Super Easy Upgrade

Easy!! Yay!! Our house was built in 1966 and has a lot of 1960's quirks.  Our kitchen cabinets are hand-made, built-on-site cabinets, and they are definitely not perfect, but we are not planning on ripping them out any time soon.  We have heard the whole wall would probably come with them cause they're not simply nailed. SOO we have done a few things to try to make them livable.  The cornice over the kitchen sink was so incredibly dated, something HAD to be done.  Here it is before:

 

So country and old.  I decided that, since our cabinets have a lot of paneling anyway, maybe we could just cover it up with some plywood.  We went to Home Depot and bought some for about $4.



After some paint and a few nails, this is what the window looks like:


I'm so glad you can't see the top of the curtain anymore, and I think it looks so much less dated! What do you think??
