BURLAP CURTAINS ANYONE? ANOTHER DINING ROOM UPDATE

Hi everybody, I'm still with Blogger and will publish a few more posts before I move over to WorldPress. I'm hoping for a seamless transition, fingers crossed....

 

Today I want to do one more Dining Room Update...and this one is about curtains.

 

Curtains or I should say...the lack of curtains in a home is a missed decorating opportunity...imo

I think a room without window treatments is like a face without eyebrows...

 

On occasion, I have come across rooms that looked OK without window treatments, but for the most part, I think all rooms could benefit from some kind of decorative or

 utilitarian drapes or curtains or both

 

Our first floor lacks natural light, so I can't use any kind of shades or heavy drapes... I opted for open weave curtains...to let in as much light as possible...

 

My favorite in this category is burlap, which is a big trend right now, however the burlap

I found at JoAnne's fabric store is a bit too rustic for this project...

 

After a bit of research, I chose the Restoration Hardware "burlap" curtains...they have a more polished look and they come in a variety of lengths...and natural shades

 

So here is dining room window before:

 

and here it is after: 

 

 

The walls are still yellow, but after we paint the room a warm white, the natural shade of the curtains should "pop" a bit more...

 

Again here is the before and after:
 

What do you think?

Next, I will try to post a recipe...I've come across so many great recipes on Pinterest and I want to try them all...if only I had all the free time in the world, but I don't...

Have a great end of the week and see you soon...
