Linen Curtains hideaway for your bed!

I think I need to book a trip to Sweden to Maria Skoglund’s gorgeous boutique called Biskopsgården. There I could get this lovely summer hideaway for my bed!  It is truly divine. Of course if I am busy this summer and can’t make to Sweden for a shopping trip I could try to make this linen curtain of Ada and Ina’s Fabrics – e.g. Warsa Natural Linen Fabric would be perfect choice for this lovely linen curtain. This curtains would require some medium weight fabric in order to have adequate weight so it will drape in the same way than on the enclosed photo. It would be also a good idea to wash the fabric in the washing machine before if you prefer slightly creased and relaxed look. This curtain would definitely help you to sleep on the light  summer nights and keep even mosquitoes away. In order to achieve the same look we need some white and natural linen cushions with hint of lace or some shiny embroidery – but I would keep the cushions quite minimalistic so we don’t ruin this look with any colors – so just keep it quite neutral. Many thanks for Maria for sharing this lovely photo with us on her blog.

Linen Curtains with Buttons

Summer Curtains can be fun and different too. Why not hang and decorate your curtains with some decorative buttons?

We found this truly creative idea from Country Living website. The photo is taken by Keith Scott Morton and article is written by Kennath Marie Watkins. They suggest that these buttons could be stitched a border of mother-of-pearl buttons (available at Nicholas Kniel) across the bottom of the rod pocket. This idea would work perfectly with our sheer linen fabric like Lotta Ivory and Lotta Natural. We also make made to measure rod pocket linen curtains for you. These linen curtains would look fabulous in any room!
