Your panels look great. I love the look of smocked panels. Where did you order them from. I think originally the only place I had ever seen them was Pottery Barn, but I remember seeing some in another catalog like Country Curtains or one similar.

Gorgeous! I've never seen smocked drapes before. So pretty. They go very well with your room, which is magazine worthy btw.

I can see why some said the blinds weren't perfect with the drapes, but they're not bad by any means. If you had unlimited funds and the desire, I could see doing romans in the same fabric as the wallpaper, but IMHO the current blinds don't detract from the overall gorgeousity of the room. Well done!

Thx! I really did lots of searches trying to find the right smocked curtains. I actually had purchased the ones that Country Curtains has but ended up returning them...they are pretty but I did not care for the voile fabric...they were just way too sheer for my liking. Pottery Barn does sell smocked curtains as well in white or a khaki color. I did not want pure white and when I called them to request a swatch of the khaki color, they did not have swatches available. I do think the khaki color would not have worked anyways. Pom Pom at Home also makes gorgeous smocked panels but they are over $200.00 per panel in fine linen (very high end). (I needed 6 panels!) The Pom Pom at Home colors are off-white and flax - the flax would not have worked, and the off-white was not creamy enough in color for me and with the huge price tag just NO WAY! I finally found these smocked curtains made by Chandler Bedding on a website called Bella Home Fashions. They did not have swatches either but I took my chances and ordered one panel with the intention of just returning it if I didn't like the color. I fell in love with the curtain when I received it and then ordered the remaining 5 panels that I needed. They were approx. $100.00 per panel. I really like how they are made...the smocking gradually blends seamlessly into the rest of the curtain (whereas the country curtains panels had a large seam between the smocking and the lower portion of the curtain). There is generous amounts of fabric in these panels...very billowy and full. The color was perfect as well!

The room is coming along nicely - Love those drapes.

Wow!!! What talent you have. I love your room. Its so elegant and serene.

Wow, the curtains are just perfect for your room! Everything looks so great together!

Very pretty. I don't dislike the blinds with them at all.

Yummy!!! You must just love walking in and looking at them, I would.

I've always wondered how those would look hung in a non display type setting and worried it would be hard to get it right, you did them justice! They look great!

Very nice. The room looks lovely.

if it were me, I would stitch the panels together at the top , just where the smocking is. That would close up the panels so they would cover the blinds completely when they were drawn up. I'd then get some tie backs or holdbacks to give the panels a graceful shape. I think it would go perfectly with you bed and the style of the room....

But either way, it's lovely.

What a lovely room mutmegxo. These panels hung as they are bring such a wonderfully feminine touch to the room. And I think even a room shared with a man should be feminine. So romantic. I wouldn't change a thing other than your new bedding. Do you know what you want?

Opps. So sorry I hit the "m" instead of the "n" in your name.

It is all falling together quite lovely! Excellent decisions all around!

Absolutely lovely room! I adore your new curtains! They're so breezy and charming!

Very lovely! You must feel so relaxed in there!!!! Just beautiful!

That is so pretty and soothing. I could sleep very nicely in there. I love the blue and the smocked curtains are perfect. Even the rods complement them.

The smocked curtains really fit the style of the room.

*sigh* Your room is just so very pretty now. I'll bet you just walk in there now and smile!

I just love your room! And that wallpaper looks so good in there. Great job.

This is my all time favorite bedroom! Of course I also have a Palladian Blue room, so I am biased!

Wow!!!! Overwhelmed by the response here! Thank you all for your sweet words!! I was so confused when I set out to do this room several months ago. Lots of trial and error finally paid off. As much as I adore the curtains I have to say my favorite part if the room is the paint color!!!!!! It is just the perfect bedroom color, serene, calming, and even if the room was totally empty as ling as the walls are painted palladian blue I am happy!!

It all looks really nice but the wallpaper is AWESOME! Love it!

I love smocking and I love how the curtains soften the room. Nice job!

The color of the curtains looks lovely with the rods and finials and the wallpaper!

They truly complete the aesthetics of the room. I feel like Jane Eyre :) So pretty... !
