Things From My Childhood Are Trending...

When I was 5 and we moved from my grandparent's old farmhouse to a camp in the woods, we had no kitchen cabinets. And so, my mother made curtains to cover the pots and pans under the plywood counters. Now, in my house, the cabinet doors are warped, don't close correctly, and one is split where the hinges screw into the side of the cabinet. Remembering Mom's curtains, I thought I'd make some to replace the doors. New cabinets are no where close to being in the budget anytime soon, and curtains would be a cheap fix. I wouldn't mind curtains anyway. This led to me looking on the beloved Pinterest for ideas on how to mount them cheaply. Wouldn't you know it- the curtains which were born out of necessity, are now a trend!!! Well, they used to be commonplace before the '50s, but now they are coming back as a fad! Now I feel old!
