My New Curtains




It took a while to figure out what would work, then to find a design and colour that would complement my simple room while adding a splash of colour without cheapening the entire ambiance.

It took several hours to fold, cut and tape these so they are finished and not just roughly slapped up there as if I were a guy with no fashion sense.

I think I succeeded.

What do you think?

I love you!

P.S. while everyone at work is panicking over our buyout, I see it as a grand new adventure that I am about to embark on. I have no idea how things are going to change, but I will say this: my original goal and reason for choosing to accept my company's offer of employment was to take them global. And that is suddenly achieved much faster than I had anticipated! The Universe really is amazing and does everything to get the right stuff as long as you believe entirely and work your ass off to prove it. Everything falls in place. And I am SO excited!!! (commuting time is likely to go from 20 minutes to 60 in jam packed trains with a transfer or two...)

  4. Jen - Ikea right! They are supposed to use bars at the top and bottom but that won't work for me because I want to crumple them all open to let light in. So I have clip and dangled them in free-flow form.

  5. What kind of flowers are those? Is that just some fabric that you picked up? How did you hem them? How are they attached to the curtain rod? I like your little wee green plant in the corner too... cute!

  6. I think they are crocuses. It was a 3pcs set in Ikea (X2 sets). Each piece was 3m long. I hemmed them using cloth tape and an iron, and my amazing precision skills. I bought little hooks at Ikea also so that they clip on the material, and then hang in the sliding curtain loops. Thanks for liking the little wee green plant too. I kinda like you, too.
