Curtain Call


So Brian, Tucker and I have been living in a fish bowl- our family room has one huge picture window with NO BLINDS!  AHHH- this has been driving me crazy since we moved in and as of today...our neighbors can no longer see us watching TV or Brian doing his P90X.... sorry ladies!
As a reminder- here is what it looked like before:
love the window- but no privacy!
Eric (who is awesome and fixes everything in our house!)
installing the ceiling mounted track
I ordered some burlap panels from Ballard Designs and a ceiling mount rod from Curtain-Tracks.com.
Burlap Panel
Hanging Curtains- we decided on 5 hooks per panel- 6 panels total


I love how they turned out!  I will warn you- the burlap smells a little like gas... Eric has told me this is normal and it is nothing that some Frebez won't take of- so I'm not worried.
I'm pretty happy about this project!  The only thing I might tweak is adding more hooks per panel... we will see!


Brian enjoying some TV.... or is that smile because of the the curtains???

  1. I've seen those curtains in Ballard's catalog and love them. They look awesome in your family room! I know how much I hate not having privacy at night, so I'm sure you're enjoying being able to cover that window up.

  2. I think the room looks WONDERFUL! :) You do such a nice job!! I have to ask... I love your couch! It looks so comfy but also looks nice. Where did you get it?

    1. Thanks Rachel! The couch is the "comfort series" sectional from Pottery Barn- it is AMAZING! super comfortable and it is slipcovered so clean up is easy (but about 3 loads of laundry". The fabric is a cotton linen blend and the color is "light camel"
