I haven’t sewn anything yet… I just draped the fabric over the curtain rod.
I don’t think it looks bad. True, there is no yellow in the fabric, but I think it looks fine next to the stairway color.

[...] I went with the brown bias tape that I already had on hand, and some Amy Butler fabric that I bought for curtains but never used. The dress took me three hours from start to finish, but that is because I am most definitely a [...]

With your talent, that fabric will find it’s place and wow us all!
xo
Yay yay yay! Looks great against the dark color and works great with the yellow. go for it. don’t listen to those nay sayers.
Nay.
Nay. I loved the dramatic punch of your old curtains and the breeziness they added to the room. I love the fabric, but it feels too heavy as a curtain.
No, no, a thousand times no. If you first response isn’t “Gotta hang it immediately because it’s so awesome I can’t stand waiting another minute” then it isn’t right.
I like your original curtains better.
However, I do think the fabric looks good with the hall color. Just not as dramatic as the first set.
I think it looks great. Green and yellow go together like peanut butter and jelly. Plus with the right accessories it will be perfect! That green pillow already ties in nicely.
I think the original curtains looked so good in that room, they might be hard to beat. So I’m in the “nay” camp.
I have to say – I loved the old fabric so much more in that space. The new fabric just doesn’t add anything exciting and feels a bit disjointed.
nay, there’s better Amy Butler Fabric to be put in that room.
Yay!!! its beautiful!
I actually really like the fabric. I wasn’t sure about it initially, but seeing it draped, it looks nice!
yay, add much more yellow and the room will be too matchy matchy
Um… how ’bout making another throw pillow for the chair with it? Or recovering a bulliten board? I’m leaning more towards the original curtains fitting the area better. :0)
Sorry, my answer is “meh.” I like the old curtains better.
love the fabric… but not there. i <3 the current curtains.
Nay, love the old curtains.
Do it. Follow your gut.
It looks great. sometimes its a stronger statement to be in the same color family than match exactly.
I love the fabric but not in the space, I would leave it there a few days and feel it out. By the way your dog has grown quite a bit, he’s very cute!!!
After over a hundred comments you might not really need another opinion…but I vote “nay”. The fabric is beautiful, but I don’t think it works next to the wall color and the wall texture. A pillow or a piece of it in a frame somewhere near by seems better to me.
Your house is so pretty! I love all the pink!
I say nay- I love the fabric- perhaps make a pillow or something with it? I just adore the curtains you had in there before- :)
I love the fabric and think it works quite well there even though it doesn’t match your yellow wall color…you know, they don’t have to match. It does compliment your dogs coloring quite nicely :)
eh. i think you can do better.
I’m in love with your dog. Its just like my dog.
Yay! Yay! Yay! Please use that fabric – the combination and surrounding colors blend very well! i love it!
I vote nay on the fabric. If I were shopping for some fabric for that space, I’d consider a colour to contrast with the mustardy yellow – something like teal or powder blue, perhaps with rectangles in the pattern to echo the doorway shape and the bookshelf gemetry, or maybe a simple pattern from nature like cow parsley shapes or willow.
Love your blog.
I too so prefer what you showed first in this spot.
YAY. Pull it together- if anyone can do it, you can. I actually think it pulls in with the rest of your house better than the previous look.
very nice, i think the dog makes the room.
I realize you posted this a while ago, and have probably made up your mind already, but I wanted to throw my hat in the “I love this look” ring! Why does everything have to be so matchy matchy?
PS Love your blog!
Where is this white chair and ottoman from!? I love it and totally want to buy it for my front room! I just popped over from a link on This Young House ~ I think you have super fun style!!!
