Of course, doing one quilt design and repeating it nine more times wouldn't work for me. I had every thing I needed, including the inspiration, so it was time to get to work.

I started checking out books on how to make shades, blinds, etc, and stumbled upon the following book:īingo, we had a winner! And as a bonus, the author has a wonderful website and sells all of the necessary hardware necessary. This was going to require a little thought.ĭuring this process, I realized that making my own window treatments could be an option since I do know my way around a sewing machine. When I first moved in, I had no idea as to what I should do for kitchenb window treatments. Here's a picture of the kitchen from the real estate listing. There are a total of 10 windows in the kitchen area. Because the kitchen sticks out the back of the house (in stilts, no less), it has windows on 3 sides, with an eating area in the most well-lit portion at the end. One consequence of this remodeling was windows.
The resulting kitchen was gorgeous, and one of my primary reasons for picking this house when I moved. One of the renovations was a complete redo of the living room/kitchen area by knocking out the porch wall and adding that square footage to the kitchen. When the owner died at age 99, the house was purchased by a younger couple who put a lot of effort into renovations. In 60s, an addition was added that tripled the size and made it into a real house. Because of the slope, the screened-in porch is up a story (on stilts) and the basement was a walk-out in the back. My property is on a hill overlooking the upper end of Lake Zoar, essentially in a bit of a gorge. The original house structure was a small cottage with a screened-in porch out the back. The house I purchased when I moved has an interesting history.
However, I just completed a quilt project that has been almost 4 years in the making, so I think it's time to blog about that one. Shortly after my last post I ended up moving from Boston to western Connecticut and sort of got out of the habit. It's been a very long time since I've updated this.
