Curtains

This week, I made new curtains for the window in the upstairs hallway landing. Previously, there were just blinds and a plain valance (see here). I put up these tabbed curtains instead - they are ice-blue taffeta with a brown flocked damask pattern on them:


It's amazing how a different window covering can change the look of a space. The landing seems cozier now, with these new curtains.

Although they turned out fairly well, I think I'm going to get a professional to make up new curtains for the living room downstairs (I'm getting a bit tired of the Roman blinds there now). I want them to look nice, and I'm worried I may botch the job. As soon as I can find fabric I like, I'll be ready to go on that project.
