As you know if you’ve been reading this here blog, (and WHY WOULDN’T YOU BE!?!?) I have had a lot of changes in my house lately! My new kitchen from Granite Transformations will be revealed TOMORROW! I also recently had the privilege to get a curtain makeover from Curtainworks.com, and now you have a chance to win one, too! Let me tell you about our curtains. First, the old. We were badly in need of a curtain makeover. All we had on the six windows in our living room were some plain valances we bought 9 years ago when we moved it. They were as plain as can be because a) Bobby and I do not have a “flair” for decor and b) we had two cats at the time who would scratch the crap out of any decent curtains. You can see our old valances in the background of this picture. This is what we had on all six windows. Ho-hum. YAWN.
These things were so dusty when we took them down! I never paid them a bit of attention. They were unremarkable.
Since we got rid of our cats last year (best heartless decision I have EVER made), we were ready for some REAL curtains!! I really wanted some sheers to still let some light in. I loves me some daylight. Curtainworks.com has a huge selection of all kinds of curtains for EVERY room in the house – so I had no trouble finding what I was looking for! Here’s what we chose, a sheer curtain and sheer top treatment. We have them arranged this way on our two sets of double windows:
And this way on our two single windows:
I personally love that we could get matching curtains for all our windows and arrange them slightly differently for a little variety but still have them go perfectly together!
Aren’t those better than our boring old valances? I’d say so!

we need a curtain makeover so bad. We redid our living room except for the curtains. We have the decorative rods up but no curtains on them. Just old fashioned mini blinds covering our windows. I really want something bold and decorative, darker colors or patterns. Thanks for the giveaway!
My wife needs some new curtains very badly. She has no taste and I would love to pick out something and surprise her. Thanks for the giveaway!
nice job on the makeover!
I like you on FB!
I like the 2nd look better!
I really love your curtain makeover. I am a huge fan of the color you choose. I also like the way the top of the curtain folds down like that. I am sure that this just has completed the overall look of your room.

I would love some darkening drapes- or some cute kids curtains! Our kids are now sharing a room since our downsizing and finding something to work for both of them has been so hard!
I’m a facebook fan!
I would choose Marquee Faux Silk Drape in peacock.
You did a great job on your recent makeover of your window treatments. It really adds class to your home. Job well done!! I need a makeover for my home. I hope I am considered. Thanks!
I would definitely LOVE to have the Astor Wide Width Corduroy Curtains for at least one of my rooms. They are beautiful. I also like the Othello Modern Geometric Curtain Panels, maybe for my extra bedroom. The tie up valance would work perfect in my kitchen or bathroom. I would need the hardware to go with the curains. I really hope I am considered for the makeover. Thanks!
