I love it! That turned out beautiful. And the tie back just really finishes it off.

Fantastic. The cupboard was a great idea, too. The entryway has a very together, welcoming look. Great house.

K, tell Hans his cabinet making is great as well. I like your style house & it looks much sturdier than some Am houses. I lived in Germany 4 yrs in 1970s, so your house is much on the same lines as theirs.

A friend of mine has been wanting a Roman shade. I'll show her your door curtain & she may want one of those if it would fit. It would go over a door that leads to her glassed in patio.

K, great curtain. I wish I could have someting like that but I'm afraid the black line of hairballs at the bottom would ruin the look. :(

Is your Hans of German, Dutch, or Norwegian descent or what is his background? Just nosy. He does good work!

I love that curtain, what does it look like from the back when you are outside of the door? :mrgreen: Only a tiny question from me.

Your house is wonderful. I love older houses. Much more character than these cookie cutters they build now.

In day time you don't see it because it pulls back behind the wall and at night, you can't see it because it's a) pitch black outside - no streetlights here! and b) there are wooden shutters that are left ajar just enough for the cat to squeeze through. :D But I did invest in a nice extra wide backing fabric - Portobello Market from FatQuarterworld.com at 108" wide. :D

Hans was surprised I hung it this way - he said in Holland they hang the pretty side OUT for the neighbours to see! :shock: I said b&#ger the neighbours! I did all the work so I'm looking at the pretty side! :lol:
