for our upper level Living Room On Crooked Creektt
took what seemed like f o r e v e r !

| After. . . |
Honestly,
I began my search right after Christmas 2014,
but didn't find what I was looking for until June 2015.
 |
| . . . Before |
Arriving On Crooked Creektt,
originally, I had creamy ivory sheers with embroidery and seed pearls.
The Roman Shades in wheat were a perfect match.
I l o v e d those sheer curtains!
I still do!
It just was time for an update.
Time for a Curtain Call!!!
The reason that choosing curtains was so~o~o complicated
was my list of "must haves":
* Must coordinate with furnishings, carpeting and paint
in both the Living Room and Dining Room.
* Had to have a pocket header and hang in pleats.
* The draperies must be lined.
* Must be machine washable.
* Had to stay within my $200.00 budget.
That was no easy feat!
On Crooked Creektt's Living Room has three windows
plus the Dining Room's patio door.
So~o~o. . .
from January ~ to ~June,
On Crooked Creektt's Living and Dining Rooms had no window coverings.
January . . .
I was thrilled to find lined drapes on $ale
that "Mr. Ed" and I could cover the three Living Room windows
plus the Dining Room patio doors for $30.00 under budget !
. . . June
I adore the subtle pattern within the drapes!
The lighter hue is a perfect match to the Roman Shades wheat color!

The color and pattern blends harmoniously
with the rug and the furnishings within On Crooked Creektt's Dining Room.

Nice choice, Pat - not that you were picky or anything, right?! Well worth the wait. If I were you, though, I'd hold onto those lighter sheers and not reinvent them into something else, but rather hold onto them for an alternative option again since these took so long to find. What's worth having is definitely worth waiting for instead of compromising. Both are beautifully coordinated options for you.

Dear Ones,
I "kept" the sheers!!!
Fondly,
Pat
Looks good, Pat -- sometimes it takes a while to find just the RIGHT item . . . and your patience paid off -- now you have $30 to spend on an Iron Star treasure!
Martha
They look beautiful. Sometimes it is good to wait to find the right things.
Hi Pat! Oh, I love love your new curtains! I do know sometimes it takes a while to find just what you want and I'm so glad you found these! Never hurts to get a good price too! Your windows look lovely.
be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Beautiful! It IS so hard to find curtains that are well-made and not terribly expensive. I'm so glad you found what you wanted! They look perfect!

oooooh I like! Miss the days of opening the JC Penney catalogue and finding what you want. I probably need new curtains, but like you said it is not easy. Also love all your wall pockets you have up!
Wow, you did great finding the lovely drapery on sale...your patience paid off!
Have a wonderful week, Pat.
Pat,
Well worth the wait! I totally understand taking your time to find what you are looking for... Otherwise you aren't happy with something you settled for instead.
Have a wonderful week.
Judith
The time was well spent. They are lovely, Pat! Wonderful choice.
Hope your summer is winding down and blessed.

Oh Pat, love them! The wait was so worth it, they just look wonderful! I'm crazy about the pattern, perfect!
Have a sweet Sunday!
Nancy
Wow, love the new drapes! I know exactly what you mean about having a hard time finding new ones...
I have been on the hunt for our LR for months, and still cant find 8 window panels that will work that arent 80 dollars each.
I am so glad you found yours, it really gives a nice cozy feel to the space!
XO,
CHristine
Hi Pat, your post really caught my eye! I know exactly what you mean, my new curtains just went up Saturday (writing a post this week).Making up my mind on what I wanted was the hardest part!! Yours are gorgeous and look perfect for the room! Please visit our party and share what you have been working on! Friday Favorites, every Thursday at 7PM at mustlovehome.com. Hugs- Christine
I love the new curtains, these were a perfect choice. I always have a difficult time deciding upon window treatments, so I certainly understand having it taking so long to find the perfect drapery. Thank you so much for sharing over at Celebrate it Sunday.
The new curtains are beautiful, and well worth the wait! And it's always good to find just what you're looking for...and come under budget! Love the flooring/rug (?) under the kitchen table! ~Rhonda
yes it was worth the wait and your patience! :) LOVELY!
