Looks beautiful! My preference is for clean lines -- like a roman or straight blind. Tami

I am in love with your kitchen! I can't believe you and your husband and his talented friend renovated your kitchen yourself. It is so beautiful! I love the cabinets, the crown molding, the counters, the floors, the island and that gorgeous Arabesque Backsplash that I am now thinking I may want to use. Do you have a link where it was purchased at?

For your window treatment, how about Sheer Horizontal Comfortex Blinds in either Champagne or one of their many whites. I used Champagne for my family room but I have BM Bone White walls so you may want their Snow color or one of their colors.

If you keep them closed, they allow privacy but still allow light to come in and are beautiful and elegant and not as costly as the Hunter Douglas ones. They are not as nice as the Hunter Douglas ones but they can be bought online at half price and it cost me half price to buy them and have them installed by a place about 1 hour from here. But your husband is handy so he can install them.

You can even get them in a gray color if you wish to add a little color to your room. This way you can turn them sideways for more light or raise them totally to have total light entering the room.

STUNNING!!!!!!!

Will you come decorate my house for Halloween--with purple and black, too?!?!?!?! :-)

Gorgeous!

Just beautiful! You must be so proud- 18 months, wow!

I vote for no window treatment since you say you don't really need it.

Your kitchen looks absolutely gorgeous! And I think the purple accents are lovely and match quite well. Of course, I never complain about purple. :)

The one thought that occurred to me about window treatments when I read your post: your RV is blocking anyone from seeing into the window, so as long as the RV is there, you don't need a treatment that covers the window - but when the RV isn't there, that's exactly when you'd want the window covered (assuming that when the RV is gone, you're away for a few days). Maybe a tension bar between the cabinets would work to hold a "closing" treatment when you're away, but wouldn't get in the way on a daily basis?

*sigh*

I just love those tiles.

Glad to help, I'm so happy that it went smoothly for you. The grouting was a bit tricky, but it is so worth it.

Thanks all! I was thinking a window treatment would bring in some color to the kitchen. Maybe I can do something like a no-sew faux Roman Shade and put up with tension rods? Like here: http://evolutionofstyleblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/no-sew-all-faux-roman-shade.html

It was Bee! For some reason the piping bag didn't work at all for us so DH just slapped on the grout with the paddle, and I went behind him taking all the extra grout out with my fingers. Which destroyed my nails and my hands are SO dry today. But it was worth it and worked out well once we got into a groove.

These tiles look familiar?! http://www.bhg.com/kitchen/color-schemes/neutrals/white-kitchens-we-love/#page=2

So beautiful! You made lovely choices. Congratulations on a job done superbly!

Slush1422, What color grout did you use and brand? Are you sealing the grout? The grout color is perfect with the tile in my opinion for the look I love.

If you want some color in the kitchen, I do like the Roman Shade idea.

Your kitchen is so gorgeous! I appreciate you for sharing.

Just beautiful.

Simply beautiful! And you can be doubly proud of it because you did it yourself. I love everything about it and I am not a white kitchen person by nature. Congratulations and Enjoy!

Cat Mom - all my decor is from either Target, Home Goods, or Michaels - the purple glitter Halloween glam decor is everywhere :) I love it way better than the "spooky ghoulish". Especially since I have little ones and they are not frightened of my decorations. I'm even hosting a Bunch Night for the girls with a "Glam-o-Ween theme in a couple weeks. Can't wait to put my kitchen to good use!

Not sure why it duplicated my post or how to delete it?

Lynn2006 - Thanks to beekeeperswife's tips, we used Latricrete's Perma Color in bright white. We had to get it at a local tile store since they don't carry it at Lowes or HD. One bag was $17 on special :) We barely had enough, but mainly because we wasted a bunch in the beginning trying to figure out the best way to grout.

Ooh--I'll have to hit those stores! And where/when is that glam-o-ween gathering? LOL

Thanks!

CONGRATULATIONS! wonderful choice!

Wow, that is absolutely beautiful. Love the backsplash, and those gorgeous counters!! Congrats on your beautiful new space.

It's gorgeous. I'll say it again, your dh is an artist.

Your kitchen is gorgeous and that tile is equally gorgeous. Your corner is perfection - what a fantastic job!

Slush-absolutely amazing! Beautiful. My first thought was roman shades also. I can't believe this was a DIY!
Want to hear about your cooking adventures in this gorgeous kitchen!

Thanks again everyone!

Lynn2006 I forgot to post the link for the tile. I purchased mine through Mission Stone Tile (after winning a $300 GC in a FB/Pinterest contest).

I found it at this place also but am not sure it's exactly the same. http://gstile.com/products/product/beveled_arabesque_tile/arabesque_white

Thank you Slush1422 for the link! I love your kitchen so much!
