Considering Curtains

<div style="text-align: center;">I need some curtains for my new rental. While I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for just yet, I thought I'd share with you the work of Samantha Pynn, who, in my opinion, is a master of drapery (among other things). I think her striped and banded looks would be extremely achievable via DIY and some off the rack curtains. Check it out:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbUbFVTLytFasmru53WWQaWMHEplMGRO8aA5tLljsNUNw_32o9uNiFQLw98hB8vQISMelTKDXqcfRpnTWYjdfc8wF-9wvxlTA4t_OxczNQrAD_i13f15G307-Nq2IS4OY79DMn9KFQCjLf/s1600/samantha+pynn+curtains+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbUbFVTLytFasmru53WWQaWMHEplMGRO8aA5tLljsNUNw_32o9uNiFQLw98hB8vQISMelTKDXqcfRpnTWYjdfc8wF-9wvxlTA4t_OxczNQrAD_i13f15G307-Nq2IS4OY79DMn9KFQCjLf/s1600/samantha+pynn+curtains+1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-y3JofOqUxCsNCMMKC3NQtmtwnnYgVgi5yke1BjN0sA5p0PtjJVnwlbeu9pjZlkHSCtYPMhbH1Wxi3dcI8-yoWiFq4XwxFKfd1ACSKoV-RsMGjm2qUwKx4gQBvAwZ7-_coTZwFNzJGbFH/s1600/samantha+pynn+curtains+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-y3JofOqUxCsNCMMKC3NQtmtwnnYgVgi5yke1BjN0sA5p0PtjJVnwlbeu9pjZlkHSCtYPMhbH1Wxi3dcI8-yoWiFq4XwxFKfd1ACSKoV-RsMGjm2qUwKx4gQBvAwZ7-_coTZwFNzJGbFH/s1600/samantha+pynn+curtains+2.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizjGIdw-wdKUF4y39pJQ32OWm6XhqmkRyadX_yHVdV3c_QjuuvZTa3MQ5_S8w3pOpeH2nnpajYGIiAwm9ihDskL23qQgqFAThEGJZGRcLy82qObo7ATqriIErto85B7tku_itLW8aOhv_n/s1600/sam+pynn+curtains+orange.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="430" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizjGIdw-wdKUF4y39pJQ32OWm6XhqmkRyadX_yHVdV3c_QjuuvZTa3MQ5_S8w3pOpeH2nnpajYGIiAwm9ihDskL23qQgqFAThEGJZGRcLy82qObo7ATqriIErto85B7tku_itLW8aOhv_n/s640/sam+pynn+curtains+orange.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">all images via <a href="http://www.hgtv.ca/puredesign/">HGTV</a> and <a href="http://www.samanthapynn.com/interiors/">Samantha Pynn</a></td></tr></tbody></table>Lovely no?

Colorful Curtains!

Do you have the Monday blues? I sure do. It's my last day of my lucky full month and one day off between semesters. Although I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things, I can't help but want to continue relaxing for just a few more days. The best cure to the blues, however, is a bright injection of good interior design. Today, I bring you this in colorful curtains.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg273vCzF0Z2eZvkXE2jJk9VNnHw5Xop4vIHMHeMn94VQLbNeZPP0qPEcMIXEMIyO_Fe06y4x__nMgTOWyaIG3v7Uj5MBH5WcgxCZYZn1Xo4Oza9W79n00oxLFaJgGmeNAZccdFLZFJNw/s1600/sam+pynn+curtains+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg273vCzF0Z2eZvkXE2jJk9VNnHw5Xop4vIHMHeMn94VQLbNeZPP0qPEcMIXEMIyO_Fe06y4x__nMgTOWyaIG3v7Uj5MBH5WcgxCZYZn1Xo4Oza9W79n00oxLFaJgGmeNAZccdFLZFJNw/s1600/sam+pynn+curtains+1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrT-kQc2QxiQqltIbjfH1PO16d2oOLHOHY1yrgyzMd9oKXM3cx7J0hS8BWLIMLbuCnF4xXQoPcEwY8YmKN_w78dI1uc2nnwSiCAXOr-Sct7N1JBbZptgZ6Otzt2Z2uCFEUF6uoaqDuCA/s1600/sam+pynn+curtains+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrT-kQc2QxiQqltIbjfH1PO16d2oOLHOHY1yrgyzMd9oKXM3cx7J0hS8BWLIMLbuCnF4xXQoPcEwY8YmKN_w78dI1uc2nnwSiCAXOr-Sct7N1JBbZptgZ6Otzt2Z2uCFEUF6uoaqDuCA/s1600/sam+pynn+curtains+2.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Images via <a href="http://www.hgtv.ca/puredesign/articledetail.aspx?sectionid=235&postid=57837" target="_blank">HGTV</a></td></tr></tbody></table>^ Designer Samantha Pynn livens up a black and white scheme with these blue floral curtains.
