Changing my mind....a womans choice

This was the curtains in our dining room the day we moved in but with orange walls.

We painted the room to a more taupe color but I have been struggling with this sliding glass door

since the day we moved in.

This door faces west and gets all the afternoon sun so it needs a good cover.

To me this was just ugly!

But to be honest my husband kinda liked it because it was neutral.

I wanted it to look french country and scream breakfast room.

I found this cute fabric in Arkansas and made these valances and drapes

but after living with them for a week, I couldn't stand them.

They just looked too much and were overwhelming.

My husband agreed

So I took the valances down

Added the plaid fabric, and found the rod at Lowes .
The rod really matches the lighting and fits better in the room.
My husband thinks it is less cluttered.



I guess I can change my mind, I see this happen on a lot of blogs and

I think it must be normal.

So stay tuned it could happen again.


My husband still needs to install all the hardware for the new rod.
And I need to sew the trim and hem the bottom
But I think it looks much better!

Any suggestions?
