I already know that that is going to be a controversial choice, but it surely’s performed. I made the choice to hold some curtains on the window in my walk-in closet. And whereas I already know that some individuals are going to hate it, I can let you know that I like it. Let me let you know what drove this choice.
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 appear to be as soon as we’re lastly capable of transfer into our new bed room, and I’m capable of have an precise eating space once more. And I began attempting to examine what I needed the eating are to appear to be.
I actually don’t wish 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 wish to maintain it colourful and enjoyable. I plan to maintain the buffet in there, and it’ll keep the identical darkish purple that it at the moment is. The image ledge cabinets will keep simply as they’re. So principally, 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 material that isn’t fairly so intense in shade, and possibly one thing in a enjoyable, colourful print.

Particularly once I have a look at the rooms collectively from this view whereas standing within the kitchen, I believe the curtains on the eating room home windows actually have to be a print as an alternative of one other strong shade.


It’s not that I don’t just like the curtains which have been within the breakfast room. I truly actually love them. I like the colour, the load of the material, and the sparkly trim on the vanguard. I like the whole lot in regards to the, however I simply suppose 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 house for them, however I solely have two panels, and I can’t get extra of that material or trim.
Within the meantime, whereas I like, love, LOVE my closet, there have been a few issues that hassle me about it. First, whereas the wallpaper I selected is certainly a favourite of mine, that again (most important) wall appears actually busy to me. Second, I don’t like that my chandelier will get form of misplaced towards 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 believe that might have been all incorrect, and the darkish blue turned out to be good for the island. However I’ve simply needed extra pink in there.


And sooner or later over the past three weeks, it dawned on me that these curtains from the breakfast room could be good for my closet! The colour appeared good. The sparkly trim on the vanguard appeared good 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 just a few days so I may see them an decide. In any case, I wanted to drill holes into the wallpaper if I needed to hold curtains in right here, so I didn’t wish to make a rash choice. However the extra I noticed them in right here, the extra I beloved them. So yesterday, I lastly hung the curtains, and I like them a lot!


I actually like how they provide 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 shade 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 a bit of nervous that they could get in the best way 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 ok for now.


So once more, I already know that some folks will hate this choice, however I completely like it. I’m only a curtain form of gal. I want and wish curtains on all of my home windows as a result of I like material, sample, texture, and shade, and I believe a window with out curtains in my home is a missed alternative.


I want that I may have hung them larger, all the best way up in order that the rod was just 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 the whole lot about it, however I’ve at all times felt like one thing was lacking.


And now, it actually is ideal for me.
