Curtain Call!!!

The time it took to find new draperies
 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.

While adding the Timeless Classic elegance 
I was seeking for On Crooked Creektt's Living Room.
