Hello to all...
I'm still fluffing and fall/winter nesting in our living room
and trying very hard to bring a cohesive look to our
cozy and comfortable space.
Our living room is very large..
and was, before we moved into the summer house,
almost 2 rooms without a wall between.
My camera just won't scan that much space ...
there was a large pool table in this area where our fireplace and chairs & etc.
are right now.
We also have our black and white tile table (that Mr. Sweet built) in this end of the room.
The other end of this large room is the media area with our twin leather sofas,
large screen tv
book shelves and Mr. Sweet's leather recliner.
I needed to bring some of that sweet black and white
to the other end of this large room.
Sooo, I gathered up some black and whites from
the "decorating closet"
and added them to the media bookcases.
I put some black and white toile pillows on the sofas...
but THIS is what made a HUGE statement in the black and white department.
I am lovin' this cute and dynamic topper for our double windows on our East wall.
I've always loved BUFFALO CHECK to the moon and back and when
my sweet girl suggested a black and white curtain or cornice of some kind for that large window,
I dreamed of buffalo checks all night long.
The very next morning, I was at the fabric store..
found the check I wanted...
bought a tension rod to fit the window...
bought a bag of black curtain rings...
(this is SUCH a NO SEW project)
(this is SUCH a NO SEW project)
...pressed the fabric...
attached the rings...
put it all on the rod
and Mr. Sweet and I got that topper installed in less than 2 minutes.
NO SEW...
No holes in the wall...or on that pretty molding around the window.
I just love my new topper....and I don't even like curtains.
Hugs, bj

BJ, everything looks so cozy and inviting! You really seem to be enjoying your home immensely. It is always such a treat to see what you have been up to!
ReplyDeleteIt's just the right touch! I'm sure that your daughter takes after her parents with her decorating talents. Does Mr. Sweet come up with these projects on his own or are you providing the inspiration?
ReplyDeleteYes, your daughter was so right! The black and white buffalo check is perfect! I love seeing your house.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,Shela :)
Very nice topper! Love that black and white table, too.

Great job on the topper! Everything looks cozy and a nice place to relax. I like easy projects like that.
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying he weekend.
That looks nice, bj. Very good and it brings more black and white to the overall space. Great idea. I am not fond of curtains either but use them where I have to. Hope you have a great Sunday afternoon & evening- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThose toppers bring it all together! That is a large space to try and coordinate- it looks great. No - sew is easy peasy with the right fabric. Have a great rest of the weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou are fabulous, BJ :) And your living room looks so warm and cozy. Enjoy your week! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThat turned out fantastic! I love the b/w in these rooms!
ReplyDeleteYou always have such style my friend! I love those cowboy books....wish I was snuggled up on the sofa reading one tonight! Hugs, Diane

ReplyDeleteYou have the most beautiful home. Yes, it does look so cozy.. Love that curtain..what a great idea. NO SEW! I love it!! You are so creative.

Love your room and black and white is a favorite of mine too! Your room is so inviting and comfortable. I love EASY!
ReplyDeleteLooking PERFECT . . . and very comfortable too!
ReplyDeleteCurtains are a much different job to tackle than they used to be, as the mounting is so easy. My daughter just made a "roman shade" for a room they are finishing, and it looks fabulous. Very little effort.
ReplyDeleteThe buffalo checks are a winner in my book! I love black and white period! Your room does look so very cozy and comfortable. I like your style, Ms. bj :)
ReplyDeleteyour black and white checked curtains are wonderful. can't believe you didn't have to sew them. Love how they set off the other end of the room with the black and white table.
ReplyDeleteIt looks terrific!
ReplyDeleteLOVE all the black and white. This room looks so cozy and warm, absolutely beautiful, just like everything you do :>)
ReplyDeleteI adore black & white! Love the buffalo check and the table...great creations. The fireplace is soooo pretty! Everything looks just perfect as well as warm and inviting.
ReplyDeleteDid you use an iron on type adhesive to hem the topper? I'm not one for curtains either but sometimes we just need or want them! :)
