The Curtain Reading Log: Stay classy
Around 10 years ago, I bought some old cotton curtains for $20 from a thrift shop. They were too wide for my windows, weren't lined, had sun damage near a couple of the edges, plus some mysterious holes (from bugs?). The bookshelf design ("Bestsellers" was printed along the selvedge), however, made up for these flaws.
This idea for a unique reading log stuck in my brain for a bit, and I decided to run with it. I bought curtain lining and new tape and Deb and I cut down the curtains to a reasonable width for the wall space, discarding the worst bits and even patching the worst holes then adding new tape and the lining. Now when I finish a book, I'll write the title on a blank book spine (there are over 1100 available) with a fabric pen.
The beauty of The Classics Club for my curtain project is that all the titles have already stood the test of time.
