Finally got the bedroom drapes up

There's always a fine line when balancing "hard" and "soft" elements when decorating.  And of course, personal preference (and climate) plays a part in the equation, as well.  As cold as it is here in Minnesota, I'm definitely drawn towards cozying things up.  And our bedroom is no exception - especially with such a large expanse of windows on the southern wall.  So almost exactly 180 days since moving in, I finally installed the draperies - and WOW what a difference it makes.  

Proof, here is a Before photo

and a shot from the upper landing, looking in.

After waking up this morning to 20 degree temps outside (and a slick of ice covering every imaginable surface), we really appreciated how comfortable things are finally starting to feel inside.

Jim teases me that he's tired of hearing me say it . . . but I really LOVE this house ♥

Hi Bee,
Looks great. Getting ready for the big
festive rush? We are in the middle of putting Timber flooring through our home.
Then painting to do. So I get to have a
bit of a change around while we are at it.
Also thanks for inspiring me to join Etsy.
I'm doing vintage and love it! Check it out

screen printing soon.
Cheerio,
Sue
