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!
