Jamie and Josh’s Painted Roman Shades and Breakfast Nook

I love this shot of the tulips that Jamie took!

Earlier this month Jamie made a new Roman Shades for her breakfast nook to match the one she made a couple of months ago for her kitchen. She made them out of a drop cloth and then just taped off the lines and then painted them in with some brown paint. I have to say when she first sent me a picture of them (back in November) I liked them but didn’t love them. Then when we went up in December to visit I saw them in real life and LOVED them! It’s funny how some things can look so much better in photographs than real life, and other things look so much better in real life than in photos. I actually think Jamie did a great job of photographing them (I took some photos back in December and wasn’t happy at all with them) but still, I wish you all could see them in person because they are fabulous.

Also our “Love Is” 18×18 Pillow Cover Sets are back in stock!

And lastly, I wanted to thank you all for your e-mails and comments full of encouragement after yesterday’s post. That meant so much to us. I hope you all have a wonderful Friday!

Happy Sunday!

  6. Love those shades…honestly if the government would just tap into the TREMENDOUS creativity we see from all these (mostly) Moms out there…we'd have a better world! Just great!
    Keep up the good work…one day at a time…

  7. I love these shades. The drop cloth was a fantastic choice but the stripes are really what makes these look so great. Ironically enough, over the past month I've been considering making roman shades for our living room and have been on the hunt for a good tutorial. Now I'm definitely inspired! I would love to see her tutorial on how she made these. Thanks for sharing!

    1. Hi!
      I got the wicker tray at White Home Collections (www.whitehomecollections.com), this great place here in NH with a mix of new and antique items. I think they just started selling online so there are only 3 items listed, but hopefully there will be many more online options available soon!
      Thanks,

    1. Hi,

      The wall color is Davenport Tan by Benjamin Moore. We love it-we used it in our dining room too!

      Thanks,
      Jamie

  16. The shades are cool but I had a hard time focusing on them because I was too distracted by her beautiful dark wood door – I love it! We are in the middle of remodeling our kitchen and I would love to have that door going out to our backyard.

  17. Cozy breakfast nook and great looking roman shades. How crafty! LOVE those cup and saucers too! Mind if I ask the maker of those pretty dishes? Looking to purchase new white dishes after my spring cleaning of the kitchen.

  18. I fell in love with the roman shade back when you first shared them. Your brother is such a sweetie, he emailed Jamie, so I could find out where she purchased her fabric, little did I know, it was a drop cloth and she created the stripes with paint. Have the drop cloth and paint, can't wait to get them finished! Enjoy your weekend…Shelley

  20. My what a pretty kitchen! The shades are a wonderful additional touch to a sweet spot to visit with a friend. All of you have so much to offer us. Hang in and you will find complainers go on to find something or somebody else to complain about. The rest of us are positive you all are doing a great job!

  22. I always love all of the things you guys make and the shades look great. Love the breakfast nook too.Wish you would sell the roman shades on your website. Iwould buy them for my kitchen. Donna

  24. Just beautiful! All of it! And I for one will patiently wait for any of your products….they are fabulous and worth the wait! 🙂

    1. Hi Karen,
      I used Burnt Umber from Michael's. I think the brand was called something like Artist's Loft, but I might be off a bit!
      Thanks,
      Jamie

  32. Gorgeous rooms!! Would you mind sharing where you got your dishes? (the beaded edge) I've been admiring them in these and other photos you've posted! Beautiful with the rest of your decor! Thanks!
