Fretting.
Over thinking big decisions, do you do that?
Window treatments are a big decision, to me anyway; like choosing what type of curtains I should use in the keeping room.
Buffalo checks often came to mind, but with red wing back chairs and a colorful hooked rug already in the room, I didn't think more pattern or color were needed. So I made a list to help me pull in the reins.
There were a number of things to consider:
1) farmhouse style
2) light weight fabric
3) not too much color, if any
4) not too much pattern, if any
5) minimal hardware
6) open and close easily
7) diffuse bright sunlight
8) maintain the views
Item 8 was the biggest factor for me and the one I fretted over the most.
Then finally, it came to me; the perfect fabric, style, and they wouldn't cost me a dime!
