The spring rains have returned, leaving us with a half-planted vegetable garden for now. ;) So, I thought I'd share a little indoor project!
We recently added a grain sack curtain underneath the kitchen sink. I used to have one made out of drop cloth, but love the added character the grain sacks bring...
I found the AMES grain sack at the Farm Chicks show last year. The other, simple striped grain sack, I purchased at a local antique shop. Both were about $20 each. That seems to be the going rate for vintage American grain sacks.
I once was very fortunate and found a few for $4 a piece... they were pretty dirty but washed up beautifully! I used them to cover these chairs.
European grain sacks can be much more expensive ($30 - $70 and higher),
depending on the condition and the graphics.
My "not-so-secret-weapon" Mom, made the grain sacks into a curtain. Since we opened them up, using both sides, we only needed two grain sacks for this project.
A simple white tension rod (Lowe's) holds the curtain in place.
So glad you stopped by...
Hope your day is going well!
It's very pretty! Especially in your farmhouse kitchen. That extension rod looks really long. I didn't realize they made them that long, and if they'd sag. Yours looks perfect.

That looks great! I have a drop cloth curtain under my sink too. At first I wasn't sure it would stay clean, but it has so it hasn't been a hardship.
ReplyDeleteLove that and your whole sink area.
