I don't like; I LOOOOOVE it, sugar. I think you should leave the poufs up just as I did in our bedroom, sweetpea. They look so festive and just right - like they belong in that room. xoxoxoxo, Connie
Ele, as ALWAYS your room is perfect! I love that crinkly sheer stuff, and the poufs would NEVER come down if it were up to me.....weeeell, at least not until the next sweet thing. :o) xoxo
Ele,I think your dining room looks just beautiful!I love those sheers they are perfect for the room.I would definaty leave the poofs up.Did you know Martha Stewart has a tutorial on how to make them now?I haven't tried it yet.I really like the brightness of the room I bet it will be wonderful in the winter and cozy.Your dining room chairs I love.Do all the men eat there when they come in from the fields?Hugs,Jennifer
Ele, what a beautiful room! I love the softness, and the brightness of your decorating scheme. I also am very intrigued by the pom pom balls hanging in the corner. What are those? I love em' Well done friend, Sharon
How absolutely PERFECT! Those sheers add the beauty & elegance without the HEADACHES! And they give such a light, airy feel to the room! THREE CHEERS FOR SHEERS!

For those of you that were following my dining room redo and gave me suggestions on the curtains/drapes, thank you! As always, your suggestions were wonderful.
I shopped, and shopped, and shopped because I refused to sew these window treatments, and time was running out until my mother's birthday party. My problem is that I usually get frustrated with what's out there and end up spending way more money on fabric then I should, (nice fabric can be really expensive and I don't live by a good discount store, so sewing items actually costs more....but you get what you want, so there's a trade off).
Not. Sewing. This. Time.
[Image]
The first choice (in my head) for window treatments was to find a silk or faux silk in exactly the same color blue as athe walls. Obviously this wasn't going to happen. Then I moved to white silk and I couldn't find any that I thought was
the right size
worth the money (in my opinion, cause sometimes I'm cheap like that)
I was on the hunt. You might have seen me looking at the sale end caps or strolling for hours down the curtain aisles. I actually ran into a store once without makeup. Oh the shame. Desperation. I checked out the fabric store, but MADE myself leave, (I bought a diet coke and a candy bar and sat in my car until my heart quit racing- you fabric lovers KNOW what I mean). Must. Not. Sew. Not. Enough. Time. Think. Thrifty. Of course, I also searched online.
Finally, Score

Crisp, snow white, crinkled, sheer, fresh, economical, flowing sheers are in my opinion a good choice.
The formal dining room looks into the sunroom. I like that the view is not obstructed.

I decided to use white wooden rods. The rods did not come in the size I needed, so I had Mr. Pink Heaven cut them to size. Since he's busy farming, I used my cordless screwdirver and slapped them up all by myself, (patience to wait for help when decorating is not my strong suit), and then, to these sleek white glossy drapery rods, I added some sheer goodness.
without sheers

Look for those blessings today. Hope you have many.
