Pink Photo

OK, here is a bad photo, taken late at night, of the pink tissue paper window treatment.



Hmmmmm . . . . it actually looks like it might work. Of course it's just the bottom pane. It'll be more impressive when I finish. I like the texture, and the pink color looks good with the peacock blue. I can see the night through it pretty easily, so daylight will probably stream through without a care. It doesn't look all that great in the photo, but I think I can live with this. The green curtains, mind you, will have to go.

The price is dead on, too. $10 so far. Less than a new pair of curtains, and without the added expense of a 6' curtain rod.

The only wrinkle is that the paper is only 36" wide, and each window pane is about 45" wide. I'm worried what the seams will look like. Going to try a sheet and see. If it's horrible I'll cut the tissue into squares, and randomly paste down overlapping squares.

Wish I could figure out my sudden love affair with pink. I don't want a room full of pink, but I seem to be using it as an accent color everywhere. Pink sheets and a (hopefully) pink-ish rug in the bedroom. Pink window treatments and one planned pink wall in the living room. A pink sundress. Pink even plays an important role in a color scheme for a new website for a campus committee.
