Love the sheer drapes you made and the other changes that were done to your neighbor's home. Lucky neighbor!<br /><br />I couldn't help but notice the bar cart in the room. You didn't mention it but it's similar to what I'm looking for. Any idea where it came from?<br /><br />I think you're kind and generous to share your vision and expertise.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />BrendaBrendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13017783702978548133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-62117209648215309472012-06-25T07:54:48.644-04:002012-06-25T07:54:48.644-04:00I am listening...and learning about your ideas/opi...I am listening...and learning about your ideas/opinion about how the curtains should be hung at windows. I do get it and mostly do like what you like. <br /><br />But what about those of us that live in the poorer side of town and need to close off the view or the sounds? And those of us that live in a cold climate and need to close out the COLD and wind for 6 to 7 months of the year and depend on the drapes to close out the cold in the winter and the curtains to close out the sun in the hot summer??<br /><br />This is going to sound like a"poor me" story so I apologize in advance. We are retirees on a fixed income and we don't have A/C in our home and need to close up the house (ie drapes) in the day to keep out the intense sun and heat. <br /><br />The heat/sun ruined my old couch, carpet and chairs in less than 10 years. The fabric faded and ripped.<br /><br />Before I bought new furniture, I did purchase special roll up shades that block 85% of the sun while still allowing the view to be seen and that has helped to protect the new furniture. But we still need our vinyl lined drapery on the south side of our home that over looks a Class A roadway (think 16 wheeler trucks/farm equipment/noise/dirt) and the HOT BAKING SUN!<br /><br />What can a person do about curtains/drapes/shutters in these adverse conditions and still NOT cover their windows?<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br />Small House / Big Sky Donna<br />http://smallhouseunderabigsky.wordpress.comHouse Crazy in Michigan!https://www.blogger.com/profile/06069554052596515946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-88620618314272450442012-05-24T20:38:57.613-04:002012-05-24T20:38:57.613-04:00A wonderful transformation, Betsy!

I love ALL the changes - wall color, hutch stripped of the red paint, sheers at the windows, white slip-covered furniture vs. dark leather, and I like the green seat fabric much better than the striped. And I'm assuming from your parting comments about Sergio that everything has gotten HIS stamp of approval. ;)<br /><br />Liz @ The Brambleberry CottageLiz @ the Brambleberry Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15884107407813083090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-46905641001829996522012-05-23T14:50:54.042-04:002012-05-23T14:50:54.042-04:00soooo much better!
