making a decision

Last week I had posted here about my dining room.  On Friday, we had a designer come out and discuss our window.  I enjoyed the meeting but still feel uncertain about what to do.

Here is a sample of what we pulled together.  Chocolate Velvet Curtains with a Greek Key Border/Trim.  I am leaning towards the Brown and Ivory Greek Keys border although I like the green/ivory as well as the blue/ivory border too.

What do you think?  Like or not so much?

My inspiration for my dining room comes from these rooms. I adore this couch with the Greek Keys fabric.  It is amazing as are the colors, they flow together effortlessly.

Another couch I lust after.  The green velvet with the detailed trim draws me in.  The couch is the reason why I think I should have a border on my curtains, I love how it looks.

on the lookout

I have been searching for images of curtains online to try and get a better idea of what I want for our dining room.  It's hard to decide since I don't have a dining room set up, meaning, I haven't picked out chairs, a table, rug, nothing!  Regardless, a decision has to be made so I've found some images that are drawing me in.  Do you like?  What do your dining rooms look like?

windows

This is my incomplete dining room.  This week we are having a designer come out and give ideas, measure and whatever else regarding what they see fit for this space of windows.  We need tall curtains to add privacy and to help with the temperature.    

Just a bit of background, we have espresso cabinets throughout our house, the kitchen is cream cabinets with espresso wood floors.  The floors in this dining room are a creamy tile and the walls are a deep cream with white crown moulding.  I wish I could show you a dining room table but we haven't found one yet that we both can agree on.  I want round the hubs wants rectangle. 

What are your thoughts or recommendations for this wall of windows?
