Perfection

[susandennis]

The first of the closet drapes arrived and I could not be more delighted.

Old.



New.



For some reason I was expecting a more cotton-y heavier fabric. This is more nylon-y and light and much better. It will not catch dust like my other and is light enough to wave a little when I turn on the ceiling fan, which I love.

Now... here's the question... EDIT - decision made... maybe, probably, yes... answer at bottom of entry.

The current curtains are hung with these little metal clasp thingies. The new ones came with minimal shower curtain hooks. Both work and I can't decide which I like better.

Hook clasps? Or shower hooks? (If selected, I will make sure they are all hung the same way. I was experimenting with pointy end down or up.)



My game plan is to have two panels on this closet and three on double closet across the room. I am quite jazzed about this now.

NEW NEWS. sweetmeow made a great suggestion and so, for now, I've got these on order.



They are returnable, so we may yet have another vote :)

I think the top hooks look a little more clean - those curtains are badass! I just love all of the colors in your condo.

[susandennis]

Ok, metal hooks - 1 shower hooks - 0

Thanks. I love the colors, too. If, for some reason, I had to repaint the entire place today, I would use all the same colors

Oh those are awesome, so cheerful! Metal hooks.

[susandennis]

Yeah, metal is taking the lead. Thanks!

I think I like the hook clasps better as they hold the curtains closer to the top. They also seem neater. However, there might be some very interesting shower curtain hooks you could purchase that might be really cool - maybe some with color or lucite ones that might be cool.

Which ones flow better when moving on the rod? That also could make a difference in your choice?

Oh -- I forgot to mention how much I love love LOVE the color!!!!! It IS perfect!

[susandennis]

like these?



or these?



I didn't even think fancy but now that you've planted the seed, I don' think those white ones stand a chance :)

Good q about the sliding. They both work fine.

[sweetmeow]

Yes!! Like those! 😁

They are so lush!

I love the curtains! So cheerful. I'm going to be the first to vote for the shower hooks. They are more free spirited, in keeping with the curtains themselves. :)

[susandennis]

That's a great hook point... sweetmeow sent me on a fun hook search and I turned up these which I'm kind of enamored with now. Especially the second ones.

[carriea31.livejournal.com]

Hard to choose....they are both very fun! I scrolled through but maybe am missing....which did you end up choosing?

[christalin80.livejournal.com]

Those colorful hooks are absolutely perfect for these!

[susandennis]

Don't they? I was so excited when I found them.

[christalin80.livejournal.com]

That is going to look so cool.

[seattlejo.livejournal.com]

Those look great!

Not only do I love the new curtains, I loved reading the comments!

I see your supervisors were on the job.

[msconduct.livejournal.com]

Those curtains are so gorgeous! And I can't believe how well they go with your existing paint! It's like they're made for it.

[legalmoose]

Looks fantastic. :)

I love love love the new curtains! They match your paint. My vote goes for the hooks with the colored balls. Would look really nice. 🙂

[letmesaythis.livejournal.com]

Late to the party but chiming in anyway! Love the curtains and love the metal hooks with the colorful balls!

[mrdreamjeans.livejournal.com]

The vibrant color palette of the shower curtain is very much you! I bet the nylon will be cat-scratch resistant, too ... Love it!

[maju01.livejournal.com]

The new curtains are fabulous! Can't wait to see them installed with the fancy new hooks.

[carriea31.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh! I just found the answer to my question! I really like the round ones! Perfect!

They look great! So colorful and cheerful and they really fit in with what I've seen of your decorating style.
