new curtains
I am making new curtains for the living room window. The window is big, 60 inches long and 105 across. I currently have 3 panels. I think I'll either make 2 or 4 this time around.
Katrina are going to go get fabric tomorrow. I'm planning on a nice creamy brownish linen and some creamy sheer. My goal is to do some stripes of the sheer into the linen. I just need to decided horizontal or vertical. Vertical would add some height and you couldn't see any potential none straight lines because of the folds.
I hope the Iranian guy will sell me the linen for $5 a yard like he did the last time! 70 in linen for $5/yard! I love the fabric district.
I also want to redo a chair. I don't think I'll go as far as I did with the chair I took down to the frame, I'll just make a nice cover. I'll look for fabric ideas tomorrow.
I'm so eager to paint, I'm thinking that Labor day weekend will be perfect!

Are you painting the living room? What color?
TYes the living room! The wall that houses the window and the door will be a solft light creamy tan, as well as the tiny wall that faces the door, along the kitchen. The wall opposite the window will be either a chocolately brown or a deep green, probably with a little texture.
I'm excited to take everything down, and just put out the special monkeys. I ready for a change.
You have to post pictures when you're done!
I love your decorating plans - new curtains will be so nice - how will Chase like the change??
love, mom
