Curtains and Blinds

We have been on the hunt for curtains and blinds - as at a minimum we need to have the bedroom and ensuite in place before we move in.

Finally we have found a shop (in the next town) that will be able to do exactly what we want. And they were lovely people too! It is a small family business, but with a great showroom and a million fabrics to select from.

My main problem has been trying to find the right 'silver' fabric for the bedroom curtains. I hadn't found anything that matched what was in my head, until yesterday... and of course it is a 100% silk and costs more than we thought we would need to pay. It is perfect and we have decided to go for it. The colour is a very light silver and will complement the charcoal carpet nicely and have a little shimmer.

We are on leave the week after next, so they shall come and measure all the windows in the house one day that week. We also decided on a roller blind for ensuite and bathroom.

I still think we will wait until we are in to decide on the family and living rooms. Most likely romans out the back and drapes in the lounge. I just need the flooring and furniture in place to be able to decide on colours. We will also organise blinds for the other bedrooms at that time.

So very happy to finally have that part of the equation under control.

Oh, and after being at the shop we decided to go to a local winery for lunch and were served by the mother of the woman who runs the curtain shop. It is a small world up there and everyone knows (or is related to...) everyone. And I mean that in a nice way!
