New Draperies?



So since the fabric of my dreams is a little out of reach, I have been trying to find something else a little more affordable in the colors I wanted.  I found these at Pier1 the other day and thought I would try them out.  These seem to help lighten the space and even bring in some of the blues I wanted to add to the color scheme.

They even had pillows that I fell in love with.  The pillows have different tones of green that seem to go well with the olivey green of the couches.  The drapes on the other hand do not.  They feature a brighter green that we were iffy about, however, in person {and during daylight} they seem to coordinate well with them.

My only concern is whether I am all of a sudden getting too matchy~matchy with the pillows and drapes.  What do you think?

Here is a semi-before shot.  I'm trying to figure my way around on my new Mac ~ I'm converting over from a PC and I'm having a little technical difficulty.   One of these days I will have to dig out a real before shot before we ever knocked the wall out!  Linking up to Sugar and Spice's Drab to Fab party
