Saga no more! You may remember a few months ago when my living room drama began to unfold.... aka Furniture Nightmare. Operation Overhall? Well, one thing I've been searching and researching over the last several months is the idea of window coverings. With two big bright beautiful windows we've been blessed with so much sunshine streaming into our house, that quite frankly, our furniture takes a faded beating and our ability to watch risque movies and shows bordering on soft core porn (True Blood anyone?!?!?) have been compromised.
Well! at long last, I DID manage to find some draperies that didn't break the bank, that I really like AND a drapery rod solution that I could more than happily live with.
The result? DARK. BROODING. I LOVE IT! It feels complete. I feel grown up.
My living room now resembles a cozy lounge-like room where I see many glasses of deep dark reds paired with heavy stinky cheese and rich dark chocolate, many deep and meaningful discussions, the resuming of risque movie viewing and furniture that will keep its lustrous shade for many years to come. Its dark. Its warm. Its inviting. After five years of overexposing our furniture and our life to our street, it was finally time to enact the ability to close our drapes on the world.
I'm sure my neighbors are going to wonder what the hell is going on!
