I don't like the pattern/color that much. On the site it looks like a pale baby blue with cream. In real life it's like a textured blue, almost like denim...chambray-ish. And the pattern is light brown.
Not what I was expecting at all so it threw me.
It actually matches my living room perfectly, better than the colors I thought it would be would have. I just don't know if I love them.
Opinions??? Keep in mind I have like 10% of the shopping options you guys do, and I've been looking for almost 18 months and this is the first ones that have been even contenders that I can afford. I am pretty sure I am keeping them but I am just not in love with them. I think they are a great choice but it's just that the picture in my head was so different than what I got - I feel like this isn't what I ordered! I think I like them, it's just not what I was expecting...
Curtains are on the left, the blue thing on the right is my throw blanket on the sofa. I am not married to the throw pillows - I am probably going to swap them for some that are cream with blue stripes.
i think you have to hang them to really decide. from the picture, i like them, but i totally know what you mean about not getting what you expected. i think this is also why i take forever to buy things... i refuse to commit unless i see it in person. so i'm stuck with what's offered locally or i wait until i'm in the states.
I agree to hang them and then decide. It sounds like they are a good option and probably an additional throw pillow or two will seal the deal if you are still on the fence.
Thanks girls! I actually have afew good stores for buying nice rods, it's just that this window is so huge that I need a massively long rod (thats what she said) so it's just pricey no matter what.
I can probably afford it soon - just sucks to have to wait a few weeks to hang them Whether you think your daycare costs too much or not - daycare providers are certainly not rolling in dough

I almost bought those curtains the other day!
Have you ever thought about making your own rods? It's super easy I swear. I needed three rods for a room in our house and to get what I wanted was about $200.00 and that just seemed crazy. I was just looking for a 3/4 inch black basic rod without anything fancy on the ends. I had one very long window to cover too.
I bought two 10 foot lengths of conduit ($6ish), a can of black spray ($4) paint and a three packages ($4 each) of brackets. I borrowed the pipe cutter and you can buy a cheap one but a hack saw will do the same thing. Cut them to size, paint and hang. For the ends I just bought cheap wooden drawer pulls, painted them and stuck them in the ends with some tacky glue. Worked like a charm and you would never know that they were a DIY for under $20. I promise you they look nice and not like a cheap DIY project.
