My bedroom is currently a mess, so this is me promising myself to clean it today. I love the way my room feels when the bed is made and everything is put away! Now if I could just keep it that way....

Also, I just noticed how high they hung the curtains in the above photo. My husband and I disagree on curtain placement - I say the higher the better, but he would love it if we drilled right into the window trim. I let him have his way in our bedroom and the living room, placing the rods just above the window, but in Emma's room the curtains are tall, wide, and wonderful.  What do you think? Where do you hang your curtain rods?

  1. I love this inspiration photo and I think the curtain placement is perfect! I actually have a post in the queue on that topic right now. I think the higher the better.

  2. I always think curtains should just barely sweep the floor, and if possible, touch the ceiling. It makes the room feel taller, rather than cutting the visual verticals with a horizontal.

  3. I'm with you...tall and wide. Taller curtains make the ceiling feel higher, so I hang them to the ceiling unless doing so would look silly, like on 12 foot ceilings where there are four feet of space between the top of the window and the ceiling. And I usually hang mine where the rod extends 10 inches on either side of the window so that when the draperies are open, you get the full effect of the window and sunlight.

    I'd have to agree with you, I love when curtains are hung higher!

  5. High and wide it is! I'm telling my husband that we need to re-locate the rods in the living room and our bedroom :)

  6. In my house there's no room for debate -- the windows are all very close to the ceiling, barely allowing room for curtain hardware.
