I live in an old house and when I say, "old," I mean 140 years old! So, as you can imagine, there is a lot of work to be done. Our to-do list is pages and pages long. Our house is full of character and quirks and oddities. One piece of character that I like (or liked at first) is a built-in pass through china cabinet from the kitchen to the dining room. On the kitchen side is sliding doors at the top and on the dining room side is glass doors on top with drawers underneath. Since my current kitchen has a lack of cabinet space, I use this pass through as my pantry. Pretty handy. Except that when I'm sitting on my couch in the living room I can see the dining room side of the pass through and therefore all that I keep in the kitchen pantry. Not pretty. So for about $20 for material and curtain rods, I made some curtains for the inside of the glass doors. Here is the before and after. Excuse the quality of the pictures and the nasty, half-removed wallpaper. Don't worry, it's on our to-do list.
And a close-up of the material and curtain rod. I'm not in love with the material but this was a spur of the moment project.
It's funny how something as small as not having to look at all the stuff in your pantry can make you feel better about your space - no matter what shape the rest of the house is in! What are your simple fixes?
