Here are the living room curtains closed. It was a bit tricky with our not-so-beautiful soffit, but it worked. We went with a soft, off-white color to add some neutrality to our bold walls. This picture is nice and warm compared to the others because I left the camera flash off. Fancy ey.
Here are the living room curtains with everything opened and tied together. It's hard to see but the rods are a brown copper with balls on the ends. You'll also notice we added a rug to the living room in a shade slightly darker then the curtains. Last night we had a fire and sat and admired how cozy we had made it... felt like home.
Here's a closer, Norman's-eye-view if you will, of the rug. It's got a burbur texture to it so he can't claw at it or snag it. When he's tired or bored, he likes to pretend things are dirt so he can dig... not the brightest light in the harbor, but by far the cutest!
Here are the curtains we hung in the dining room that cover the sliding glass door leading out to the backyard. We hung them clear from the ceiling to add height and drama and to match the scale of the cabinets. It makes the room feel very dramatic and classy. The color is brownish, grayish, greenish... that's it's exact name. It compliments the countertops and table perfectly.
Here's a shot of them open. That nasty fan is still there but we're working on fitting a new light fixture into the budget and hopefully we'll be able to sell this one. (Sidenote: We did end up selling two things on Craig's List so far, our dishwasher and bathroom medicine cabinet. Pretty slick system.)
Finally, here they are open and snug behind their tie-backs or whatever they're called. These curtains didn't come with cloth tie-backs, so we bought a set that matched the rods and hung them on the wall. All the fixtures are black so they coordinate nicely with our pulls and knobs on the kitchen cabinets.
