See the Light With 3 New Ways to Decorate With Sheer Curtains

Evie Sweeten | 01 Aug 2014 | Draperies

In summer time, it’s hard to avoid sunlight wherever you go, including your own home. Trending on the newsstands right now, we found sheer curtains, just the solution that offers style but also lets only a fraction of light filter in. We’ve always admired them, but after this post you’ll fall in love too.
