Rami's not the only one who knows how to drape

I'm not sure what motivates the decision to tackle certain projects but when the bug hits or the fever strikes or the fire ignites I'm in go go go mode. This round it's getting curtains for the two rooms downstairs. Let's get this done.

Front room currently looks like this. The curtain rod is flimsy metal. The drapes are white cotton from Ikea, nothing wrong with that.

But the new idea is Roman flat shades in Putty brown.

They'll give the windows a nice tucked-in look and keep the room warm and cozy.

The back doors are getting a clean up. Currently they have sagging tension rods shoved inside the frame as high as I can reach. New plan are solar shades and a single drape that will open to the right.

I'm guessing between ordering the curtains and scheduling the installation they'll be up before Thanksgiving.
