Hydrangea Home Hi, the "curtains" are just simple painter's drop cloth. They were washed and dried with fabric softener after they were cut to fit. I don't care for sewing so I just folded them over at the top (I thought that added a nice detail). They are hung on a simple tension rod with sliding ring/clips all from the window treatment department at Target. You can see more details on my blog here:

Good luck!

mrscmjenkins super, thanks for letting me know how you hung them, I thought you had a curtain track installed under there. :) appreciate the help and your blog link! cheers!

Hydrangea Home Hi, The valves are actually above the counter to the left corner above washer. It is hidden by a planter. I hate looking at those things! And the dryer vent is accessible under the sink. My husband just made a half wall on the right side of the dryer. Besides that, the dryer is very light and can easily slide out if needed. Hope that helps. Good luck with your project!
