Bay Windows

One of the favorite things about my 100+ year old house is the bay windows. I LOVE light. They are big, gorgeous, and brighten up my whole living room. I left them un-curtained because they look out over our pool (which is nice to have in full view) and our totally private backyard. I could dance around in our living room like an idiot and no one could see me. And I do.

Anyways, our landlords were trying to sell the house, and I get a phone call saying they are coming to put curtains up in my beautiful windows. Oh yes. Oh no.
This is what happened.

Now, it wouldn't be so bad if all of our furniture wasn't black (David's firm decision about the couches, he is now receding to get lighter ones next time). BUT the brown, furry pillow (which says "Kennel Mat" on the tag) I had a hard time keeping out on display even for the open houses and house showings, which is what they wanted them there for. I didn't know 'putting up curtains' would also mean a display of not-so-my-taste pillows.

Anyways, the house sold (to people that looked at it BEFORE the curtains and pillows I'll have you know), so I took down the curtains finally. The new owners can put them back up if they want when they move in.

I'm went through some boxes downstairs of our stuff and found some curtains I like better.

I still need more too it, it's looking a little bare. But they're white and breezy. This is what I'd do if I owned the house:
