and the seafoam in the basement and the dirty white in the front entrance,...remind me again why i listen to him??!?!?! ;)
I'm just jumping into this now, but Jenjen, I was pretty sure that we established that DH doesn't get an opinion after the garage floor incident!!!
yup that's where i got them...good old Walmart!!!!...$30 each panel
Where did you get these drapes? I think I saw the same ones at Walmart. They look so pretty!

Really that is my answer to whinning, over exagerated owies (sp?), and anything they don't like. It may take a while, but eventually he'll get the idea :D
.Am I glad am not the one that is................ :eek:
What you can do with the tab tops, is fold them over behind the curtain, and sew into place, and then you push the rod through the new gap that is created. This way you get a kind of pleated finish like BB Bagoons does with their drapes. Need a diagram? :confused:
Wow, what a neat idea...wish I thought of that before I cut the tabs on my kitchen curtains :hairpull: , anyway, for next time :cool:
if you leave the red stripped ones up for a week and maybe they will grow on him. Sometimes it works - and if you have company that say how nice they look and how much they like them, he may actually start to come around. But you have to live with him - and the curtains. None of them look bad, it's just that the red/burgundy looks better. Good luck and let us know what the final decision is.
oh, thank you, thank you, bow, bow, bow :D
Now you won't be afraid to buy tab top anymore!
Itsjustme...that is a great idea. I'll have to remember that for future purchases!
she's a frickin' genius i tell ya.... :D

wow that is brilliant!!
Cat...you're brilliant.... :D ...
I like the newer ones! They are subtle and not screaming STRIPES at me!

ya if i do raise them up....they will be too short...top of the window to the floor is exactly 84''...and so are the panels.....back to square one i think....
I know this is kind of late to pipe in but I agree with Mrs Modern. Also, unless those curtains have a huge hem on them, I think they will be far too short after raising them so the window trim doesn't show. I'd look for some curtains in a red and gold stripe like Mrs Modern described but no tabtops.
Go for it girl :) I have to try that approach next time :D
You could tell him the same thing I tell DH and my kids

I think its time to get out the leather pants!!!!! I am sure you can have what ever colour you want then! I really do thing the red looked much better.
which a touch of lace?!????...LOL
Jen Jen,

HA HA!!!!!...can you imagine that....LOL
If he still gives you a hard time about the curtains, remind him that you painted that great checkerboard floor in the garage!! And that you can repaint it fushcia pink if he doesn't cooperate!! :D
I understand your problem and sympathize with you....go get those curtains back and make a deal with him that if he doesn't like them after a week or so, you'll change them....trust me....he will get used to the colour...
The reds do suit your area better ;)
i hate it when he thinks he has an opinion...turd!!!....i let him get the sectional he wanted...sheeesh....the least he could do is stay out of my curtains... :D
Go back and get the curtains with the red stripes!! They look SOOOOO much better!!!!!! They really make an impact in your room and go so well with your other colours and decor.
Marriage is about compromise. But in this case, forget compromise!! Get those curtains back!!!!
But if you REALLY don't want to rock the boat, try to find a more subdued fabric that has that same great red colour.
poop to mr. jenjen. He didn't notice the teal wall and now he has an opinion on the curtains? Its a hit or miss with him I guess EH?ha
exactly what i told him...somehow i don't think these ones are staying either...they're just not doing it for me...more than likely they will go back..,and i can't anything that i like...i did like the red ones btw...i think i will just get some fabric and get either my mom to make them for me or get my damn sewing machine fixed and make them myself
I like the other ones you showed in your orginal post. Tab top = cheap to me. Keep seacing because you don't have it yet
Hmmmmm.....horses for causes
Jen the red ones looked soooo much nicer. You have such beautiful wood in your home. The red ones made the wood trim look even beter than before :D
here look at the difference, see how much richer the wood looks
You may as well return the green ones and have nothing but your blinds up there. The green ones are too blah.
There is a chicken in our midst............chicken little, time for that chicken run eh ;)
