Last summer, I took down the venetian blinds in the kitchen to give it a more open, airy look and repurposed some old lace panels to make curtains.
When fall came, I didn’t want to put the blinds up again but wanted a little more covering for the windows. I found some wonderful reproduction feedsack fabric while in Ohio Amish Country and made some curtains that looked great with the autumn, Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations.
I really liked the curtains but I thought they might clash with all the bright reds and greens that go up at Christmas time, so once I again I made a set of curtains using white and red gingham. They were the first things to go up in the kitchen before I began my holiday decorating.
They’re so bright and cheerful that they might be up until Valentine’s Day and into spring.

How cute those red and white ones are. My mother would have left them up year-round. She said a kitchen should be red and white or yellow and white. The end. LOL I keep blinds up on all the windows. The kitchen and the back door look out on my deck and woods, and I don’t have anything at all on them. One of these days. I think I have the blinds, just never put them up last year. I’m too lazy to make curtains, but yours look great! I like the feedsack material. I think that really was reproduced from a feedsack, because I think I have a piece like that.
They look perfect! Very homey.
I love the new lace curtains!! Good job on your work! Check out my blog if I can ever give you an inspiration.
They are all perfect for their season but I’m always partial to lace. Nothing changes a room as much as new curtains.
Lovely curtains and so brightening to the room! Although, I must say, I liked the feedsack ones. 🙂
I love them. I never change my curtains for the seasons. That’s a great idea.
Such a nice change! The red/white is a classic, seasonless look.
I love them and definitely would keep them up through Valentine’s Day! Beautiful!!!!
All of those curtains are very pretty and perfect for each changing season.
I thought decorating your kitchen for the season was impressive but I am in awe that you now have curtains for the season too! My favourite are the Autumnal ones though the Christmas set are incredibly cute. You have a wonderful view from your window.

They all look so wonderful, very sweet and they just say “home” 🙂
Before I got to the end of your post I was also thinking these could stay up for several months since they don’t scream Christmas and yet they are perfect for the holiday…
Wow. You’ve been busy 😉 I like them; especially the red and white ones.
