So, I decided to return those and buy a new set which were a closer color to the bedroom walls - a pale creamy yellow.
Now, I really like these. They look just like silk drapes you find at Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware but at a tiny fraction of the price. That kind of deal just makes me love them more.
Here's how the back windows looked before -
I (really Jim) rehung the drapes so they hang above the transom windows instead of between the transom windows and the double hung windows. I think it's a great improvement.
Yes, that's our crazy dog Angus.
You may also have noticed I ditched the heavy looking metal tie-backs. They just were not working for me and I felt like they were distracting because they were so dark and large. I'm not entirely sure I'll keep the cellular shades I have underneath. They are not the prettiest thing in the world but they are incredibly functional - privacy but with great light filtration.
What do you think? What kind of window treatment issues are you dealing with in your house?
