This weekend, curtains are on the agenda.  Originally I had pinned down classic white curtains with black trim (pictured below) for our family room, but I am second guessing the decision.  This week I have been whipping out mood boards for lots of different spaces and I realized I didn’t put a white drape on any of them.  Am I chickening out in my own home?

    Good luck in your decision!! We currently have plain white curtains in our living/dining area, but I just ordered a navy blue ikat print that i can’t wait to put up! I like the white but I think a pattern adds SO much to a room.

    P.S. That is awesome that you are doing so many mood boards! Are you going to post about them on the blog? I’d love to see what you suggest to others.

  2. Ooo! Blue Ikat sounds so pretty! I don’t think I can devote a post to each mood board, but I would love to put them all in one place on the blog and maybe feature one every so often.

    I am having the same problem! We need curtains and I am so back and forth on what I want… Our house may never be totally decorated because I like too many things; I can’t make a decision! haha

  7. I do a little bit of all three but for your room with the white built-ins I think a pattern would look amazing!

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
