A New Curtain & Some Metal Additions

 

Hello, friends.  Here's the other curtain tie back, repurposed as a bathroom hand towel holder.   There's such a small amount of wall space, I think this is a good solution, for what we have to work with.  I've been gradually stocking the bus, with toilet paper, filling soap dispensers, and putting shampoo and soap in the shower caddy.  

Joseph fabricated a latch to secure the fold down door, to ensure no one gets hurt, by pulling it down on themselves.  This is secured to a piece he mounted on  the wall.  He did a great job on it.

I've mentioned before that I love vintage linens, and have picked up some, without knowing how I would use them.  While going through them one day, for another reason, I noticed this one, and wondered if it wouldn't be the right size for the kitchen window.  Sure enough, it fits perfectly.  There was some light staining I worked on, and a number of holes in the lace, which I mended to the best of my ability.  I like that it's unique, cozy, and one less curtain I need to sew.  Neither one of us liked the fabric Joseph bought for the curtains in the kitchen and living area.  I suggested he pick up a drop cloth, which I'll use for the final, dinette curtain.  Almost there!
