I wish I was a domestic diva. You know the type. The ones with the perfectly decorated houses and matching everything that when you walk in you think "oh that's cute". But I'm not. Nor will I ever be...which is why picking out curtains is stressing me out. I want my house to be cute. I want my friends and family to come over and for my house to feel homey, and comfortable, and have people say "Oh, that's just so cute!". So...friends and family- who right now all live far, far away...to far to come on a shopping trip to JcPenny Home Store...I am asking for your HELP! You can leave a comment...or you can send me an email- but I beg you- I need help. I do not want my curtains to be a repeat of the periwinkle bedroom paint experience. So here we go... the two rooms that have me the most stressed are, of course, the two that 100% of people who come to visit will see... the kitchen and the living room.
Here are my two living room windows (doesn't the paint look better?!):
Some curtain options for the living room (compliments of www.countrycurtains.com ):
Option A- I thought a sheer curtain in the living room would allow in the most light but still give us some privacy from the road.
Option B - this is a semi-sheer with the tabs. It would fit in with the country charm I'm going for.
Option C - what I liked about this is the rod...but I'm not sure how it would work on the picture window.
Option D - I thought this was a pretty floral- and would go nicely with the green walls.More options to come...

I'm so bad at this too!!! You need Stephanie's help....she's great at this stuff!
SHEER CURTAINS DO NOT GIVE YOU PRIVACY!!!!!! AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAGUE.
Option B. I love those curtains. Go with a slightly heaver fabric that you would think....and make sure that the rods you get are heavier duty than you would think. Because you don't tend to "tie back" this type of curtain, the rod takes all of the weight all of the time, so the rod and brackets take a decent weight load. The brackets are the key. Make sure what ever rod set you get has good thick and sturdy brackets that go into the wall. Soft metal and thin brackets will start to sag over time...and anchor them in the wall appropriately.
I think that moveable rod is so cute... the other two rods are cute too!
