After several months of gold brocadecurtains that do not coordinate with my bedroom decor in the slightest, and that cast a weird gold shadow over my cool-toned grey walls (but were awesome at blocking out the light until I found the right fabric), I have new curtains.
Wanna see?
They aren't hanging quite right because they're a little super too long, so they are puddling on the floor. I'm going to raise the curtain rod, which will take care of that.
This is a quick, blurry iPhone snapshot I took to send to mom so she could see her handiwork in place, since she sewed these for me (because she is the best mother EVER). By the way, the curtains being too long is totally my fault. I gave mom some crazy measurements. Crazy is how I roll.
Also, I didn't "style" my dresser before taking this photo, but I'm no stylist, and I'm keeping it real here anyway. You can see my necklace hooks in between the windows. They are curtain tie backs that came with my living room curtain rods, but I didn't want to use them for that, so I kept them for future use, and it's a good thing, because my necklace collection was getting out of control, and the tie backs made great hooks to hang them from.
I need to stop buying necklaces.
Anyway, I really love this fabric from L&S Fabrics. It's nice and thick and lets just enough light in, but not too much. I found it as a result of multiple rounds of swatch ordering, which was totally worth it. It only took me nearly 6 months to buy the fabric...but it was worth the wait. And it's a good thing I ordered it when I did, because now it looks like it's not available anymore. PHEW! Unless you wanted to order some, then, BOOH! I'm sure it will come back, though.
