My Formula For Using Curtains vs. Shades

We finally hung some more permanent curtains up in Greta's room, and I absolutely love how they turned out. Her room is far from "finished," in fact, she recently revealed to me that she doesn't really like pink anymore (teens), but her room feels much more cohesive now.
