33. You should try some rose wallpaper. I swear, it'll change everything.
Big ones, small ones, medium ones, giant ones. Different in every single room!

I thought you'd ordered the back-tab grasscloth type drapes??? They were good looking. Nice texture.

As much as I dislike draperies in my home, I think the back-tabs are clean & simple looking.

I looked around to see if any company (like Kirsch, Conso, Wright) had gotten 'hip' yet and started making backtab woven tape so that a person would just sew on a 4" tape instead of making all those tabs one's self. Seems not. Checked even professional drapery workroom suppliers. I think they are behind the times.
