You all saw my Idea Board for my living room makeover and I shared my Trip to Ikea to look at drapes, so I am thrilled that it is finally starting.
Seems like any kind of makeover really creates chaos. First up was to pull the existing drapes down and pack away carefully in a plastic bin. Then wipe down the walls carefully, clean the blinds really good, and wash the windows inside and out.
Now that the walls and windows are really clean, I vacuumed the carpets again. Time to press the new drapes.
OK, one panel up. I like the texture of the material, it does look like linen when the light shines through.
Wow, this looks really different. It always takes me a while to get used to something new.
Hum, I have to live with this for a few days.
This was before – – –
and now. – – – Do these look just too plain? I need to think about this.
I pulled all the pillows out of the family room to see how versatile this could be. I am still a little under-impressed. I definitely need to live with this for a while.
Ok, what do you think? Are they too plain or do I need to do something else? My sofa is cream and these are really white – not so sure they look good together. I really do love the lighter feel of the room.
Be honest folks, this is really very under-whelming!!! I need some straight talk, I am about to take these back, but like I said, I always have to live with change a while.
