Subdued Blue

BEFORE

AFTER

The fruits of three and a half weeks of labor are finally showing through with starkly contrasting before and after pictures.  I'll post more tomorrow.  This is just a preview.

The future occupant of the home visited the place for the first time since it's been under renovation and she was pleasantly surprised by the transformation.  She loved most of all these curtains.   They were lovingly sewn by the cook in our house, Nanette whose son has been one of the workers of this project. 

I didn't like the shade of ready made sky blue which in the daytime is a bit on the glaring side. So I had them add a tinge of black to douse the intensity . . . . 

. . . . and this is the result - a more subdued blue on the ground floor.
