I know some of you were wondering when the heck I would actually get some curtains for my house. Well the day has arrived. I LOVE these gray linen curtains!! To show you what the room looked like without the curtains, just take a look.
I think they added some softness to the room. Dining rooms don’t typically have a lot of fabric in them, so curtains really help soften the room, and bring in warmth and some color. These curtains are gray linen from my partner BALLARD DESIGNS. They are even more beautiful in person.
Even though these curtains are gray, they still add a lot to the room. Did you notice the new rug? More about that later. If I had made these curtains, I actually wouldn’t have saved any money. The linen fabric and the fabric for the liner would have cost about what the pre-made curtain cost. They are fully lined and weighted. It’s a no-brainer in my book. If I can get a good deal on curtains, I’m going to buy them instead of making them.
Now I’m got more time to head over to the thrift store. I wonder what they have today…
Curtains provided by Ballard Designs!!
I love Ballard Designs ! Sometimes it does make sense to purchase. The curtains look great in your dining room.
I too love Ballard Designs! I look over and over their catalog !
The gray curtains are beautiful and go great in your room. I love the new rug too!
Your new curtains look wonderful. Although I liked your look without curtains too! I love everything in your house. You have such fab taste.
Stunning! Window treatments in a room add such softness. These beautiful grey ones add softness and a quiet elegance as well.

The curtains are nice, I really like the color but, the rods don’t do the curtains or the room justice. I think a white or gray washed wooden about 1 1/2″ or 2″ in diameter would really bring the windows and curtains into the same place as the rest of your room. Think about it of course that’s just my opinion.
Beautiful finishing touch to a great room. Just what you needed!
These are lovely Anita. Ballard Design’s is one of my favorites. Their style speaks to me.
Ballard Designs is my favorite store. I could easily furnish my whole house with their furniture and accessories. Beautiful curtains.
The curtains are beautiful! Ballard really has some gorgeous things!

I love the curtains! They look great! But then, everything in your home looks great!
I love the softness that linen curtains bring to a room- a beautiful touch!
I agree on the purchasing vs. buying. I haven’t made any curtains in years. Although I do miss sewing.
Your curtains look fabulous…love the gray.
Very pretty Anita and I love your new rug too!! I just placed an order with Ballard… a new seagrass lampshade 🙂
Your dining room is like something out of a Pottery Barn Catalog !! It’s so charming & the curtains WOW-Inspiration galore!!

They are gorgeous! I love how the addition of curtains can complete a room. And linen curtains are my favorite too!
When you can find something you like that is ready made, it is often more economical to buy. The curtains look great, but I didn’t mind the windows without them either.
Though I’m actually getting ready to sew draperies for my new cottage, I so get buying them if they look as great as these. And not everyone understands while weighting curtains is so important but they just give you the perfect “hang”, don’t they?
Beautiful place to dine. What grâce and beauty you havé added to your dinning room. Love the grey, in fact my home has a mix of so much the same colours and patina you use, that whites, natural, grey, you have an amazing home.
