Curtains & Hugs

I realized something last week. I am living in a rental home. At the beach. Totally out of my element. For over a year I have tried to combine this beach cottage type home with my country/cottage decor. The floors are all ceramic tile in the downstairs living space. I do not like it, but I can't change it. All the windows downstairs in this area are actually double doors that lead out to the wrap around porch. I have not added curtains in any of the rooms. I love curtains and I finally bought some for the living room area last week.

I realized curtains are like hugs. Curtains just make a room feel so cozy. Curtains warm up a room. I have never lived in a home without curtains. Now that I have added them in the living room it feels warmer when I am in that room. I will feel even better when I add a cozy room size rug to the living room. That will be next.

I balanced out the room by adding a set to the doors at the front entrance. -Don't mind the pink chairs. Slip covers are on my to do list. Soon!

I am thinking of adding a "mistreatment" (as my fave blogger Nester calls it) of plaid at the top of the curtains. Just to add a little more substance to them. I will share pics when I do so.
