Remember Cara's window? She wanted something to accent her light fixture and lighten up the room, but block the sun when needed as well. I decided to give a couple options-- both of which are great fabrics. Here are my options below:
Window treatments can be difficult to choose from as there are so many different styles. Cara is great on the sewing machine so I thought Roman shades would be a great fit for her. They are wonderful at dressing up a space and are easy to pull up and down. Here is a great step by step tutorial on how to make your own Roman Shades {via Martha Stewart}. When buying the fabric to make roman shades, add 4 inches to the width and 8 1/2 inches to the length. {Cara's window is 35" x 47" so she would need 39 x 55 1/2" or 43" x 51", if the fabric can be turned on its side}.
The first fabric I choose is from Cicada Studio and is called Queen Anne's Lace. I love this fabric and thought it would be a great fit for Cara's style. I also love the freshness it brings into the room, as well as color. It is a durable fabric that drapes nicely and is made of 50% Linen; 50% Cotton. {Cost: $68 for 54"x 36"}
The second fabric I choose is Maime Bamboo Thatch from ReproDepot.com and is a more budget friendly option. It has a great color pop and is very budget friendly. It is 100% Cotton and may need some backing so that it's more durable and lays right. {Cost: $7.50 for 44"x 36"}
Cara, I really enjoyed redesigning the window treatments for your kitchen.
I am curious, dear readers, which fabric do you like better?

It's nice to have the sun lights inside the house especially most of the busy places of the house. But, sometimes, you don't need it because its too bright for you, normally in the kitchen. As it was presented on the picture, it blocks the light that will come on the window, but it was not totally blocked. The curtain design was good for kitchen, it was fitted accordingly to the ambiance of the kitchen area.
Although I love the Queen Anne's Lace pattern, I think the bamboo thatch material fits the design of the room! It looks great.
I like #2 the best!
#2. Love that pattern.
