I’m contemplating the curtain situation in my living room…
See the big windows to the right? There. I’ve already found an extra long black rod at Ikea (those are not easy to find, apparently). I really wanted the
brass one from west elm , but apparently it’s not long enough. I thought the touch of gold would be pretty in this room. I might still try and hunt down a brass one somewhere else. I actually saw another blogger that found one at Walmart. She made an extra long rod herself, by buying two rods and attaching them together. We shall see how that part goes. I think I’m getting lazy in my old age, because I’m dreading hanging the rods…
Anyway, for the curtains themselves, I’ve narrowed it down to a couple of options. I’m digging a few fabrics at
Spoonflower.
I like this one:
This:
(But I don’t think the repeat is large enough. I want something with a large pattern)
….
Those are my ideas. I know they’re all on the slightly “blah” side, but I want neutral, gray/blue (probably gray, actually), with a white pattern, and these all fit the bill. And have you been fabric shopping lately? All boring, I feel.
I like the options above but I need a LOT of fabric (tall windows, tall ceilings), so I am considering making my own curtains with a sort of block print feel. Ikea has a lot of gray curtain options, including some with some nice fabrics like linens, so I think it could be a fun project to take on. I make a billion other stencils for clients – maybe I could make one for myself here, and stencil it onto the fabric?! Could be fun! I just need to find a fabric paint that isn’t “crunchy.” AKA probably not puffy paint like I used
for this project. Hah!
What do you guys think!?

LIKE YOUR USE OF THE RUGS ON THE FLOOR…DON’T LIKE PLASTIC SEE THROUGH COFFETABLES…
AS TO THE CURTAINS…FLOOR LENGTH SECTIONS ARE NICE…NOT BLINDS…BLINDS ARE BORING ON THEIR OWN…THEY CAN BE UNDERNEATH, BUT NOT ALL BLINDS…
ABSOLUTELY NOT…THOSE DREADFUL CIRCLES!…
YOUR CHOICE OF FABRIC IS DEFINITELY NOT MINE…LOL…I’D SAY, YOU HAVE TO LOOK PRETTY FAR AND WIDE TO PICK ANY OF THOSE YOU CHOSE…SORRY…
TOO BAD, I’M NOT THERE – I WOULD TAKE YOU TO A FABRIC STORE AND MATCH YOUR ROOM TO YOUR FABRIC…TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF SCRAP, FROM THE COUCH IF POSSIBLE, AND FROM THE RUGS…AND GO TO THE FABRIC STORE WITH THEM…
PEOPLE OFTEN HAVE ASKED ME, WHEN I AM IN A CLOTHING STORE OR FABRIC, ETC. …WHAT LOOKS GOOD…AND I KIND OF ENJOY LEADING THEM TO THE RIGHT LOOKS AND COLORS.
IF YOU ONLY HAVE THE ABOVE FABRICS TO CHOOSE FROM…
THEN GO FOR THE TWO AT THE TOP OF YOUR LIST…AND USE THEM TOGETHER…THE HERRINGBONE (2ND) COULD BE THE CURTAINS AND THE TOP ONE COULD BE A BLIND OR VICE VERSA – THEN, GET EXTRA FABRIC FOR THROW CUSHION COVERS OR OTHER ACCENT FABRIC PIECES – JUST TO TIE IT ALL IN…
THAT WAY YOU ARE NOT RUNNING ALL OVER THE PLACE, TRYING TO FIND FABRICS FOR A ROOM.
I DON’T KNOW IF YOU LIKE BLACK OR NOT…BUT, BLACK IS A GOOD BASIC TO TIE DOWN A ROOM WITH…BLACK ACCESSORIES – AND GIVES A CERTAIN PUNCH TO YOUR STATEMENT…
HAVE FUN.
BLESSINGS, L.
