Okay ladies (and Darks, with the "eye" for taste); I need your opinion. I need to order some curtains and I'm in a dilemma. Of the three that I'm down to, I have some concerns about each. The first one, I can order in the length and width I need, no problem. I can also order a balloon valance, which I prefer, instead of the fringe valance shown. The problem is that I'm afraid that the gold might be too dark. I like it, but I kinda want something softer.

.

The second one is really my favorite. The problem with that one is that it is really hard to judge on the computer what the actual color is. If it is a cream color with a slight yellow tint, it would look great, but if it is really yellow, it wouldn't. Also, those are only available in one size, which I can make work for one of the windows, but for the other window, where the celing is lower, I would have to shorten them.

.

.

The last one is also only available in one length with the same issues, but also, it is available in 4 colors. Problem is, they only show one color, and I'm not even sure which one it is (amethyst, laurel, sapphire or curry), because when there is a color blend like that, you can never be really sure which color they're basing it on. And then, there's the same problem with judging the color on the computer. As they appear here, they are probably too dark.

.

. I really want to get this done because the old curtains, which were intended to be temporary anyway, really look bad with the new furniture. I took a picture of the furniture that I was going to post, but for some reason the browser isn't reading my camera's memory. I have no idea what that's about. Anyway, here's a picture of some that's similar to give you an idea. The color and overall appearance is pretty close to the same.

Bottom photo makes me melancholy.

Twin Towers in the window.

I'd go with the middle set.

It depends on the coloring on your walls and floor.
