I already know that that is going to be a controversial resolution, however it’s accomplished. I made the choice to hold some curtains on the window in my walk-in closet. And whereas I already know that some persons are going to hate it, I can let you know that I like it. Let me let you know what drove this resolution.
I began contemplating this about 4 weeks in the past. I used to be within the kitchen, and dreaming about what our breakfast room would seem like as soon as we’re lastly in a position to transfer into our new bed room, and I’m in a position to have an precise eating space once more. And I began making an attempt to check what I needed the eating are to seem like.
I actually don’t need to make a complete lot of modifications to the general look. I do need it to be an consuming space as an alternative of a sitting room, however I need to hold it colourful and enjoyable. I plan to maintain the buffet in there, and it’ll keep the identical darkish purple that it presently is. The image ledge cabinets will keep simply as they’re. So mainly, I plan to swap out the recliners for a eating desk and chairs. However I additionally need new draperies for the room. I’d love a cloth that isn’t fairly so intense in colour, and perhaps one thing in a enjoyable, colourful print.
Particularly after I have a look at the rooms collectively from this view whereas standing within the kitchen, I feel the curtains on the eating room home windows actually have to be a print as an alternative of one other strong colour.
It’s not that I don’t just like the curtains which were within the breakfast room. I really actually love them. I really like the colour, the burden of the material, and the sparkly trim on the vanguard. I really like every part in regards to the, however I simply assume I can discover one thing that works higher in that room.
However as a result of I actually love these curtains, I began questioning the place I may use them. I needed to discover a residence for them, however I solely have two panels, and I can’t get extra of that cloth or trim.
Within the meantime, whereas I really like, love, LOVE my closet, there have been a few issues that trouble me about it. First, whereas the wallpaper I selected is unquestionably a favourite of mine, that again (predominant) wall appears actually busy to me. Second, I don’t like that my chandelier will get type of misplaced in opposition to a busy background. And third, I simply need extra pink. I’m actually glad that I didn’t go together with pink for the island. I feel that might have been all improper, and the darkish blue turned out to be excellent for the island. However I’ve simply needed extra pink in there.
And in some unspecified time in the future over the past three weeks, it dawned on me that these curtains from the breakfast room could be excellent for my closet! The colour appeared excellent. The sparkly trim on the vanguard appeared excellent for my closet, particularly with my sparkly art work above the washer and dryer.
I introduced the curtains into the closet and draped them over a ladder for a couple of days so I may see them an decide. In spite of everything, I wanted to drill holes into the wallpaper if I needed to hold curtains in right here, so I didn’t need to make a rash resolution. However the extra I noticed them in right here, the extra I beloved them. So yesterday, I lastly hung the curtains, and I really like them a lot!
I actually like how they offer a break within the busyness of the wallpaper, and so they additionally give a strong backdrop for the chandelier.
And as soon as I noticed that shot of attractive raspberry colour on that wall, I felt prefer it was “me”. The room lastly had that injection of pink that I’ve been eager for.
I used to be just a little nervous that they may get in the way in which of the washer and dryer opening correctly, however they don’t in any respect.
The panel on the left must be hemmed only a bit extra, however that must wait. It’s adequate for now.
So once more, I already know that some individuals will hate this resolution, however I completely like it. I’m only a curtain type of gal. I want and need curtains on all of my home windows as a result of I really like cloth, sample, texture, and colour, and I feel a window with out curtains in my home is a missed alternative.
I want that I may have hung them larger, all the way in which up in order that the rod was slightly below the crown molding, however sadly, the panels weren’t lengthy sufficient for that. So I needed to work with what I had.
I’ve beloved having this closet a lot, and I actually have loved every part about it, however I’ve at all times felt like one thing was lacking.
And now, it actually is ideal for me.
