Barossa Design Buffalo Check Window Tier Curtains, Red & White, 28 x 24 in, Set of 2

The classic red-and-white check every cottage kitchen is built on — a tight twill weave with a proper rod-pocket header that gathers into neat folds instead of hanging limp. At about the price of two coffees, it's the fastest way to make a bare window over the sink look intentional.

Good to know: It's a true buffalo check (larger squares), not a fine gingham — lovely, but read the size chart, because 24 in is short and made for half-window café coverage only.
