Camouflage in the Kitchen - Not Your Usual Decor

Kitchen Decor - Camouflage in the Kitchen

The request was to make some valances for the kitchen windows, a table runner, some place mats and whatever else...

So what colors or theme do you want for your kitchen?  Apples, chefs, pineapples, red, blue???? The answer "camo."  Me: "Camo?"  Yes, he wanted camo.  Not military camo, but more the duck hunting camouflage type.  So the hunt was on (pun intended).  I found this "Camo Ground Cover Tan Fabric."  It was just what was needed.  So  the next question was, "What color/s can I put with this to give it a little pop?"  I immediately got a phone call, "What do you mean, color?  If you put in color it would not be camouflage."  I could only use the colors that were in the camouflage material: browns, tans, ....  In the process, I discovered what he really wanted was a table topper not a runner for his breakfast nook table -- another fabric and set of place mats and so forth would include the table runner, but not this project.  So, here's what came about for his camo kitchen.












All were a "hit" including the potholders with the ducks flying over the pond, despite the "no color" mandate.  Fun success.
