Personally, I think paint is more practical than thread or wire in a kitchen. Grease from frying gets into the air and forms a fine layer everywhere, and dust catches in it. Cleaning lace would be terribly difficult. It shouldn't be too hard to paint from pictures of lace flowers.
Another option would be long, skinny frames for the lace--hung on either side of each window like shutters. The frame and glass would protect the lace, be easier to keep clean, and can travel to the next house. You can buy pairs of frame sides to construct the shape you want, such as a 6" pair and a 36" pair, for a lot less money than a custom-framing job. Then it's just the glass to be cut to size.
