DIY Kitchen Awning

I’ve been wanting to make an awning for my kitchen but was a bit intimated by the sewing that it would require.  If you remember, I’m a bit of a newbie at sewing.  But I got it done and am thrilled with the results. SOOOO, check out my latest sewing/DIY/home decor project.

The valences before were not awful…just not awesome.  Sometimes I don’t even know I need a change until the change takes
place and I wonder why I didn’t do it sooner!!


, Saving 4 Six

The window before was just kinda bland and needed something to tie the two sets of cabinets together.  I’m so glad the awning fixed both of those issues.
It was really easy to make too.  All I did was cut my material to size and then hemmed three sides.  At the top of the material, I made the curtain rod opening.  The size of this will depend on the size of your curtain rod.

I wanted a little fancy at the bottom of the awning,
so I sewed on this decorative braid.

, Saving 4 Six

To hang the awning , all you need is two suspension rods.  Feed the awning through the opening you created at the top of the material.

, Saving 4 Six

Then just drape it over the second suspension rod.

I love it!  What a big difference something so simple can make.

    Oh. my. goodness.!! This is SOO cool. We have a blank window right now, and I just bought some fabric, but I’m just not 100% sold on a valance. I hope I can get my hubby to go for this. It would fit perfectly. Ty so much!

    Wonderful! What a great way to add a touch of whimsy to your kitchen. Paired with your Coffee Corner sign, it seems to create a cafe-like atmosphere. I’d be thrilled if you came and linked this up to the Head to Head Showdown, going on right now at http://www.icantstopcrafting.blogspot.com

    Hi Carrie! I just noticed this post by The Frugal Girls. I was wondering how you would do produce this look if I didn’t have cabinets next to the windows? I have only one window in my kitchen surrounded by cabinetry. Looking forward to reading through your posts!

    Hi Jenna,
    I am really not sure that this can be produced without cabinets next to the windows, unless there is a wall on one side and a cabinet on the other (like my coffee corner) or walls or cabinets on both sides.

    This awning is perfect for my kitchen window, with the sun setting on the west side. This is just what I needed to shade out some of the evening sun. Thanks a bunch!
