::and lastly

We have the most time consuming change.

Before in my kitchen I had this target curtain above my sink:

Not terrible, mind you, but very average. And much more attractive before I added the pendant (which now bumped into it.) I also had plans to switch it out, but never found the right thing. Then one day, I found a tutorial online on how to make your own roman shade (it's on my pinterest board under home for those curious). I figured I'd give that a go.

Then came fabric shopping. Of course the only fabric I wanted was $30 a yard. I tried to love something else...but it just wouldn't happen. Months and months went by and I just figured I'd have to suck it up and pay the $30 + shipping. And then a magically day came around. I stopped by the discount fabric store on Summer (randomly at the mention from a friend that she had gotten fabric for a project of her own). Well...wouldn't you know it. Tucked away in the back corner of the store was the bolt. Granted...it was a slightly different color than I had hoped for...but nevertheless, there it was. Only 2 1/4 yards left and on sale for $12 a yard. Oh honey, you better believe I was running Black Friday style to the back of that store to claim my property.
