We have the "walk thru" laundry room that I would not have particularly chosen for our home - but, whatever - we weren't in the position to be super choosy when we relocated back... Charles improved the space by building me shelves for storage of extra paper towels, cleaning supplies etc.. but I hated walking in and looking at the junk up there every single time I came thru the door. My solution, a curtain. I found a rinky dinky pole that had a spring in it to fit windows - i mean, it could be the cheapest curtain rod on the market. I just needed it to squeez in tightly to the space. I have been looking for fabric to make a curtain and actually saw this at JoAnn fabric for $$$$/yard (you would have to custom order and everything.. (i passed) - but I still liked the fabric. I went to Lowes today to get the remainder of the paint for the last couple of rooms and Low and Behold!!! A panel of it for $24. yippee. I turned the panel sideways and sewed up a rod pocket and Voila!
$24 and 20 minutes later - all my problems are solved!... well maybe just this one.
Here's a peak underneath. :)
