Window dressings

We talked about making some changes in our bedroom, I agrred that we change it up but also wanted different window coverings.

Originally we had bought a do one cover that we liked and I made curtains from them but as it was only a light cotton, the colours faded after a few years. Next I bought gold curtain fabric, the gold to match our silk doona cover, however there are different types of gold and curtains were a green gold, so one cover is a yellow gold, they don't match! A girlfriend offered to make the curtains for me as I had started back at work. They were made very well but with block out on the back  it was so dark.

Changed them after five years, I was determined to have them for at least that long. The first two sets were on rods and cords to open. The last pair are on rings and much easier to operate (and make).
Current curtains until lunchtime.
 Now we have a blind. We were thinking of getting verticals but No one was available and we couldn't go too far, either we waited or we bought it ourselves and also installed it ourselves. We went for the rod, on the left, rather than cords.

Now to the next bit in May.
