Red Roman Shade

Today for Rednesday,I'm showing you the before of my kitchen door. This was here when we moved in. I didn't like not being able to see out the door. In fact it was driving me crazy. I decided to make a roman shade.I went to You Tube and found some really great directions. I used fabric that I had. Here it is on the floor waiting for the glue to dry on the little dowel rods. I have it weighted down with ME Home Companions. After turning inside out and stringing it, here it is.
I'm sorry about the dark pic-it's so hard to take towards a window. I'm really happy with it. It is complete privacy when it's down-and best of all I can now see out the door!! Here's another view of my new little breakfast nook. Added the red window toppers and the new light over the table.You can barely see the window seat behind the table. It's coming along.
Hope you all have a great Rednesday! Go here to see more.

Red and White Enamelware and Three Bears

I looked around my house this week to find something red to join the Rednesday Party at It's A Very Cherry World and I came up with this little set. The book and the little hand made bears are all from garage sales. I just couldn't pass up that sweet little Mama Bear. And you know I love vintage children's books.
I had to take down my red and white enamel ware from above my cabinet, so I could get ready to paint this week. That should be the last step of the kitchen re-do. I took all the pieces down and cleaned them. Now I can rearrange them when I put them back up. I weeded out some others and decided to concentrate on coffee pots and tea pots.
How many of you collect enamel ware and what colors do you collect? There are so many variations and colors out there. Just trying to get the painting done and I'll show pic's when I'm through. Happy Reds!
