Better homes and Gardens {bhg} decorating and home ideas
Hello Better homes and Gardens,{bhg} can you hear me? I love your decorating and homes ideas.
In fact,
I should either be your spokes gal or have my picture on your magazine, curtains, comforters, lampshades, candles and more!
If you are a long time reader you know,
I am a seasonal decorating kind of gal.
Do you remember last year, how smitten I was with these Better homes and gardens curtain purchase?
I adored these checked curtains for an entire year.
Still love them, but again time for a change.
First, how could I resist roosters and fleur de lis?
Hard, to keep on walking by.
So...with a little imagination over here at this window,
I came up with this.
this is my problem window.
Very tall windows and high ceilings, which make for too short and skimpy valances.
So...
First thing I had my husband do for me is hang a new rod.
All this time I have been using cafe rods..
it was time to upgrade.
I kept the cafe rods here, as I really do not have space in between for more of a decorative type.
I bought two packages of curtains.
One pack was tiers, and the other pack was a swag.
I put the tiers in the middle and put a small fold on top to shorten them..., and have them appear a little more full.
Then I put the swags on each side.
PERFECTO, and at 16.00 total, who can beat it?
I really like the light feeling, and of course the roosters are adorable too.
I still have to remove the old hardware...UGH, I hate patching walls.
ha, I just noticed I have one end the wrong way...thanks pictures, you always point out my mistakes,
better go down and fix that.
I will take better photos on another day. I have cropped some pics, because I have other things I do not want you to see yet. I am sneaky like that.
Have a great day!
Oh, and the corner over there with the roo lamp, does not look the same either.
HUH? How can you ladies and gents even keep up with me?
I can't keep up with myself!~ For the record, I drink a LOT of coffee.

I had those same checked curtains. Love your new ones!
The red and white curtains are crisp and clean. the black curtain rods show them off. I really like the Country Living line of stuff at KMart too.
Oh you would MOST certainly make a Great BHG Spokesperson... : ) Love the Changing things up...I find that I do that often... : )
Oh Debbie, your new curtains are fabulous. I love the roos too and they look so pretty in your dining and kitchen area. I can't wait to see the rest of your changes. Also, I wanted to say I absolutely love your new header pictures. The one of all of you on the porch is fantastic. Hugs, marty
Delicate roosters look perfect and for sure 16.00 was way reasonable.
I too love BHG..

The new curtains are beautiful Debbie. I love the new look!!
I think they made those custom order just for you!!!
You are such a teaser/brat! I can't wait to see what ELSE you are up to...but, so far, I am LOVING those red curtains. You do such a great job pulling things together, Deb. I gotta tell you - I still LOVE that clock! xo Diana
Love the new curtains. I think you would be the perfect BHG spokesperson. Love your energy level!
I loved those checked curtains, but these new ones just scream your name! Lovin' the roos.
Hey, you never know...BHG just might be listening!
Love the new curtains and the rods! Of course, I liked the old ones too. I'm so much like you in that I like seasonal changes. I thought I had my bedroom done for fall ~ nope, it's under construction again! :-) This is the most difficult bedroom ever for me ~
Keep up with you? Surely, you jest! I've asked, and I think others have, if you ever sleep...what kinda vitamins do you take, etc. :-)

P.S. I really like the pics in your header right now. The roo lamp looks great!
First of all I checked out the lampshades at Walmart today and loved that one that you got. I think it's too tall for the lamp I want it for (maybe have to get out the saw?). But love those curtains. You really could be a Walmart spokesperson!
I thought I knew every single inch of your fabulous kitchen. More surprises what could that be. Love how the curtain let in the light, nice job. Just saw on FB that the IB turned out. Glad to have been of service with any recipe that gives us time to blog.
Cute curtains! They look custom made!! Yes, I love BHG too! Thanks for sharing!
Rooster curtains are adorable!! Can't wait to see the new corners look:)
Pretty valances, Debbie. I like what you did....Christine

Love the new window treatments! Roosters and fleur de lis definitely could not remain on the shelf. They look fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
Great solution, Debbie! Your rooster valances are perfect for your home!
I adore your new rooster curtains!
I do love all the new changes going on.
Guess where I went today?
There were two left and I bought both. lol
Thanks for the great tip.
xo,
Dee
These are totally cute!! I love them and I hear you on the coffee!!
XO,
Jane
And I thought THIS was the surprise you had in store from yesterday. Guess I'll keep checking back. I really like your curtains. That was a clever idea to break up the set like that. They look good like that.
I'm a decorate each season kind of girl too, can't wait for the reno to finally finish so I can do the fun primping.
I love those curtains! Hmmmm... I think I need some of that coffee you are drinking:)
They look great! I need some of your coffee! I know what you mean about pictures...sometimes I take them to see what I need to fix! You're a great BHB
Cute pattern on your new curtains.
Debbie, I saw you over at Grammy Goodwill and thought I'd visit ... your site is WOW - pretty amazing. I love your energy and your home is lovely!! Great project!
Always beautiful views of your lovely home! So fun to see what you are up to!!
Blessings & Aloha!
Thank you dear friend for stopping by and for your sweet comment :o) I'm happy I was able to swing by to say hello!!!
Now I know your secret-coffee!
I don't drink it, so that must be my problem.
I like the new roo curtains and the crate display on the wall too.
I enjoy seeing the changes you make!
very pretty Debbie! I'm a big BHG fan too. I love their monthly color suggestions for the home.
Lovin' your new chickie curtains, Debs! I love changing up curtains every once in a while.
xoxo
Cute curtain and you came up with a nice solution to your problem!
Those new curtains look so fresh in your kitchen. Now I'm wondering what else you've been up to???
They look great Debbie! I am not a fan of patching wall either. I love seeing all the Fall colors out of your windows too. I'm sort of a backwards peeping Tom!
I agree the black curtain rod does show them off to perfection! I love them Deb!
Debbie, The roo curtains are adorable. I think you would make a great spokesperson for BHG.
xo,
Sherry
I love BHG stuff too. Haven't seen those rooster curtains yet, but they really look great in your kitchen. Can't wait to see the other changes you've made in there!
Debbie, I gave you the versatile blogger award on my blog today. Stop by when you get a chance to read the details.
Hi Debbie Dear! Oh, I love your Rooster valances and they look marvelous on your windows! I just love your kitchen. Hope you had a great Halloween!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
That is really clever of you! Love the new rods. They really give it a custom type feel! If those curtains didn't jump off the rack and say, "I BELONG TO YOU!" I don't know what would!!
These new curtains are so you! Really pretty! And you must be drinking some different coffee than I am!
Love those curtains. I might have to think about those for my breakfast nook!
Very beautiful, fresh looking and so light that they are perfectly synchronizes with your my fav dinning room...

BH&G...my old stamping grounds. I was an editor and designer there for 17 years. I know the creative director for all their product lines...glad you're enjoying their collection!
Love the new curtains - particularly the way you chose to hang them! You have such a fresh take on things, Debbie!
Love the new curtains....I need something my windows are bare and boring! Where do you find your curtains?
These look so perfect! And I've started drinking a little more coffee...will I ever be able to keep up with you? NO WAY! heehee! ♥
i love the look they are wonderful so fresh and bright and cheery .I love the way you hung them its so weird how you can look at something and see something so different,like me i wonder how you got that way haha love Mom
Another Queen of change! Before Mason was born, I changed things up all the time - loved doing it. Now, everything is put away or literally hot glued in place!!
He will grow out of his fondness for touching and moving everything in sight, and I will be able to play again!
Love the curtains.

Hi Debbie,
I love your very cheerful color scheme! Your curtains are lovely, they have the look of a stamped fabric, which is very nice, in my opinion.
I hope BHG is paying attention here, you would be the perfect spokes person for them!
Have a lovely day
Hugs Cindy
It's so funny that you ask, "How can we keep up with you?" because I was just commenting to my daughter the other day that one of my favorite bloggers is so creative that I can't keep up with what she's doing on a daily basis.
And yep. I was talking about you.
You manage to pack more creativity and style in a day than I can pack into a two week period. Just awesome.
And the curtains are definitely awesome too.
Love the roo curtains. Great job. Hugs, Ginger
I love 'em, Debbiedoo...they are adorable.
O, did you hear a squeal with a Texas drawl yesterday? about 12:30 ...??
I went to Walmart, saying to myself, "There's no way in h** I am going to find those cute lamp shades like Debbie did" and, I got one for me and 2 for my daughter....I was so doing the happy dance...Thank ya kindly for pointing the way..:))
Love your new curtains did you find them at Walmart??? If you get rid of the old ones throw me an email I will buy them from you would love to have them in the kitchen and dinning area have the same ones in the living room though I cut the tassels off but the space is like all open and would love to have all matching!!
Love, love RED & ROOSTERS, so I'm lovin' this!!! Looks amazing ;)
I love the new curtains Debbie- they are just darling and am loving the lightness of them in your room! Thanks for linking up! :)
