My kitchen only has one window and that’s over the sink. I like the location, but the window treatment that’s here lacks something. It’s a lace topper over mini-blinds. So, I’ve decided to go a whole different route. I’m going to move the curtains out of the kitchen and use them in another room. In the meantime, I’ve got three of my hand painted, clear plates in the window to offer some privacy from the neighbor’s point of view when they’re outside. These plates effectively screen a full view while allowing light in.

Eventually, I’m going to suspend several of these plates in the window. They are beautiful when the light comes through them and they are very pretty from the outside, too. I’ve got some plate hangers and some lightweight copper colored chain. So, I’ll put long hooks over the window and just hang the plates with various lengths of chain so the whole window is covered.

I actually took a picture of what’s there so far. I just have to get it out of my phone and into the computer! I’ve misplaced my card reader, so as soon as I find that again, I’ll do the picture transfers and show you how things are progressing.
