Unique Window Treatments

Window treatments are rarely unique and exceptionally eye-catching, especially when they are the fabric varieties commonly sold in stores. Instead of selecting the same fabric window treatments chosen by countless other people, try something completely unique in the kitchen. If metal scroll decor will match the style of the room, mount a work of metal artwork with scrollwork designs over the top half of a kitchen window frame. This easy project will take finding a work of art of just the right width, but the look is outstanding and completely unique. The iron scroll decor will become a metal valance that will add a touch of privacy without blocking natural light. Hexagon, rectangular, and even round works of iron scroll wall decor can be used to embellish the top portions of ordinary windows.

A Stylish Space for Climbing Vines

Select a work of wrought iron wall art with intricate open scroll work designs, and mount it on small blocks that will bring it out from the wall. Hang it nearby a window that receives plenty of sunlight. Mount a wall planter a few inches beneath the metal art, and line the planter with a plastic insert. Place a layer of pebbles in the bottom of the liner to provide adequate drainage, and fill it with rich organic soil and a beautiful creeping vine. The vine will naturally wind around the wrought iron as it grows, and it will help create a unique embellishment for a kitchen wall.
