Living room progress (PIP)

[emoflamingo]

I finally hung curtains!



I got the purple pillows at BB&B (they're chenille, I guess):



The couch needs cleaned up, the rug needs ordered and I'm still working on tracking down another freakin lamp shade (Target in 4 cities are all out-of-stock!).

Not pictured: the mess behind me I am on H about getting out of my house.

Pretty curtains. They look nice, but you can't close them, can you?

I have 4 panels and this window is smaller than our last living room's so I should be able to if I wanted. The only obstacle is the hooks at the top (since it's 114", I had to use all 4 wall hooks).

Oh, and the blinds are usually closed. Since it was snowing out and H went to work today, I had them open so I could watch for him when he got home. Good thing I did, he got his car stuck down the block and had to walk up the hill.

I saw the hooks at the top...that's what made me ask. I noticed the blinds too, so I figured that you didn't need to close the curtains anyway.

Looks great! Love the pillows!

[lolc]

Very nice!!

TBM I thought about putting two panels covering the window frames on the inside (they look fine in pictures but they are pretty beat up) but I figured that'd be a recipe for disaster with the cat so I just left them as is. I may experiment with them later on, since it's just a couple screws to move the rod out and adjust the panels.

I really like those lamps! Where did you get them?

ETA: The whole room looks great! I missed saying that part in my excitement over the lamps.

[emoflamingo]

thiswillbe, they are from Target! The lamp base is Target Home #074 00 0063 (still has the tag on the one without the shade because I'm lazy) and the shades were the Threshold large white drum shade. Very popular, since I've been to (or sent someone to) 5 Targets and still can't find a second!

EMO - our target never seems to run out of anything ... if you can find it online and link me a pic or an item number, I'd be glad to buy you a second shade and mail it.

Thank you! The number is super helpful, too. How nice of you!

I do think the fullness is pretty, but I think it would look really nice with the two panels over the inside frames.

I think it looks great! And I really like those pillows (the patterned ones, I really like the print).

This makes me realize how badly I need to get my butt in gear and hang curtains.

FormerlyRR, I can move the end tables, but not much. I have more room on one side, but because of that stupid shoe thing, I don't have space on that side to move it over at all. I actually moved it all 6 inches to the right to make it all fit. I'm looking for a different shoe solution, since we don't wear shoes in the house, but that was $free.99 from our old house, so I'm trying to make it work for now.

mrs.jacinthe, thanks! I know a friend of mine found it in a city near her and was trying to get it to her store, but then the epic snow storm happened and I don't think it arrived. I did find it online, I just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

thiswillbe, you're welcome!

I'll fiddle with the curtains tonight if I can and post a new pip to see what the general consensus is.

[TBM]

Emo- can you turn the shoe cubby thing on it's side, so that it is taller and narrower?
