I am going to admit that I am not a huge fan of cafe curtains (or at least I don’t think I am). But, I’ve got a “problem” window in our kitchen and this might be the best solution.

The window over the sink currently has a roman shade. Apparently the previous owners never closed the shade, but we do. We share a driveway with our lovely neighbors and as much as I like them….I don’t need them to see me in my PJs early in the AM fixing a bottle or getting the coffee going! At 5’2′ though, opening and closing the shade is a bit of a hassle. I practically need a stool…..
Yesterday, I was looking at local neighborhood real estate listings (sometimes I dream that a fantastic house requiring zero remodeling will magically appear and that we can just move, hahah…) and saw this kitchen. What surprised me was that I actually kindof liked the little curtains. And I also love that I could have the curtains made as they do here, so I’ll always have natural light coming in, even when the curtains are closed for privacy. (Keep in mind that these cabinets will be white after the remodel and there will be no natural wood trim.)
So, of course, with this “new” idea in my mind I headed out to the internet to find some inspiration from others.

What do you think. Are you a fan of this style of window treatment in a kitchen, or not?
