It really is a great print for draperies! For wall colour, I can totally see a paler version of what you have - a warm, gold. Looking forward to seeing what you do next!<br />VictoriaDesignTieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561438683476880640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246043429744178187.post-23826067299126151322010-03-31T10:44:43.972-04:002010-03-31T10:44:43.972-04:00Loving the flip side of the curtains!

In addition, I think it's fabulously "green" of you to recycle the fabric, rather than creating new window treatments. Well done! And for the record, your walls do NOT look like they have been overly spray tanned. Haha. And in terms of a new shade for your walls, I second Maria, our resident "Queen of Color". :) White sofa... yes indeed, I understand completely with 3 children still at home, plus three dogs. TRICKY, at best!

How about "Lime White" from Farrow & Ball? I know, their paint is expensive, but a paint store can also match the formula!

I like the new side. I'm lightening things up around here too.<br />I went with Latte and Nomadic Desert. (Sherwin Williams)<br />I'm happy with it.<br /><br />I know you'll pick the perfect color. I think that lighter circle in that pattern on your drapes would be great. It will blend with your rug, couch (as is or with a slip cover).<br />♥ JoyJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11198238631600746173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246043429744178187.post-3446155397390002622010-03-29T20:19:15.362-04:002010-03-29T20:19:15.362-04:00Those window treatments just pop now!!!

I had a very used and abused white slip covered chair in my LR. I didn't have to wash it that often. It's still in great condition some 15 years later!Koleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00248290873145151407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246043429744178187.post-68087579689872827602010-03-29T19:35:03.276-04:002010-03-29T19:35:03.276-04:00Oh wow they look great!

Now, if you could invent a way to make pleated draperies truly reversible, THAT would be a real money maker. They look beautiful, both ways. <br /><br />I hear ya on the slipcovers. White will never work for me (and I don't have kids at home) but I'm thinking a nice subtle, tone-on-tone tan print could be the ticket! <br /><br />Good luck with your painting.
