My3, that is beautiful! Thibault fabric is lovely. I wish that sewing was a talent of mine but it isn't. I am also VERY intimidated by window treatments and curtains which is why most of my windows are bare. I will have custom done for my bedroom and the living room but no way will I go custom for the bathroom. The curtain doesn't have to be flat but I think maybe six inches plus of gathering might ruin the look. The Hailey curtain on the website looks flat and looks great to me but I am so not wanting to make a mistake and have to do it over that I am paralyzed.

I think either will work. If you want a really flat look, then the 34" will do it. If you want it to look a little fuller (6" isn't much) then the 40" will be fine. Look at the bottom in the catalog and in the one my3dogs posted. The difference is that a flat one, the sides will pull in when the bottom is drawn up as there's no extra fabric there. With the little extra fabric, the sides will hang straighter as there's some give. Either look is fine...it's just a matter of which you prefer.

Thank you Annie, I think I will go with a 40" I would rather that it doesn't pull in at the sides. Is there another type of ready made curtain that you can recommend?

Hard for me to recommend...refresh my memory on your mbath....is there a pic somewhere? The tie up valance you are looking at is very casual...is that the look you are going for?

There is no pic. This bathroom is a sad one. I like a dressy look as I have in my bedroom but since it's a bathroom I want easy care items and not necessarily dressy or too formal because it's quite small. It's 6 x 9 and impossible to get a pic of so you can see everything. I had the walls painted SW snowbound. My hardware is from Colonial Bronze in a polished nickel finish. The lights will either be the Metropolitan sconce (the one you prefer) or the Keswick. My painter is here now painting my vanity in SW Rain. I like traditional/vintage look. I like the Hailey but I am open to other suggestions.

Given the colors, I think the valance you selected would look very nice. What you want to make sure of though is that the background of the fabric is as white as the walls...or else contrasts signficantly. If not, there is a combo where the walls will just make the fabric look dirty...

That's a pretty valance. I'm into those softened colors and patterns. There is a regular here who has an Etsy shop who makes curtains. Can't think of her name but just a week or two ago Shee mentioned to her that she bought curtains from her a few years ago. AAMOF, it was in Shee's pillow thread where she asked for sewing help.

Why don't you put together a design board? For my clean, simple tastes, I felt the Keswick was a little ornate, but I looked at a lot of websites for you and it's hard to find polished nickel sconces with a square back plate, 100 wattage, glass shades, etc., so maybe the Keswick is as close as you're going to get. But it could look fine with a plain mirror, but you wouldn't want to do a chrome frame.

Hard for me to recommend ready mades though as I really never look at them...I make my own...

And just like that, I saw a post on Conversations by the person who has the Etsy shop.
