I ordered these from the big A

I love barns. When it's really hot and the AC is on DH closes back kitchen window. I'll have something nice to lookat. I haven't gotten them yet & there are no reviews.

I love that! What a great idea. Something pretty to look at even when the curtains are closed.

I'm going to keep that in mind, as there is development happening around me, and though I have many nice views still, some things change and I may need to adjust. This could work!

Very nice! Thank you for sharing. Did you buy the pillow too?

They have lots of choices. I won't get them till March.

I didn't get the pillow. I have large books of photos of barns. LOL! I love to ride in the country and see the barns.

Thanks again, @Mary Bailey . I've found some gorgeous panels that may work for me. Not ready to do it quite yet, but I like to be informed and ahead of the game.

I hate hanging rods, though. It's a major investment in "maybe I just screwed up the drywall" if it's not right.

@Sweetbay magnolia I just have a cheap white round rod from walmart attached right above the window frame.

For many years I had no window treatments because the view was of an old farm house across the street. When they tore it down & put up a gas station, I put up curtains.

@Mary Bailey What a fun idea. I have several heirlooms from the family farm so they would make me happy too.

Enjoy.

That is so neat!

And with a matching pillow too!

A great idea esp if the view isn't so good.

Wow! I've never seen anything like that before!

Just remember that the darker colors will make the room seem so much smaller.

Not a problem with many people, but I just hung Mackenzie-Childs cafe curtains on two kitchen windows and now my kitchen seems even tinier than before.

I've made almost a thousand dollar blunder with window curtains this week between the kitchen and the living room.

I like those and I love red barns. I just purchase the Pioneer Woman red barn cookie jar and salt & pepper shakers at Walmart.

edited to add: they are narrow by 3-4 inches. I bought the widest they have. I will have to buy some kind of panel(s) to fill in the gap on the ends of window.

I gave a review that they are not 72" The image is really nice though.

These came today! from China. They look exactly like the picture. Not heavyweight.

I haven't washed them yet. I hope the creases come out. I'm planning to use in the summer.

(edited to add: DH said why wait for summer? so I will hang as soon as they come out of the washer)
