Curtains instead of cabinet doors.

My grandmother always used curtains for cabinet doors and in door ways. Instead hang curtains you could use some leftover fabric from a failed. Leaded glass and stained glass are traditional solutions but industrial windows and doors can create a similar effect though in a much more contemporary way. I have used curtains as doors for years it softens sound and i like the look.

There s an easy way to reduce the cost. I love the soft look of it. Cabinet width 30 this measurement is more flexible. The extra amount for gathers was 20 which fell between 1 5 and two times greater than my cabinet width.

Then allow for 3 4 or so for each hem. Reminds me of my grandmother. No we re not talking open shelving. Remember to add 1 5 to 2 times the cabinet width.

Fold the top of the curtain around the strip so it s hidden from the front then staple or nail the strip and the part of the curtain that will be behind it onto the face frame of your cabinet. Wire mesh and screens can actually be very attractive especially in a farmhouse style home where the mesh or screen will give the kitchen a country feel. And then there are etched glass screens awnings and more. You d need a heavy duty staple gun or you could also use upholstery staples kind of like u shaped nails.
