What an amazing difference! I am the first to admit that I am scared of pattern and bold color. It took me a long time to finally pick a fabric and actually order it. I went with this beautiful damask coral fabric from Waverly and I am so glad I took the leap of faith and hit the order button. Only problem was that now I had 6+ yards of not-cheap fabric that I was going to have to sew, and sew straight at that. Luckily my friend Josh came to my rescue and offered to fabricate and LINE my curtains for me!
I didn’t think the black out lining was going to be much different from my already lined drapes from RH, but wow, it makes a huge difference. We have a southern facing house, and my office is right in the front of the house and the afternoon sun is brutal. Being able to close the curtains with the black out lining makes the afternoons much more pleasant in here.
Adding the cheeriness of the color and the pattern has really brought joy to my days. In case you didn’t know I work, full-time, from home. So I sit in this office at least 40 hours a week, usually more because I come back in here at night to craft and design.
