Target Linen Drapes

I am sure that the Textured Belgian Linen Drapes at Restoration Hardware are fantastic.  I just don't understand why anyone would pay that much for one curtain panel UNLESS you only have one half a window in an entire house and really want that quality.  I found a very similiar drape - ok well, it's linen at Target.  They are $24.99 each which is pricey for Target but not for linen drapes.  They have them in a 95" or 96" (can't remember and it's just an inch) size which is what I needed for our entire first floor.  I bought every panel they had in two stores.  I called first and they put them aside for me at customer service.  Yes, they are plain old taupe linen but look FABULOUS up on the rods.

Loft/Den/TV Room - what is this room?

This is the Dried Grass again looking completely green. I also learned through tons of searching that Sherwin Williams actually creates the paint for WalMart and it is their midrange quality which is about $30 a gallon in the SW stores. My biggest fear is that WalMart either discontinues the paint or the color so I bought extra. Almost 3 full gallons extra.

Too many choices and ONE chosen

After trying to decide on the Pottery Barn, Benjamin Moore collection and testing over 22 colors on 11 walls, I had it down to one Restoration Hardware shade. Then I changed my mind! Not RH Flint, Bay Laurel, Silver Sage and not even the plain old browns they have in the shade of flax ~ just nothing worked with what I had in mind. Downsizing from 3800 sf to 2200 sf was a big choice and the paint needed to be just right. I searched online and found someone's bathroom I loved in a WalMart (did you even know they had paint?) color called Dried Grass. I bought a small can and bunch of other shades to try my swatch project again. I loved the Dried Grass immediately. It was the tan/green I had been looking for forever. I also was THRILLED to see that the price of the paint was substantially less than even the big home stores in the areas (HDepot and Lowes). I spent about $250 on all the paint/supplies etc.. and I love the shade. It changes with the daylight, nighttime and it's better looking than I could imagine. I still wish I had a place for the Restoration Hardware Butter paint color b/c I think it's gorgeous. But, I committed to 4 colors in the house and 1 paint choice and I stuck to it. Editing sucks for the most part but I am happy with the outcome.

I will be at the flatirons Pottery Barn in Broomfield Colorado tomorrow at lunch buying these plates and then immediately following driving to Michaels to get shadow boxes to display them.  They are unbelievably gorgeous for reals.  I love the dipping bowls but really who uses a dipping bowl?

Pottery Barn SALE! Monogrammed! Gorgeous!!

They are on their way!  I ordered the pillow with the monogram you see on the one in the picture.  sSj - I did the green border and a taupe monogram.  I ordered two.  I was going to write zzz on both which I think is cute, maybe next time.
