String curtains

Posted on 17:31 by kumar
True, I did buy these new but I'm telling you I'll have them until they disintegrate.

Why? Because I love my string curtains purchased in a shop on the Danforth in Toronto four years ago.

First, they make wonderful curtains because they provide privacy yet let diffused light in.











But they also make cool room dividers.

I took off all the doors in my last apartment, which was long and narrow, and hung these curtains in the doorways.

I love the look ... wah I'm feeling nostalgic for my old space ....
