slo’s WEDNESDAY poll - Kitchen Window Treatments

[slo]

What’s type of window treatments are in your kitchen?
(multiple choice)


For Me…..One large window with blinds inside the window and a valance over the window.
The valance is two valances sewn together.
My kids don’t know anything else - they’ve been looking at this valance for 19 years. It was in our old house on 2 separate windows and when we moved 17 years ago I took the valances to a seamstress so she could sew them together. I keep telling myself I should redo the kitchen, but then I tell myself that if it makes me sad to throw away the valance and paint the kitchen a different color then I should leave well enough alone. It’s not like the valance looks bad and outdated. The struggle is real…..

I have a straight valence I made many years ago. It is on the window above the sink.

shades......to be specific Roman shades.....3 windows and French door in kitchen all have them

We have blinds on all our windows and valiances in the living room.

I have 5 large windows (over 6 feet tall) and a sliding glass door. One window is on the side of the house and has a wood blind for when it is sunny so the hard wood does not get discolored. Everything else is across the back (technically extends into part of the great room) I have 0 window treatments on them and love that they are open. We have a walk out below so we are up high. There are trees/ wooded area behind our property, but during the winter I can see the neighborhood behind us, but they are considerably lower and about a 500 yards away. I love having it open with no window treatments blocking the outside.

Had valances in the old house that I made. Was sad to leave them.

2” Blinds on the kitchen window.

I have light curtains that are enough to filter the light but still keeps in bright in there since we only have one window. They are also clipped up so easy to remove and wash. I wash them and my rug about once a month or so

2 small window
Mini blinds I’m constantly cleaning and a checkered valance over them - black and white - big box check - looks nicer than it sounds

 

[mamamary]

I only have one window in the kitchen. We recently painted so when I took the valence and mini blinds off I just threw them out. I bought a new valence but not blinds as I never used them anyway.

My kitchen/dining room window treatments are super granny frou frou. Love it!

White vinyl roller shades (with fringe!) and white cotton valance and tiers with crochet accents. I have two sets of curtains so I can swap them out for the wash. One set is a heavier duty cotton duck, the other is more like cotton lawn.

Edit: I better explain the heavy duty shades. My backyard is enormous and all of the trees in the backyard are shortish fruit and ornamentals that are planted near the back of the lot. So we have a sunny expansive backyard, which is so much fun! But the kitchen and dining room face directly to the south overlooking that beautiful lawn. So we get a vicious DEATH RAY every afternoon. Blinding, can't sit comfortably in the kitchen or dining room bright light. So hard core Grammie vinyl shades.

That valance is beautiful. Never let her go!

Very pretty kitchen!

 

[Ginger R]

I only have 1 window in my kitchen so i just have kitchen curtains on the window. The window has a half circle on top so wouldn't be able to do a valance.

 

[Moliphino]

I have nothing on the kitchen windows.

 

[NAB]

Curtains.

They been up there a long time on the patio doors. We are south facing so gets pretty hot . They are lined so keep the sun out and good when I close them at night at supper time so the close neighbours can’t see in at night.

I only have one window; it’s floor-to-ceiling in the corner of the room. It has a sheer drape on it; the same as the ones in my living room. It’s far away from the stove and sink so it doesn’t get greasy or splattered; it’s a pain to take down and wash but it only needs it once a year.

 

[MIGrandma]

One window over the kitchen sink. Country blue mini blinds with a brown/cream valance decorated with chickens.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I think a Roman shade and a valance for over sink window. Regular shade, curtains, valance on door window that leads out to back porch.

 

[LoveSpringsteen]

Nothing on my kitchen window which is over the sink. There's some decorative tile above it which I like. We do have room-darkening curtains over our sliding door in the dining room which is attached to the kitchen. That sliding glass door lets in a lot of sun and is not very weatherproof.

 

[PollyannaMom]

The window over the sink has a valance. The slider is really in the "family room" (but it's kind of all one room) and that has mini blinds between the glass (the only kind I'll ever buy again. - I hate cleaning blinds!!)
