No one ever tells you how much money custom window treatments will cost you when you first buy a house. I have my theories about this phenomenon (probably because everyone banishes that horrible memory of paying that bill), but that is really only a side issue to this post. Here's the important news: we've got some curtains!
If you remember from our last post about the dining room, we were still waiting on those curtains to arrive. They arrived early this summer, and they really worked to soften up the space. They are a cream color with a criss-crossing twine (yes, twine!) pattern.
Just before the 4th of July, we had our master bedroom curtains installed. What a difference! They really change the look of the room, but they also have an incredible amount of function. Before the curtains arrived, we had a lot of stray light coming in from a street lamp. No more! These curtains are blackout lined! Not only do they provide light control, all of the extra fabric in the room really absorbs sound. Not like we had a problem with an echo before (this room isn't that big), but it definitely makes it feel more cozy.
The other window treatments (roman shades) are in the pictures posted for the living room. We were also extremely happy with how those turned out. In all, worth the wait.
