Draped

Happy Friday!  I have been swamped this week unpacking all of our little things.  Although it's certainly fun, I also find myself asking quite often things like:  "Why on earth do I have so many candles???" and "Why do I need so many vases?!"...ugh.  I know I'll be glad I have all of these beauties when I am done but it IS getting a bit tedious!  It also means it's keeping me away from the wonderful blogs out there that I love to visit for inspiration as well as doing posts as regularly as I'd like.  Thanks for sticking with me, continuing to read, and for leaving comments.  I am reading them and appreciate them.  I will be back soon to the normal "blogger me", I promise. :)

Anyway, drapes are one of the things on my mind for the new house so I thought I'd share a few beautiful examples with you all today.  We are lucky to have many windows and doors in the house, but that means a lot of exposure to our new neighbors!  So, having beautiful drapes is in order and I must say I'm looking forward to it.  :)  Here are a few great ideas:

Is there anything prettier than a shimmery silk draped pooled along the floor?

    Sounds like you are close to the end of getting settled. Easy for me to say, but I remember.
    Happy Friday, Barbara.

  3. Hi Barbara, hang in there! I'm sure your making lots of progress. We just ordered window coverings for our living room and dining room - floor length shimmering silk in the palest of gray. Can't wait for them to arrive. Hope you can get a way from the boxes a bit and enjoy the weekend! XO
