New Curtains

We've lived in our house for almost 2 years now and I am just finally getting curtains in my living room.  I am such an indecisive person that I couldn't decide what I wanted.  The other problem is that my windows were so tall.  It is hard to find curtains long enough.  I kept finding cute cream panels but with 5 children, cream is not very practical.  I'd be washing those things constantly.

 I asked Cala if she could bring her sewing machine when they came for Thanksgiving and help make curtains.  This really translated into, Cala will you make my curtains.  My mother-in-law was so sweet and make all six panels.  We ended up buying already made curtains from Pier 1 Imports then adding a panel at the bottom. We put a sage green ribbon with another brown ribbon on top of that where the two different panels met.  I think they are fabulous.

 It was a little tricky because none of the panels were are wide as they were supposed to be so Cala and Clark had to unstitch a lot of fabric.  They ended up being way more work than I had thought.  I guess I should have realized that, but I love them.  I finally have some privacy at night.  The curtains also help tone down my very yellow walls.

This was a huge project.  Thanks Cala.
