A plate-rack creates a perfect window treatment.

Nancy Golden, host of DIY's Decorating and Design, shows how to create three different kitchen-window treatments using plates and plate racks. Horizontal Window Treatment - Find a style of plate rack that you like and that is the right size (since kitchen windows are generally narrow, it's often possible to find a rack that is as wide as or wider than the window).
- Hang the rack across the top of the window.
- Place plates in the individual plate holders.
- Hang ready-made tab-top curtains from the hooks (if the number of tabs is greater than the number of hooks, it's okay to double up and hang more than one tab from a hook).
Vertical Window Treatment You can also use vertical plate holders, one on either side of the window. Simply hang them, display one or more plates on each, and hang a swag of fabric across the topmost hooks, behind the plates (if you've placed plates on those hooks). Plate Rosette A third tip is to take a plate to a glass store, have a hole drilled in the middle, and screw the plate directly to a swag bracket. Then mount the bracket beside the window and use the plate as a rosette to hold the swag.
