Curtains

The local shop that made our curtains couldn't have been more helpful.  Not only do the curtains look fantastic, the owner came to hang them (professionally, rather than seeming as if they've been opened in a hurry which mine usually look like) and brought some tiebacks for us to have a look at to see if there were any we liked.

There was so much choice.  Most were cheaper than I expected, but some were really expensive!!!

Some were simple...

Others very elaborate...

Some were downright ostentatious...

We decided on these for the living room.

To match our curtain fabric.

In the side extension, we used fabric from curtains we already had.

We had enough fabric to make a set of new curtains, and by adding a complementary fabric, four roman blinds for the windows.  This room is full of light, I love it.

But note the pile of rubble and rampant weeds outside...
