Shimmer and Lace

The curtains...

ooooooh, the curtains!

These turned out even better than I had dreamed them in my head!

And I always love it when that happens.

So, if you hadn't noticed from some of my other decor,

I'm bringing gold back.

I love the look of it and

the contrast of the silver and gold together

with the lace,

oh, goodness,

it makes me swoon.

It's so romantic.

When I had originally painted the room,

I was planning on keeping the blue curtains we had

but dying them a grayish kind of hue.

Then I had the idea to go for a dark, dark brown.

Long story short... they ended up a disturbing shade of purple.

So, when I just happen to stumble upon the silver fabric

for $1.50 a yard,

I took that as a sign that I was supposed to enhance our space with it.

The lace was around $2;

the gold fabric was on sale (later found at a different store)

for around $5;

and the backing was around $8

(with my 50% coupon to Joanne's... thanks Jess!).

That's $21, people...

for four custom panels.

I LOVE IT!

What's your take on gold these days??
