...at our house by the lake, we have a first-floor bathroom which has a window close to one of the entry doors; you basically have to walk right by this window to get to the door. As you can see in the photo, the window is located right over the toilet which has a little nook of its own in the bathroom. The original house design called for a frosted window, but since I’m not big on frosted windows, I had it substituted with plain glass with the thought that I would eventually make a curtain for the window.
With my ever-increasing to do list at the lake, I hadn't given it too much thought, especially since no one who stayed with us at the cottage up until now seemed to be bothered about; some definitely commented about it and put it down to one of those amusing "quirky cottage things"... However, when I came back to the lake after our July holiday during which we had some guests staying at the house, there was a towel hanging over the window... Hmmmm... So, I thought about it for a bit and, since I had a little seed of a curtain idea which started germinating in my head when I looked at my baskets filled to the top with vintage embroidered linens, I decided to bump up the bathroom curtain-making project to the top of the list.
Yup, I finally decided to cut up some of those pretty works of embroidery I've been collecting forever now... all very liberating! I played around with their placement, sewed them together however which way I found fit and, I have to say, am quite pleased with the way this jumbled patchwork when placed over a window has a bit of a stained glass thing about it. And, last but not least, the question of privacy in the first-floor bathroom has been put to rest. Thanks for the visit and please pop by again soon as my next post coming up shortly is shaping up to be very sunny!...
