Burlap and Bubbles

Leah, my daughter, was home for a couple of weeks and I put her to work. She has a degree in Apparel Design and can sew way better than I ever could sew. I am changing the look of my laundry room and decided to add burlap valances on the windows. I gave Leah the fabric and measurements and then I left to go to a graduation party. When I returned she had finished the toppers, but we thought they were way too short after we went to the trouble of climbing on a ladder and messing with the complicated rods. We tried out several (ugly) ideas and then I had a light bulb moment... add some of my burlap ribbon! Leah came up with the idea of threading the aqua seam binding across the original hem.

Ta da!

My (very) Dear Hubby had painted the walls and ceiling for me when I was out of town on one of my trips. I would like to give the edges of the wall and my cabinets an old look. Maybe when my next burst of energy comes!
