Buffalo Check Curtains for the Office: Welcome to 174th Metamorphosis Monday!

Greetings!  Hope your weekend was great!  I'm really excited about a change I made recently here in the office.  Did you guess what it was from the hint I left a few days ago?

Not long after I moved into this house twenty+ years ago, I purchased plantation shutters for all the windows.  In hindsight, that was one of the best purchases I've ever made for my home.  If you're interested in knowing more about plantation shutters and what features are important when shopping for shutters, check out this previous post:  Plantation Shutters.

I've really enjoyed having shutters here in the office, especially during the winter months when the leaves fall from the trees and privacy is more of an issue.   In the evening, I usually just close the lower louvers unless it's really cold outside.  Then I close them all.

It takes me a long time to finish/decorate a room.  I sometimes wonder if this blog should be called "The Accidental Decorator" because it seems like the rooms in my home evolve through lots of happy little accidents.

Affordable Buffalo Check Curtains

Lately, I've had curtains/draperies on the brain. Once the walls are all finished in my home office, I'm toying with the idea of adding some simple curtain panels on either side of the double window.

If you don't sew or if you just don't have the time to make your own draperies, one of the most reasonably priced stores with great "stuff" online is Country Curtains. Don't let the name fool ya, they carry lot of beautiful curtains and draperies that are definitely not "country" style. They also have a few "physical" stores in the northeast where you can shop in person. I actually had the opportunity to shop in one a few years ago in Richmond, Virginia. It was like stepping inside the catalog. Wish I had been blogging then, I would have taken pics to share.




I adore this Buffalo Check...




You can get it in red, too.




Bees on a sheer fabric...LOVE!




Another cute sheer...




So perfect for summer...




Gorgeous silk panels for only $99 a panel! Wow! They come in several colors...





Wonderful draperies in a striped moire fabric...love these! This almost makes me want to paint my dining room walls this color just so I can buy these drapes.




These feel so fresh and summery...




They even have draperies that will go with the bedding I chose...




for my master bedroom many, many years ago. How cool is that?!






See you this evening for Tablescape Thursday!
