Window Treatments, Take Two....

This Mama's a happy girl.  
I fixed a rather big decorating boo-boo.  
My family room before:
     
Oh, Lordy, that valance had to go. 
I had really wanted drapery panels + bamboo shades from the get go, 
but I had purchased a discontinued fabric (the lure of a bargain!!) 
and didn't have enough for 6 panels, so I had 4 panels plus a valance.  
I knew it was wrong the second I hung it up.

My family room now:


ahhhh, much better. 
Sorry, I hadn't planned to take pics today so I didn't make the shelves all picture worthy, there are board games on top of the armoire, maybe a magic 8 ball standing in as an accessory....
I gave the pillows a quick fluff and then snapped a few.
 Just look at the curtains people! thank you!




They are even prettier in person. (thank you, Linda!)
The perfect color linen. (SK Parchment from Ballard)
And they are so soft and hang so pretty.
I debated doing a contrasting banding but at the last minute decided to keep them simple.
I do need to add a bamboo shade to one window still.


And this last pic has nothing to do with anything, 
'cept I moved a blue and white lamp to my living room
chest and it changed that entire little nook.
Yes, empty frame alert.
Like I said, I hadn't planned on taking pictures!!

Happy Thursday!
