Cafe curtain inspiration for the dining room

I say “dining room” lightly, because as you know, our downstairs is pretty much one big open space! We are situated VERY close to our neighbors, so window treatments have to be functional as well as aesthetically pleasing.

Better Homes & Gardens, Anne Decker Architects, Proverbs 31 Girl, unknown I think the key to making this type of curtain look less country is to use rings instead of a rod-pocket or tab style.

I want something very light and airy, so there are pretty much two options with our house’s palette: white or pale blue. The plan is to buy fabric and either use the no-sew iron-on adhesive technique I’ve used before, or ship the fabric to my sister and see if she’ll sew a few hems for me on her sewing machine!
