Did I mention curtains in my last post? Was it yesterday? The day before? Ahh, I lose track of time on my days off.
Maybe you’ll remember the duvet cover that I found quite a few months back. I had the idea of curtains for Princess of the Universe. However, after painting, her room is not quite the right shade of green for this fabric. And she lets out a mortifying gasp when I mention putting flowered fabric in her bright room Oh well. I was tired of what was in the den anyway, so into the den the new curtains went.
Today’s a work day, but I love walking into the den and looking at the curtains I made on my days off this week! Did I use a pattern? No. Are they perfect. No. Will they do? Yes! Because I think they fit right in with the frayed-elegance look of Shabby Chic.
Of course there are other aspects of the room that are so not shabby chic, such as deer heads on the wall (Thanks, Hubby), and don’t forget that this is our science and nature room, with microscope, etc. Little shabby chic touches here and there make me happy though.
Hubby would really be in trouble if I was the kind of woman who had a hard time living with a mix-and-match decor. 
Happy Friday!

Hi Lynn,
I love the curtains. The colors work well with your cushions. I think you did a great job. Perfection is not the goal in my decorating but comfort and personal expression is. As for the deer heads…they just add to the eclectic ambiance!
Have a fabulous friday,
Diane
PS. Thanks for visiting my new blog and your kind comments.
Dear Lynn,
Such pretty curtains! I’m sure the deer appreciate a little feminine touch.
Hope your new school year is coming along well.
Love,
Marqueta
Thanks, Diane! My home is simple and comfortable. Nothing fancy here. I do love Shabby Chic, though, and I have one of Rachel Ashwell’s books. I want to start bringing more of that look to my home. It’s easier with the children getting older.
Marqueta, I think they are pretty — in a simple country way.
I know the deer are just loving it! Should I bring out the scarves and hats again? 
Lynn
Your curtains are perfect and match great with your couch! :O)
Thanks, Barb!
