Well, to round out the pictures of the living room, to the left, this is a view of the curtains from the living room entrance, with the curtains open. The outer edge of the curtains are about seven or eight inches from the corner of the walls. We think the colors blend really nicely, and the open look is very good.
To the right is a view from the other side of the room. Still very nice, the fireplace has to be on a slightly different angle than before, but it still works.
Now to the left, this is the view once again from the room entrance with the curtains closed. This is a rather different look as we have never had solid closed curtains before, and it's taking some getting used to. From floor to ceiling is quite a swath of curtain, and Bev wonders if it looks like the room is getting smaller. Full length curtains like this are in vogue right now, but do you think it over powers the room. We like the curtains mind you. Just are wondering if they should just go to the top of the window instead. Of course that would be old and passe.
To the right is the view (curtains closed) from the other side of the room. The picture quality is not good, but the look I think is nice. The curtains , the new paint on the walls and the new furniture all blend to give the room a welcoming and warm appeal. (I should write for home magazines).
Finally, to the left, a picture from further back looking in. I think that from here everything seems to blend much better and to be in just the right scale. The curtains don't overpower the rest of the room. Actually after a few days with the curtains up, the feeling is a lot nicer and more inviting, and we're getting used to and are really starting to like the new look. It's growing on us.
We fed the Missionaries tonight and we had a fun time with them. They made us think about Steve and how he would look and act doing the same kinds of things in Ontario. In fact one of the missionaries is from Ontario, just north of Steve's mission home, and from the same Stake as the Temple out there.
well let us know your thoughts and decorating tips. Bye for now.
I like the new curtains. I think they go really well with the rest of the room. I don't think they are too overpowering. Most likely you'll have them open nmore oft than not, no?
ReplyDeleteThe house looks great. Can`t wait to see it in person. Of course, by then it`ll be just the norm. You guys have done a great job updating.
