Curtones

Double score.

The curtains that I've chosen in the past few months have been plaguing me. In addition to picking the wrong ones and not realizing it until I'd hemmed six pairs (that's 12 curtains, people), we also chose some really heavy white ones for the living room that are too long. After the hemming fiasco, though, I really wasn't down to hem any more, so the living room curtains are just dragging the floor by about 5" at the moment. Not cool.

J and I have been eyeballing them for a few weeks, muttering how ugly they are and how heavy they look. So I perused west elm (my favorite for curtains!) and found these bad boys (Y, I know you're laughing at me right now!):


Nice, airy, and green - our main accent color for the living room. What's better is that the size and color we want are on sale from the already good $29 regular price down to $12.99. And (here's where the 'double score' comes in!) then I found a coupon code for 20% off (20MORE) items already on sale. PLUS, they come with free shipping. So really it should be 'triple score'!

The grand total: $11.01. Can't beat that!

They'll need a little hemming (sigh), but I think I'll actually fake a serge just to keep things in tact without weighing down these lovely light guys with a heavy hem. Wish me luck with that!
