You are right, the couch shoul...Thanks, Elisabeth!<br /><br />You are right, the couch should be the deciding factor in decorating the living room. <br /><br />I did check Craig's List, but really don't have time to search right now. Sounds like a great buy for you, though!<br /><br />Since the curtains were dry rotted beyond repair, I did search for something neutral that will go with what we have now and possibly still work in the future...found the perfect ones at JC Penneys "Sensational swag and valance set (semi-sheer)", but they no longer carry them. <br /><br />I found some lace curtains that cover 3/4 of the window, that gather up in the center of each section for $5.00 a pair. Spent $20.00 altogether - so I'm using those for now. They let in lots of light, but afford a bit of privacy, too. I'll post pics later.Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14211350761899434098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1486682849765011494.post-38551133267924342472012-03-28T07:55:51.077-07:002012-03-28T07:55:51.077-07:00Hmmm, I know how it is to have to make a decision....Hmmm, I know how it is to have to make a decision. I wait sometimes for YEARS. But that's not what you want to hear, right? ha ha<br /><br />I would not do anything with the curtains until you have the couch like you want. Have you looked on Craigslist? We recently got 2 leather loveseats for $450 from there. I don't know how much it would cost to reupholster but I've heard it can be quite a bit... but I would recommend a couch that is a solid color. Let your accessories and other things in the room get the attention with their patterns and not the couch.<br /><br />After you get your couch like you want I would then look at the curtains again and decide what you want to do. I probably wouldn't choose a dark shear just because I like light to be able to stream into my room. But that's my personal preference.<br /><br />Anyways, have fun sprucing things up. It's always enjoyable to change things up a bit. My husband doesn't get that. He could live with something for.e.v.e.r.Elisabethhttp://treasuringthemoments.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1486682849765011494.post-11964031733237309342012-03-27T12:14:02.485-07:002012-03-27T12:14:02.485-07:00I think the curtains you have up now are pretty an...I think the curtains you have up now are pretty and clean. :) Yay for Momma!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09760614853507366205noreply@blogger.com
