We need long curtains for the patio end - Loki doesn't chew curtains but he may well chew the ties . He will certainly cover everything in mud anyway.

Are they natural pine cones that you found in the woods? I think that is a lovely idea. You could varnish them to preserve them.

You are barking!

LS heres the pics of my cream and green curtains
they are fully lined and i made them myself for a fraction of the shop cost



and these are my lounge ones which i also made


and this is the sofa,there is also a 3 seater,they are very comfty but they are too big to fit thru the doors so are in the conservatory


shame you are so far away

Wow Jackie - you are really talented. I think you must be an artist like you dad.

Thanks for showing you pictures.

thank you LS
and you are welcome

I would definately go for cream or pale colours it will keep the room looking fresh and open you could still have a pale colour with a hint of your accent colour.

i love decorating. take pics!

Got them from the florist before Christmas last year - people use them to tie onto wreaths etc but I thought they looked lovely on my curtains and so they stayed

Mind you I have earth tones in our house - dark chocolate leather chairs and dark table with cream curtains etc...you get the gest of it, the creams compliment the browns, hence the dark coloured pine cones accentuating the cream/beige curtains

Oh that sounds lovely. I was going to go for a woodland walk with Loki tomorrow and search for pine cones but maybe I'll wait for Christmas and my local garden centre

Seriously - it is a lovely and unique idea.
