The guest bedroom is getting finished finally. First was the wall color, then the ceiling. Upon trying to mix the ceiling color we found it was lumpy. :( So we had to go out and buy new. But that isn't so bad, now I have a smaller bucket to carry around for touch ups. Next I tackled window coverings. A few weeks ago I stumbled upon some wonderful curtains on clearance. I brought them home only to find that they are perfect. The colors match our walls! How awesome right? Right. But something was still missing. Our home is unique.
I am not sure what our overall design type is, such as modern, traditional, or country. I would like to have more of a contemporary design but we have columns. yes columns. Esther, you can have my columns. SO I have to temper the modern things with some sophistication. The clearance panels were plain. I have blue stripes, red stripes, and blue and brown paisley. All coordinating. I started on the panels in our closet first. Oh Boy that was a task to tackle. Yikes. I got overwhelmed and had to change the design a few times. So there is only one panel almost finished in there. So when we were finally doing the guest bedroom I decided to work on those curtains instead. I measured twice and cut once, but sewed and ripped then sewed again. I 'finished' these once. But it was done with black thread. yuck. It look way too homemade. So I ripped out all the black and started again with a red I had to go out and get. After taking the time to rip out all the black, I decided to take my time and do these right the first time. I think my patience paid off. I am happy with them, and Jordan is happy with them, *sigh of relief.* I was beginning to wonder if I had made the mistake of biting off more than I could chew. ya know? Hopefully the next curtains will go smoother than these, and hopefully they will just keep getting better!
