My dining room has gotten some new furniture in the last month. It has made me consider the curtains. What has been hanging are curtains I got for the living room a long time ago. After the fire, I found the old living room curtains first, so I hung them up. They looked just fine until I started getting the new additions.
The curtains I replaced were orangish and kind of shiny. (Sorry there is no ‘before’ picture. I forgot.) They were really good for what I had in mind in the living room, but in the dining room, I really was more interested in a cool color. I found what I was looking for at Marshall’s: cool-colored curtains for a low price. Woo hoo!
The middle part of the window looked bare. Roman shades from IKEA were just the thing.
I would have cleaned the radiator off for the picture, but I was feeling lazy.
The twig pattern in these curtains kind of match the curtains in the living room, which I think is kind of nice.
Those look very nice. I took down all the curtains in my house and just have blinds or shades. I like that.
I was once told that curtains are the jewelry of a room. Those look nice, Brad! I took the curtains that came with this house to the cleaners a few weeks ago and they appear to have lost them. Now I am debating: do I go with the Deborah look or the Brad look?
They are just perfect for a plant guy such as yourself. Did you already have the twigs in the watering can or did you add them just now? They are perfect!
As I look around at the hodge-podge of window coverings in this house, I think I might need to go jewelry shopping.
…and then there’s the “valance only” look, which we have in our master bedroom. This was born from the tendency of resident felines to want to crawl up the tiers that hung there formerly. The younger one can still occasionally go for the dangly balls off the edge of the valances, but so far nothing has been torn down in there. The living room (still with both tiers and valance) has not been thus spared, however. I used to think my head was on crooked when I looked at the one window in there until I realized the support for the one valance has been partially pulled out of the wall and causes the valences to hang at an angle now. (‘Course, my head may still be on crooked for all I know.)
