What started as a one day project eventually ended up with three days' worth of work. The fabric that I chose was sheer. It had all the colors that matched with the accent tiles on the back-splash. So I decided to bold it up and pair with red lining to create a dramatic effect.
What was I thinking? For some reason, I imagined Simon Cowell of 'American Idol' judging the panels as "Ghastly" & "Horrendous".
Anyway I removed the lining of both the panels. I decided to go for the sheer look. I went ahead and fixed them up with some grommets to run through the rod. When I held it up against the window I was not at all impressed with the look. It just did not work.
Finally I removed the grommets.....sewed both the edges....hooked on some curtain rings & guess what?? I liked the way they looked. It allows enough light to come through without being obstructive and given its sheer factor I can look out the window and have a beautiful view of my neighbor's homes ..:)
