I did my usual fretting about choosing a color for the drapes (or anything, for that matter). I like it, no--I dont' like it. Oh, wait a minute---am I thinking through someone else's eyes or mine?
Should I choose neutral, more the shade of the trim? No. Too bland. Short story is I picked this color swatch, brought it home and laid it on the rug, the chair, the sofa, the wall, and I picked it. I needed 17.5 yards, and there was exactly that much on the bolt. A sign? Probably not. Anyway, here is one shot of how it looks in my living room now. When I first walked in to the house and saw them yesterday, I liked them! When I was sitting on the couch last night, I thought maybe I should have gone bland....Right now, I think I like them.
