New curtains for new living room

Of course, since we got new furniture I needed to get new curtains for the living room as well (the other ones were green).

Spent Saturday night running to Menards to grab some paint samples, then back home to see which color matches the best. Then, searching a bunch of stores to find curtains (that I like) in the right color. It was a no-go.

In Sunday's paper, I looked at the sales and Shopko ended up having 40% off all window treatments! That was one store we didn't make it to on Saturday night, so I went out there Sunday. Found some panels in blue for $6.99 each and a scarf to drape along the top for $4.99 each. I think I made out pretty well on the prices of new curtains:
4 panels at 6.99 each - 27.96
2 scarves at 4.99 each - 9.98
2 sets of tiebacks at 7.67 each - 15.34

I just hope that the curtain rods that are there will work OK, otherwise I will be off to the store to look for new ones. Now, I just gotta iron those dang things!
