Are you a professional?

That is the question I asked my sister in law Michelle. She made our kitchen curtains and they look fabulous! It has been about a year since she first offered to make them for us....but with all of us (the 3 Taylor wives lol) being pregnant at the same time, and then with all of us having brand new babies, I thought it would be too much to ask. So when she offered again in April I decided I better have her make them. It took me longer to decide what shape, color and fabric, than the time it took her to make them! She also has a baby who is a month younger than Jacob...so I really don't know how she found the time to get them done in about a week! She is super talented...I tell her she should start her own business because she's so good at what she does. Not only sewing but decorating, renovating, painting, refinishing cabinets...she has endless talents! The best part about her services was that she came over, after having ironed the newly made custom curtains, and she hung them! She is fearless with a drill! She did such a good job! She is like Martha Stewart I tell her...but she's way too modest to take credit for that. I love Michelle! I am so grateful she made the time to help us out with our curtains. We have been living here for 2 years now and have only recently started to actually make our home feel more put together. I guess when we were both working full time jobs, at the end of the day we just wanted to relax, and not worry about anything else. Now that I have been home more I notice all the little and big things that need to be done, changed, decorated etc. It has been fun I must say. (For me anyway...I don't know about Randy, he has done most of the work) So here are the before and after pictures of our kitchen windows...

As a person with little decorating talent/desire, curtains are one of those things that I'm very apathetic about...but when I saw the pictures of yours, WOW! Really cute! (And I'm telling you, I probably never had a curtain thought before in my life.) Good choice, and good work to your SIL!

I love 'em, the curtains look so good! I have to agree, they do look professional! I'd buy curtains from her!
