very casual like


of course, my friend Fra and Stacey inspired me


I still have a bit of the fabric left, but have it folded up in the hutch for the future


Cabbages and Roses is just so classic isn't it??
I just love linen

  2. Oh, it looks beautiful Anne Marie! I love how you left the fabric unhemmed and frayed for a simple rustic look. I haven't any C&R fabric either, but will keep a look out for the new fall line.
    What a nice gift, and you've done it justice. :)

  16. Love the curtains, love the fabric. I also love the light over your sink. Does it pull with a chain to turn it on or does it have a switch. I have one over my sink with a pull chain and I'd sure like to find something better. Thanks. Love your blog!!!!

  18. Hi Anne-Marie! Once again your sweet, simple creativity tugs at my heart, and also makes me think, "Why did I ever think of doing that..??" :) I love the casualness and airiness of your new curtains. Fifi is such a sweetheart to send you that beautiful fabric! There's nothing - nothing - more delicious than washed, faded, linen..... ♥

  23. Absolute perfection! Love the fabric, and especially love what you did with it. Your kitchen window looks exactly the way a kitchen window should look (you've got me rethinking mine now) -- I love everything about it! Your personal style just seems to reflect so much purity.
