We then got to work sanding them down (they were a little rough) and then priming & painting.
Once dry, we put the outlet covers on...
I was looking for white cafe curtains, similar to what we had in the old house kitchen. Unfortunately, those curtains were too short to re-use (and had already been put up the well house windows- you can sort of see them out there in the pics above!) I couldn't find similar ones anywhere in a store... I prefer to buy them in person to make sure I like the feel of them! BUT- I did find these, which I decided to try out and see how we like them.
There weren't curtain rods that were long enough to run across all 5 windows (we needed it to be over 9 feet!) And I'm hesitant to drill into the newly finished trim anyways! But I found these oil rubbed bronze pressure rods, and I got the little rings so that the curtains open & close easily.
I'm pleased with them so far! I was worried the pattern would be too much, but I think it works brining in more blue to contrast the yellow.
