Happy Friday! Today, I would like to share some new curtains I ordered from wayfair.com. A home, just isn’t a home (to me) if it doesn’t have the warmth of curtains on the windows.
I purchased the Stripped Faux Silk Taffeta Curtains. I like my curtains to slightly puddle on the ground, so instead of the 84″ standard window length, I got the 50″X108″ length. I am so pleased with the quality. These curtains are heavy and lined with white on the inside. I think they really look like silk, but without the price, faux is just fine with me. 😉
I had initially thought to use curtain clips, but decided that I liked the
Pole Pocket with Hook Belt and Back Tabs just fine.
I purchased the curtain rod from Home Depot.
See, is this window calling for curtains, or
what?
I hung the curtains and then decided I needed to add a little Tuscan flair! 😉 So, up went a metal wall embellishment.
See, this window just needed a little drama. Boring to better, right?
I started to move my accessories around, brought in some black accents (like a bookcase) which I am using to showcase some cute kitchen/Tuscan-style decor.
I love the colors yellow, red, gold, brown, and green together.
I tried to find items in my storage area that would coordinate with my new curtains.
Does it look Tuscan-esque to you?
My chairs go well with the curtains, too!
To the far left, I removed the wall shelf and brought in the black bookcase. As cheap as the bookcase is, I still like seeing my nick-nacky things. I can’t help myself, lol!
(a few pictures down, you’ll see the bookcase)
I added a lemon next to Mr. Roo for summer!
Here’s my old Walmart bookcase.
I love displaying this cookbook, Savoring Tuscany.
Adding little jugs and topiary plants here and there.
Placed a fork and spoon in this container….to add a little kitchen feel to it!
I like to add lots of garden balls into my summer decor, actually they are a staple in my everyday decor. Ha!
Here is the Rooster arrangement I just shared.
Here sits another Roo right on top of the black bookcase.
Adding lemons and oranges to my summer decor.
Lastly, and it’s so true…the kitchen is the heart of the home! 🙂
Isn’t is funny how changing one thing (in my case, the curtains) leads to more changes in accessorizing, or re-arranging furniture? Does that happen to you, too? 😉
Cha-cha-changes! I liked these curtains so much, I ordered another set for my sliding glass door. I’ll share that soon!
Have a great weekend, everyone!
XOXO, ~Liz
As usual I love what you've done Liz. You always make everything look so rich and warm looking. I a;ways find curtains and drapes to be a challenge because of my dogs. I love that puddled look on the floor too but despite the fact that I vacuum constantly there is always dog hair. So I always have to go a different route.
You have such a talented flair and vision in decorating, wished I did!! Everything looks so beautiful and I love the caged birds new home 🙂 Please follow my new blog if you get a chance at http://www.northshorebungalow.blogspot.com. Thanks and have a great weekend! -Bev
Your new drapes look great, Liz! I love the colors and the stripes. The length looks like it was just perfect for your situation. I think if you had used the clip rings they would have been too long. Have a wonderful weekend!
The curtains are beautiful! Love the colors. You have to be the Queen of accessorizing. 🙂 I could never pull all that together and make it look right.
Love your decor pieces!!!!!! Your totally my sis in law and I's inspiration! So glad your back !!!
Hi Liz!! Curtains look really nice!! I am loving all your decor as usual!! Our taste is the same!! Happy decorating!! God bless!
The curtains do look so perfect for the window and the room's decor! You always have the magic touch when it comes to accessorizing!
The curtains look perfect there! All your decorating looks fabulous!
Liz, your new curtains are beautiful! Love the stripes and the colors are perfect. You did a great job accessorizing…as usual! You are on a roll!
Love them Liz!!xo Kris
Hi there, friend! Your new home is looking so lovely. The new drapes look great! I'm glad you're happy with the quality of them. It can be tricky sometime ordering items on line without seeing them first. I also like window treatments on my windows. I'm still looking around for some for my family room. I like the look of silk but not so much the cost of silk! ha ha Faux silk can look just as good! 😉 I'm slowing coming along with decorating our new home. We are finishing up new floors this week! I am loving what you're doing to the outside of your new home. Anniversary Island looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing all of your ideas with us. ~Lu
Love your new curtains ! All your roosters make me want to run out and buy more ! 🙂 Love the one in the wire cloche ..such great accessorizing !
I love the curtains!! I know I have asked you before, but, where do you buy the garden balls. I have gone to every Ross there is. I live in California and I have hit up every Ross in a 50 mile radius. I have not found one. I did find some at Home Goods, but, they lit up and I didn't buy them. Now, I can kick myself as Home Goods is 45 miles away. :(. Love the bookcase also!
Love the look. I'm headed to Wayfair to take a look.
Love all of your warm colors – and especially your curtains!
Beautiful, Liz! And perfect for your home! Great buy.
Love your new drapes! I was a follower of your old blog, and was so sad to find it deleted. I just google you today on a whim, and found your new blog!!! I was so excited!! You are always such a great source for inspiration in home decor. So glad to see you back in the blogging world!Heather @ Ever Evolving Life 4-5
