Repurposed Rolling Pin Window Valance

I have a collection of wooden rolling pins and I repurposed one into a fun window valance during my current diy kitchen makeover.
Here's the supplies that I needed: a rolling pin, a hammer, a finishing nail, red paint, a red marker, and some 1 1/4" hooks.
I wanted to have a phrase on the pin so I printed it out on my computer, and outlined the letters with a finishing nail using a hammer.
Here's what it looks like.
Then I simply connected the dots with a red marker.
The wooden handles needed a little colour.
And I needed a few holes for the hooks.
And then I hung it up in the window.
I hung some of my vintage kitchen gadgets so it looks like a fun window valance. I can easily reach the gadgets and I can change them as I like. The whisk on the right isn't vintage, but I'm on the lookout for one now.
To see my secret for hanging the rolling pin visit my Repurposed Rolling Pin Window Valance blog post here.

Have a question about this project?
I love it! Is that a tiny window or a really big rolling pin?
Cute, by why cover up a window? Is it looking at a wall or something unsightly?
