It's so gorgeous and you could easily make a curtain like it yourself.
According to Flickr User YarnZombie, the Kodachrome curtain project was quite simple:
The slides date from the 50s and early 60s, and are all from a lot of slides I got in Kansas City last fall. The majority of slides on the right panel are of horses. Go figure. Travis drilled 8 holes in the slides using a Dremel tool in a Dremel drill press thingy, and I connected them all using aluminum chainmail rings.
I'm not sure if I'd pick horse slides, but I'd love prettying up some windows like this.
