New colors

For my birthday a couple months ago I got some new bedding for our bed.  I ran across an AWESOME deal at TJ Maxx and just couldn't pass it up (I got everything including bed skirt and a couple shams not on yet for less than $90).  Big thanks to Ann for helping me alter the duvet to fit better.  I am really loving the slate blue and brown color scheme lately for some reason so it's perfect.  I took some pictures, but they really don't do it justice the blue is much prettier in person.  IMG_3079 Now I'd like to finally put something on the windows.  What would you do?? I'm thinking something in the brown/tan colors for more contrast.  Would you do full curtains to the ground or something more like a valance?  They are two big windows...I'd love to hear your ideas!

I love your bedding, very pretty. I just read all the way back to the Dieter F. Uchtdorf (is that how you spell it?) post and caught up. I love Liam's funny face. The rolling shelves would be so nice. If I were in my own house I would totally have you teach me how to make them.

Very nice, Jen! I am redoing my living window treatments and have been scouring bhg.com and countryliving.com and hgtv.com.

I would do short curtains so they didn't detract to much from the bed. Maybe just below the window sill. That's the length I have in our bedroom and Baylie's bedroom and I really like it.

P.S. Don't forget to send me the pattern for the cardboard shelves. I'd like to try it out.
