We enjoy the bay window look of our kitchenette. The three
windows open look out to our lanai and out to Osprey Lake.
Lynn made the shades shown at left. We found the fabric at a
fabric store on our way to North Carolina. |
With fabric on hand, we
cut them to size and ironed them to a stiff material. The fused
fabrics are then attached and rolled on to a dowel. Mounting
hardware are all part of a kit designed for this application. More
recently, Lynn recovered the chairs with the same fabric.

By doing a lot of home projects ourselves, we found the savings
enabled us to consider purchases such as upgrading the sewing
machine. This new
Husqvarna
sewing machine from
JoAnn Fabrics
was a nice way to enhance our ability to do even more ourselves. |
 |
 |
One of the first projects that the new sewing machine was used was a
trio of awnings for the windows in the kitchenette. We used a
pattern in a book and modified the dimensions for our specific
needs.
|
|
We installed the middle one first to confirm that spacing and
dimensions would offer the look we intended. |
 |
 |
With all three installed, we like the finished look.
