I am ready to tackle my first project in my living room…adding drapery!
We have been experiencing record temperature highs here in Boise and my AC unit is working overtime to keep things cool in here.
Although I LOVE the big windows and all the light they provide, adding some drapery will help keep the room a little cooler and hopefully save me a few dollars on my AC bill.
Things to consider…
The blue rug has to go. It is just way too small for the space and looks silly.
Also, I want to keep the drapery simple since I am hoping to do something fun (maybe wallpaper?) on the television wall.
I have narrowed it down to 2 options, I already think I know the direction I want to head, but it is fun to hear your opinon.
So, let’s vote!
1. White drapery with black trim (rod color still undecided).
{My photoshop skills are lacking, so you will need to use your imagination a little…}
2. Plain white drapery (thinking a gold rod).
Ok, let’s hear it!
What is your vote?
I like the black trim… it adds a pop!
Black trim please! And how about a brass rod?
Black trim all the way!
Oh my gosh… black trim no question! I did a really cheap DIY on one of my windows — white IKEA curtains and black pom pom fringe glued on with fabric glue. Looks great and was easy and affordable.

I like the black trim! I so think that you should get ikea curtains!
Black trim with white rod!
I prefer the plain white drapery with gold/brass rod. Perhaps you could add some fun trim to the curtains, or pompom trim in white to add some texture!
Hard choice! Black is a fun pop, but the white is so fresh and clean looking. Either way I’d do a brass rod.
Black trim! I just DIY some this weekend actually…so easy and they look amazing!
I like the white with gold rods especially if you’re doing a fun wallpaper. Fun, can’t wait to see what you go with!
I like the white with gold rods, but I am obsessed with all things gold right now.
White with gold rods! All the way.
I love my white ikea curtains and am getting ready to add them all around the room! They leave the rest of the room to change with your mood. I also like the antique brass rods but worry about them being “trendy”.
Black trim with gold rods 🙂
I vote for the white with gold/brass. I like that the black trim does not distract/break up the eye when you are looking at the large window. Both would look great though!
I like the white with gold rods.
Definitely black trim!
Black trim for sure!

I’m all about the white with gold. a.) It’s gorgeous! b.) It doesn’t break up the room and makes the whole space look bigger.
I love the black trim. It definitely pops. It would look good with a black or gold rod. Can’t wait to see what you choose!
The white plain for me!
I like the black trim a lot but I think it takes your eyes up and off everything else in the room
And I LOVE gold anything so I will have to say (in this case) the plain white with gold rods

That’s funny!! those have been the two I was trying to decide between before you contacted me about still helping:) I love them both! You can’t go wrong! Why not the black trim WITH the brass rod from west elm?:) do them both! (thats probably against the rules that I don’t know about, haha.)
Absolutely, black trim! 🙂
How do I find out about hiring you? I have been following you for about a year and I love everything! Let me know!!
black trim is my vote
but I think the white lets you focus on other things and the black kind of draws all the attention
Black trim! Definitely!
I definitely love the black trim. How about the brass rod with the black trimmed curtains? That would look amazing. Can’t wait to see what you decide.
The Black Trim is striking – but I wouldn’t mount them so high up – maybe midway between top of window and ceiling!!??
Black trim for sure! 100% I just ordered those from PB Teen and waiting for them to arrive.. it taking forever and I’m impatient!
I love the black trim too! So pretty!
I have been planning to add white curtains with black trim to my own living room (if I can convince my hubby to let me hang that will hide some of our lovely 1920s-style trim). The plain white curtains definitely give a more serene look, but since you’re wanting to add bold wallpaper, I’m guessing you’re going with the black trim!
Oh I like white and gold- pretty mix!!
The plain white definitely with the gold – not sure that black stripe is good – let us know!! 😉
black and white PLUS gold rods…best of all worlds 🙂
White and gold!
No question for me, white!

I like the black trim with the gold rods…but not so much with that many panels as the black trim seems to be jail like. But maybe that’s just because its computerized. Can’t wait to see the result!
