All moved in and (mostly) unpacked! Party time!
One of my first projects for the new house is kitchen curtains. Maybe I should specify SEWING projects, as the non-sewing projects we’ve already done on this house are innumerable. Yesterday I drew some mockups and picked out fabric. I still haven’t decided between the two designs.
Try to look past the weird graininess- I was using picture of the kitchen from the online listings and they are teeny tiny and crap quality. But I’m too lazy to take my own, plus the kitchen has lots of boxes stacked all over the place, so it wouldn’t have been a very helpful photo anyway.
My dilemma right now is that bottom curtain – bows or scallop top? I’m kinda leaning scallop. I like the idea of the bows, but I’m scared they’ll look a little too… precious. A precious kitchen I shall not have!
I did decide on the fabric. Michael Miller’s Fifties Kitchen and Dumb Dots:

This was my runner up… I don’t know how I resisted the little anthropomorphic dishes. In fact, I think I’ll probably wind up using it for cushions on the Future Kitchen Bench Project I have planned.

If my vote counts, I would not go with the bows. It looks too fussy. Love the fabric, though!
scallops for sure. They go well with the whole 50’s thing. Makes me think of the weird (awesome) amorphous coffee tables.
Scallops, it is, then! Thank you, ladies!
I vote NO to bows…. unless they are Le Bows… that is…
mostly they are too quewt for ewe….
and scallops can also be about Pooo-TAT-ooohs too.
The scallops would look great with a twisted valance to echo the shape up top. Would need to be lined with the coordinating fabric and the rod pocket sewn down the middle, though.
