Comments (21)I have a little of everything in my house - they are all casual. My style is not formal at all. My LR drapes (a Pottery Barn paisley) are on rings and are lined. I can close them easily enough, but never do. My DR are top tabs just because I found a good deal on a casual heavy cotton with a texture in a sage color that I needed. It works for me. I don't usually like just valances, but they work better in my office because the desk sits under a window and I didn't want panels muddled up with all the cords,etc. I found a good deal on valances with back tabs. I never touch them and they hang very nicely at all times. I also have a valance on my kitchen window and they are shirred on the rod. My spare bedroom has light-weight white cotton shir-on rod pockets which suits the cottagy look I have going on there. I have white wooden blinds uner them. My master bedroom has white blinds with no drapes - looks fine with my "shades of beige and white". I think it mostly depends on the look you are going for, but also the fabric of the drape. I will NEVER have formal pinch-pleated drapes in my home in damask or silk. I love a good cotton or cotton/rayon blend....See MoreDown and Dirty Quick Fix
Comments (23)G'mornin' y'all. Thanks for all the cheering - y'all make me laugh, but if y'all could see this house and garden, you'd know what's been going on - NEGLECT EVERYTHING to PLAY. After I finished working w/HM yesterday on the finishing of the b.r. tiles, I knocked out a couple other blocks, JUST to use up leftover mortar, doncha know, JUST to use the mortar. I started to work in the yard, and plant the Impatiens but couldn't cuz of that nekkid block I showed y'all on the "inspiration thread", and ugly white pot soooooo...... W/grout this morn. and take a pic. Y'all just knock my socks off w/your compliments....See MoreMy quick-and-dirty hall bath facelift
Comments (28)I think the stool should be the color of that yellow car on the shelf. That would be the perfect 'pop' (sorry, I couldn't resist!). I have the same shower curtain, but mine seems to have more taupe in it. I love it too, we painted our bedroom gray, and the en suite is a creamy vanilla, so I wanted to bring some of that gray in there, it worked perfectly. I would like to see a rustic floor cover, a small rug...even a wooden door mat, to bring the wood on the walls to the floor. I cannot find a picture of the type I was thinking of, it was wooden slats with a twill binding, but I did google some wooden door mats and found some neat ones....See MoreRichard (Vero Beach, Florida)
