I think it will look great and besides, what are you using the cloth for now? Is it just tucked away? This way you'd give it a whole new purpose. I'm all for re-use, re-purpose. I think I'd like it better if the blue trim was on the outside of the panel, against the trim of the window. Just my two cents, not that you asked :)Rechelle ~Walnuthaven Cottage~https://www.blogger.com/profile/00532760613588553175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32250132.post-20599440882812500882008-10-29T11:15:00.000-05:002008-10-29T11:15:00.000-05:00Hi Nikki :)I agree with the girls that said to cut...Hi Nikki :)<BR/><BR/>I agree with the girls that said to cut and hang it like the last pic and line it.

I love vintage linens. :) Maybe cut off part of it to use as a valance--or as valance topper and tie backs or whatever combination and some of the cloth as a bottom ruffle/bottom trim--and save the extra fabric for other uses so as to spread it around your bathroom? Maybe some as your window treatment, some as a pillow cover for a little bench or chair, some cinched around a pretty jar, some as a skirt for a chair, some as shelf-trim, some as a matte for a favorite photo or print, etc? That way, you'd get even more use out of it and it would seem like you have a lot of the fabric to work with and it would carry the print/theme around the room. Anyway, I hope you're happy with whatever you decide. It's a lovely find, Nikki. :)Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04587080107116858971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32250132.post-78902528713228143472008-10-28T10:03:00.000-05:002008-10-28T10:03:00.000-05:00Both ways look good to me.

Could you sew some of those little red satin ribbon roses on top of the stains, or would that look tacky?<BR/><BR/>KatherineYellow Rose Arborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17293145838400788866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32250132.post-36168691566080471702008-10-27T21:43:00.000-05:002008-10-27T21:43:00.000-05:00I kind of like it the way it is.

Add some white short curtains to the bottom...you know, the lacey kind that resemble a pillowcase. Or pull out one of the colors on it....just a thought.

I just really like the idea of the use of it in your window. One thing that caught my eye is that when you are considering the cut down the mid section it seems heavy to the eye, and the white next to the frame of your window makes your eye carry over waiting to a resting point, where the original seem to frame the window. I think it would look nice either way, tough choice. Can't wait to see want you decide.<BR/>Best WishesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32250132.post-53665980370916401622008-10-27T05:53:00.000-05:002008-10-27T05:53:00.000-05:00I think it makes a more dramatic statement the sec...I think it makes a more dramatic statement the second way, and I say go for it! xxooHarbor Honhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311482342041164790noreply@blogger.com
