I love everything. The curtains, the pillows, the whole color scheme, and especially Andrew's high chair (I have an Andrew too, hence my remembering the name ;-)

Mmm, love them. And your secretary and other furniture and pillows and rug and coffee table and and everything else I see. :)

Seriously, I think they look wonderful. I like in the second picture how the color looks in the background with the rug in the main living area.

They look great! ... but I am with you regarding the slightly bluer Ballard velvet panels. I know they are much more expensive but I suspect the bluer shade will be softer and much cheerier-- a combo you will appreciate in the dead of winter. Just a thought-- you can always return them!

Very nice.

I tried to find your original post, but no luck. I remember the Ballard curtains as being a lighter, richer blue. Did you actually have a Ballard sample or were we just looking at pictures from the catalog? That said, these look very nice. I especially like the second picture where we can see how they pick up on the blue in the painting , the pillows, chairs and the rug.

Lizbeth, here are the Ballard curtains:

and here are the curtains from halfpricedrspes.com

There isnt a huge difference in the colors online, but the ones from HPD are a little grayer than the photo.

Here is anpic of the Ballard curtain velvet in bedding; same color and fabric as first curtains pictured above:

But this bedding looks online like the second curtains, not the first!

Do you all think there is enough difference in the color to even worry about?

They look gorgeous! Your home is really beautiful, you've done a spectacular job. I don't think the difference is enough to worry about, both shades are pretty, IMO.

I love your curtains... everything about them including the color! Your home looks so warm and inviting. I would not second guess yourself bc everything looks perfect!

You have made a wonderful space. The curtains go with everything perfectly.

I like these, but I do think I like the color of the first drapes best. But it's hard to tell how much difference there is! I think you are right that these are a bit more gray, not as cornflower blue. At least on my screen, so maybe I am not much help at all. 😂

I like the draperies you've chosen. I thought I would miss the hit of pattern from your other draperies, but the current look works just as well. Kudos!
