It sounds like it could be a very serious post by the ACLU or something right?
But no, not nearly that serious.
Like fashion, I have the basics of decorating down. Colors should match and/or "go." Looks should be somewhat consistent. Furniture should be puppy/kid friendly (this is decorating for MY house after all).
But also like fashion, going bold or big-ish things stump me. Big-ish including four 34 inch wide windows in my living room.
So I'm crowd-sourcing. What do I do with these? Here are my parameters as I see/know them now.
- Casual and contemporary: We aren't a very formal family and neither is our home.
- Natural light: I really love the afternoon light I can have through these windows and would like to retain it. Also Ross loves him a dark cave of a room. If he has heavy lined curtains he can close, our living room will never see the light of day. I want to make turning the living room into a cave difficult to impossible.
- Big room: The living room is huge. HUGE I tell you. I think we need to use the curtains to make it cozier, not bigger.
PS How is it that curtains, fairly easy to replace, scare me but paint does not? It's like how I can't keep a cactus alive but dogs and children seem to be no problem. Bizzare-o-world.
