Thank you for all your help on the living room drapes! There is a lot that goes into choosing window treatments and many people just skip them. Hopefully, this little interior design lesson will help simplify the shopping process and you, too, will get to enjoy beautiful windows that give that "moved in" feel. P.S. Tell me what you would do with my tall bookcase.

@alwaysinblue Год назад

Yay! You chose the beautiful plaid for drapes. I have never been able to decorate a room before, but watching you, I'm learning. I can landscape very well, but indoors design? Not until you . The bookcase? I'd step outside the usual and paint it a darker shade of the green of the velvet couch, but that's just me. I'm anxious to see what you choose, and why.

@SheHoldsDearly Год назад

Aww, that is the best compliment! Thank you so much!

@meganblasco2 Год назад

Painting the bookcase the wall color would be a savy way to give a richer and built in look.

@Annie-ni1fv Год назад

Yes paint it

@catherinecorn2371 11 месяцев назад

My mom always said that curtains are things like lace, and cotton, and tend to be on the thinner side and suitable for kitchens and bedrooms or as a sheer liner behind drapes. While drapes are lined and heavy and more suitable for living rooms and offices and you would layer them over the sheer curtains. We had gold drapes in the living room that hung on a pully system that you could pull a string to open and close. No need for blinds or shades. The kitchen and bedrooms had cotton curtains in various colors depending on the season and the decor. Back in the day, pre 90's, homemakers would often have curtains for each season for each room... The drapes remained the same year round.

@mariafusco7899 Год назад

I am not surprised you went with the rich brown drape. It looks very professional, very high end. The room looks so beautiful, Sarah!

@tinamcivor2996 Год назад

Lovely choice. Instead of the clip rings, I would suggest to line them, add pleater tape, insert curtain hooks and hang on the rings. The clips seem to casual to me.

@robindozier6529 Год назад

I love the room transformation. The curtains are beautiful. I think I'd paint the bookcase the same as the trim and walls.

@terrizimmerman5297 Год назад

Your drapery choice has given the room a greater dark academia vibe with masculine lines. Nice touch.

@karonnichols4558 Год назад

Wow!! The rods took the curtains to another level. Excellent choice. I would paint the shelf the same as trim and put it flat to the wall. Also fill it with only books...vintage of course!

@JLee-pc2vc Год назад

I vote for painting the bookcase semi-gloss Slate Tile. The curtains are perfect. The gilt coffee table looked so pretty sparkling in the background for this video.

@roxanevogel7203 Год назад

The room is coming along beautifully. I would definitely paint the bookcase the same color as the walls.

@roxannegreenway9567 Год назад

I love your choice of draperies. As far as your book shelf, it would be lovely painted with the same color as your trim and be repositioned flushed with the wall instead of at an angle. Then that space will look like a built in and more curated. Beautiful room.

@tinamcivor2996 Год назад

Yes I feel the same about that shelf. I think a floor to ceiling, simple, built-in shelf painted to match and filled with books would elevate the corner.

@cathleenvance4441 9 месяцев назад

Ohhhhh , I was hoping you chose the brown. Absolutely stunning. Those window treatments make all the difference in the world and those are the ones I chose. They lift this room to a new level. I really love what you've done with the design and color scheme.

@barbarathomas2471 Год назад

Slate paint for the bookcases. The room is lovely especially with the attention to detail that you always provide.

@jodic7760 Год назад

Sarah, I was hoping you would choose the dark brown curtains! The blue, green and brown look so good together. I can’t wait to see your living room finished.

@trudysenglishvictorianhome3244 Год назад

I absolutely LOVE the choice you made with your Curtains!! They add such warmth and are TOTALLY English Cottage vibe!!! 💖💖💖💖

@janetsmith1650 Год назад

The brown is perfect. You're right, it looks rich, bravo!

@user-pn3ml8xr1e 11 месяцев назад

The brown tattersall check draperies are beautiful. If you decide to take them down, line and maybe interline them, and add pinch pleats instead of flat panels, I think you will find that they really look elegant. The fabric you used is not inexpensive, and warrants a more formal finish. Pinch pleats with 2 folds instead of 3 might work better for heavy fabric. The draperies look great either way.

@shirleyprescott1528 Год назад

I would also add the blinds in a wood tone, or a matchstick blind to cover the starkness of the white windows. Then you dont have to pull the curtains shut ,,, just adjust the slats.

@katiasexton9225 Год назад

I loved the curtains already up, not my favorite, but they look great great great! throughout the room. Thank you for passing on your knowledge to us. I love watching all your videos over and over., because I learn so much from them. You area a very warm person and transmit peace

@cherylbrowning4588 Год назад

Bookcase color, my choice wall color. Blends into the wall, items on shelves stand out.

@user-ix1sf9wm8k Год назад

I just love listening to your expertise. You show us many choice for us to think about. Shara, I am always looking back on your past videos. Your personality is so sweet and I love it when you talk to your cute dog.

@rebeccacollier304 Год назад

Love what you have done so far with your remake. My vote is slate for the bookcase.

@KousaberryCottage Год назад

I was so happy to see you went with the brown curtains for balance, and boy do they look absolutely beautiful in your room! As for the bookcase, I would choose cream or white to give the eye a resting place and it would look nice with the white/cream lamp behind the sofa, but I have a feeling you may choose the wall color to make it look built in. No matter what you go with, I know you will make it look beautiful.

@angelaweathersbee1334 11 месяцев назад

So good to see the brown curtains. Excellent choice!

@inglishhomeandgarden8386 10 месяцев назад

Curtains and rods look great! With this rich colour scheme, the or er shelf looks slightly misplaced. Yes, paint it like the trim. (But as your home is moving towards classic elegance, a real antique corner cupboard would look even better.)

@deniseborchardt4491 Год назад

I picked the brown for the drapes. They look great, especially with the gold finials and curtain rings. For the bookcase, my suggestions are stripping it and staining it, painted taupe like the rug and upholstery on the chairs, or a mossy green. I feel there is a lot of the wall color already and the eye needs a contrast.

@libbyhinson4676 Год назад

Your drapes are gorgeous and the room looks more elevated ❤

@21stcenturybutterfly19 Год назад

Love the brown plaid drape! I think the boolcase would be brilliant in the wall color. Maybe in the higher gloss finish? The room is 👩‍🍳💋

@terrysmith5574 Год назад

Sarah I knew the brown plaid would look great we have great taste lol

@leannglasman7147 Год назад

I would paint the bookcase slate. It feeds my dramatic soul. 🌫🌫🌫❤

@freedomofreligion3248 Год назад

Would not have selected the brown windowpane fabric, yet, it looked marvelous in your lovely room. 😊

@ninajohnson6578 Год назад

Oooh! Slate paint on bookcase❤

@StelmaDesigns Год назад

I think the chocolate draperies are wonderful and so rich. I just so happen to be trying to source old fashioned roller shades to replace my old and ratty, old fashioned roller shades. It used to be you just ordered them at the local Blind Alley or what have you. They are no where to be seen without the ugly top valance, when I need just a plain roll. Ugh! It's all in the details isn't it? Your living room is really coming together and so beautiful! I think your book case would look nice painted to match your trim and to look like a built in. Julia

@karenwilliams5468 Год назад

Love your room Sarah and your coffee table you repurposed. The slate paint is beautiful and the bookcase would look lovely in that corner painted the same. Loved your video tutorial on window treatments. I have 3 traverse rods professionally hung years ago sitting room, family room, master bedroom. I have changed out curtains since original and still love the traverse rod with the draperies/curtains 😊. Now it seems hard to find curtains long enough since they go up to the ceiling. I also have the half moon window in the bedroom only. The ceilings are vaulted so its hard to take the traverse rod to the top's edge over the half moon window, we did use a linen fan inside the window that matched the solid curtain.🤷‍♀️ I'm on the hunt for curtains even now. So appreciate your video today, thank you. Im getting your alerts no problem, fyi. I did rehit the bell and selected "all" and it has been working ok so far when you mentioned it awhile back. Take it easy😊

@Tanja1936 Год назад

This room is just absolutely stunning!!

@whatlolawants2167 Год назад

Paint it blue. I love the way the room is turning out! It's so welcoming and inviting. I also think it's very comfortable while being finely designed. I must also mention green and blue are my favorite colors and I love your taste!

@maryannsosa3032 Год назад

Love the way curtains look with your couch. I'd do cream color for your bookcase. Love the cream next to curtains and makes it more functional if you decide to move to another room. I think you are going to choose the slate color to make it look built in. Can't wait to see what you do.

@vikkiweigel2504 Год назад

Looking fab! Paint the bookcase with the slate trim color...100%

@catherineaussie7121 Год назад

The curtains are beautiful. I would paint the bookcase the same colour as the walls. My notification bell works now but for years it said the channel was for children. The room has turned out gorgeous x

@jenniferkessener1111 Год назад

@lauracochran9570 Год назад

Hi Sarah!! This room is gorgeous!! I love all of the details and those chocolate curtains!! I think I would vote to paint the bookcase the same as the walls and trim.. so pretty!! Love!!

@jennifergeorge5088 Год назад

@phyllisshand6183 Год назад

I thought you would choose the darker drape and I really like the thought process behind your choice. I believe it makes such sense to balance the room - great choice. I would tape or bring the pleats together in some way to coax them into position for a short period of time. I wouldn’t keep the colour of the bookcase. I would use the colour you mentioned or a dark colour mimicking the dark colour of the furniture on the other side of your room. I enjoyed the longer video. I always learn something from you that I can put into practice. Thank you. Looking forward to your lighting video. I hate ‘boob lights’. I have replaced most but I want a ceiling light in my entryway. My dilemma - eight foot ceilings and six foot tall family members.

@melaniehancock5652 Год назад

@patriciacinea3097 Год назад

The bookshelf painted slate would only look built in if it was a corner piece. If its a keeper then perhaps paint the outside cream and inside slate or vis versa.

@cynthiafisher9907 Год назад

I’m glad you went with the brown windowpane check for the curtains, they add such a warm touch to an already cozy room. I think I was wrong about the gilded table, it looks great! As for the bookcase, I think it needs to be darker, so it fades a bit into the background. When I think of dark academia, I think of English rooms with many dark elements that takes a while to notice all the details when you enter, so I think it would be better fading into the background a bit more.

@kristiemcpherson4375 Год назад

Absolutely love all that you do thank you for sharing ❤

@pamrodman4444 Год назад

I so love this room. I love the curtain rod and finials and rings. I think I am going to paint my the gold as well !!! Thank you so much for making good design available for everyone!!!!!❤

@annaa.7554 Год назад

Maybe the camera doesn't pick up what it looks like in person, but the rod placement doesn't look high enough and the width of the panels look too narrow, even if you never intend on closing them. I'm surprised you didn't line them; a dark drapery will fade with the sun. The fabric is really nice, it has an old-world charm to it.

Sarah, I love the way your room is looking. I agree with a lot of the comments, paint the bookcase the same colour as the wall and don't put it at an angle. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the painted middle of the piano. I would prefer to see it all the one colour.

@2atthemill190 Год назад

Curtains are shirred onto a rod. Draperies are pinch pleated and open and close on a traverse rod. I was the head of a department store (which is now Macy's) drapery department.

Hi Sarah. You might want to consider lining the drapes. Is there a reason why you didn’t?

@SheHoldsDearly Год назад

I still may, but I like how causal is makes them look. I don’t want everything to feel formal. That’s why I decided not ti do punch pleats. They are just a design touch, we won’t really be using them for closing.

The brown gives me an autumn vibe, which I like, just not yet. The room is looking very nice though.

@flowergirl9794 Год назад

The brown drapes look lovely the rooms reminding me of a Ralph Lauren. I've been working a lot and haven't seen your videos in a while, I do remember you saying a while ago that you feel led to wear dresses and now I see that you're wearing pants which of course I have no problem with I was just curious if you wouldn't mind mentioning since you did mention that you felt led to wear dresses why you're not feeling that way anymore.

@SheHoldsDearly Год назад

I’m not sure exactly what you heard, I do LOVE dresses and femininity. But, I’m not against pants. I wouldn’t say I feel led to wear dresses, I would say I feel led to dress modestly and beautifully, though. Quality has also become very important to me in my 40’s. I don’t wear t-shirts or blue jeans anymore because of this.❤
