We officially have drapes in all of the appropriate rooms! I wanted to make sure this was on my list because when you have so many projects (many of which we're doing anyway, even though they're not published, haha), it's hard to not forget about the little pretty things.

We moved into our house in November, so it's taken a little while to rid our home from 80's mini-blinds. It feels good, my friend. For both rooms, we found a beautiful wood spindle rod from World Market that feels classic yet masculine. We found the curtains for the guest bedroom at WM as well. They are made of muslin, and they add just the perfect whimsical edge I wanted in that room. For the family room curtains, I went to a Joann Fabrics custom fabric sale and ordered this beautiful branch-design fabric. You can see the pattern a bit better in the pic below. I had a lady at work make them for me. She is a seemstress on the side. At first we had the rod through the pocket, but I liked them better on clips. This north-facing window needs a wide opening to get that afternoon sun in! But, they're thick enough to give us extra draft protection on wintery nights.
Beautiful!!!
