All the accessories, etc....Your room is so pretty. All the accessories, etc. are perfect. Only one thing I wanted to mention to you to bring the windows together is you should hang your curtains at the same height on both windows/doors. The curtain with the band at the bottom is hung too high for the room. I know you hear people all the time saying hang them as high as possible. This is not the correct way to hang curtains. You should hang them mid way between the top of the window/molding and the ceiling. That way you still have wall above the rod and below and it is balanced looking. Also, if at all possible, try to hang the same type of curtains in the room. For instance, right now you have rod pocket on one window and loops on the other. Pick one and go with it.<br /><br />I hope you don't mind my expert opinion on the curtains. I think your room is gorgeous and with the adjustment to the curtains, it will be perfect.

Loved the family pictures in there too.<br />If I find something blue/brown in my house I'll post. It's the color combo I was looking to do in my son's bedroom (he doesn't know, he went off to college) but of course I haven't started the project yet!<br />JaneJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07951102874653675235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492363525800683157.post-86714155195036350872010-09-26T01:20:13.842-04:002010-09-26T01:20:13.842-04:00Cindy,

And...to...So pretty. I just love blue and brown!!<br /><br />And...to answer your question about the Ektorp sofa...my mother in law bought one a few years ago that was extra soft and cushy. Mine is much less so, but it has worn in a little and is softer than it was at first. That said, it is not our main "watch movies" sofa, so that comfort factor wasn't nearly as important for me. I am quite happy with it overall, though.<br /><br />Hope this helps!<br />WendyWendy https://www.blogger.com/profile/15230275665633920902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492363525800683157.post-50007403168488077052010-09-24T12:02:56.883-04:002010-09-24T12:02:56.883-04:00Gorgeous colors - very calm and soothing... droppi...Gorgeous colors - very calm and soothing... dropping by from the hutch party.<br /><br />...KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492363525800683157.post-59960214385807354522010-09-24T11:19:32.445-04:002010-09-24T11:19:32.445-04:00I love the vintage sewing table turned night stand...I love the vintage sewing table turned night stand!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08735759503461957770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492363525800683157.post-30256275537733824222010-09-24T09:41:16.503-04:002010-09-24T09:41:16.503-04:00What a beautiful bedroom you have Cindy!
