You know how sometimes you think you have a plan all figured out and it will look fabulous. When I made my idea board I was so sure I wanted white drapes in the living room. Then when you start working on it, everything kind of falls apart and it really doesn’t look like what you wanted.. That’s the way my white drapes for the living room turned out. You can see all of the different looks I tried with them here. So on to game plan #2.
Here are the white drapes, now there is nothing wrong with them, it’s just that they look so plain in here. No wow or pizzazzzz. Actually they really do look better in this picture than in real life. ( My sofa is more of a cream and this makes it almost look dirty) Ok, now to clarify, I love the lighter brighter look, just not the stark white, so I think I need to look for something more of an ivory color.
Before I return these, I was wondering how they would work in the family/breakfast room. Actually, they really look much better in here.
This room has white walls while the living/dining area has beige walls, so they blend better, but still just a little plain. Nothing wow at all, I am wondering, does a room have to have wow, or am I just weird.
Frames the window and blends in which is good since this is not a really huge space.
Ok, back to the living room – remember this is with the brown drapes that I have had for a while.
If I move the family/breakfast room drapes in here, I think they will give me the look I want. They are the same color as the walls and they have enough of an elegant touch with the header and fringe to compliment the room. Ok, this might work. I really was ready for a change, but my dark brown drapes did work really well. However, these do make the room a little brighter for a change. These drapes will look nice in here, but what about the family room.
Right now, this is the only drape I have up in the familyroom. Just so-so.
I think I am just not a stark white girl, I can’t get my arms around these at all. I need to figure out something else. Sorry Ikea, but these are going back. I just don’t think they are me. Love the all white in others homes, but hate it in mine. Have to be true to myself. I do have a super idea and it will be fabulous, hopefully. I will show you later.
