Curtains and Chairs

Our new home is coming together.  There are only a few things left I have to do to finish it.  One of my tasks was to find curtains for the kitchen.  I've looked everywhere, and I just haven't found anything that I've liked.  I was in an antique store one day looking for a coat rack, and I found a section that was filled with fabric.  I started looking and found the perfect material.  These orange/gold curtains are a silky quilted material.  I loved it so much, I went back and bought the other colors they had in this material for future projects.  I decided I was going to make my own curtains.  So, I purchased a sewing machine and designed these curtains for the kitchen.  Now, I just have to make curtains for the other window in the kitchen, and I'll be done with the kitchen.  

When I was scrummaging through fabric, I found another really pretty fabric that I figured I could use for something.  I used it to recover the dining room chairs.  I didn't realize how easy it was going to be to recover the chairs.  I had a blast!
