Yessss! I have FINALLY entered the stage in our renovation where we are decorating! It’s like the icing on the cake. 
The kids and I are hashing through what we really want for design. I never really had any kind of concrete plan until about two weeks ago! I was so caught up in the “bones” of the renovation, that– even though I did have a general feel for basic architectural style– I really hadn’t formed a color scheme or design plan.
It helps very much to visit decor websites to get inspiration. It’s even better to visit decor websites and discover gorgeous styles for affordable prices. Look at this style, isn’t it heavenly? It looks like Scarlett O’Hara is going to walk by any moment.
These are also very beautiful. They are a tad too contemporary for my Greek Revival home, but would look beautiful in a modern home, or perhaps a cabin.
These are just a smidgen of the exquisite styles I found at CurtainWorks.com. Not only do they sell curtains, they offer advice on curtains, too– there’s step-by-step instructions on how to measure your curtains *just right* (I had no idea– no wonder mine always turned out rather funky); there’s a nice FAQ, and a curtain glossary, too. Curtainworks.com attempts to appeal to the DIY’er like me, and design professionals, too. They have an affiliate program for accredited design professionals (20% off all purchases). For us DIY’ers, CurtainWorks.com helps us make the best choices– they offer five free fabric swatches at a time so we can see, feel, and choose the best curtain. They aim to please, definitely. The site is very high class, and CurtainWorks.com obviously places premium on customer service. I nearly swooned over some of the curtains. What on earth will I choose?!?
So this is a much more exciting time than I thought it would be. I was kind of dreading the decor stage of the renovation, just because I didn’t have a vision. But now that it is starting to form, I am SO STOKED!! Pictures of my selection of CurtainWorks.com curtains to come. Just wait until you see!!!
:) I’m a married mom of four teenage children. We live in Upstate New York. We bought an old 1855 home and acre property, over 10 years ago. We've been in the slow, agonizing process of living in the home while (trying) to renovate it. When I'm not renovating, I'm a freelance writer and blogger.
We've learned to dig a French drain, plant huge flower and vegetable gardens, wire a circuit panel, install furnace ducting, understand the enigmatic complexities of the plumbing system, and more. It's been *quite* the adventure.
