drapes? - I have been looking for plaid drapes for the dining room. Can you tell me if they were purchased or custom made? I have not been able to find the plaid fabric I'm looking for anywhere. »
Built without lavishness or waste, farmhouses historically were constructed using material that was readily available: rough-hewn beams, a fieldstone dining room fireplace and wide plank flooring, for example.
BARN BOARD ROOM UP-DATE:
Low beamed wood ceiling (scale down to 2 X 4 w/ cove molding). Would definitely o.k. w/ existing plaster swirl ceiling.
Use harvest table w/ Hitchcock chairs.
Use old colonial dough box, lamp table, phone table, wagon seat coffee table.
Note long horizontal picture & sconces above narrow mantel.
Note color colonial red & antique blue rug w/ black chairs.
Note plaid fabric for curtains made with simple rod hem.
Query whether faux wood beams (e.g., http://www.fauxwoodbeams.com/) would be a sufficient and less costly way to simulate structural cross-beams and create a less formal yet traditional look?

Love the piece of furniture in the corner, love the color for possible furniture. I have a 6x6 china cabinet of Aunt Larue's I would love to paint something similar to this.
