Could it be I've gone tartan blind??

ARRRRRGUH!!!!

The desperate and powerful 'jones' has me completely in it's clutches! Ever since I ordered my 4 yard wool, casual in Bruce tartan from Matt Newsome, I've attempted to stave off all callings of the tartan and the kilt. I've stopped checking xmarks, I've not opened my kilt closet, I've forced myself to cease all tartan searches on the internet---because the yearning is so very strong!!!!

Help---help I say! What is a Bruce-Newsome-Locharron Joneser to do????

Oh--the agony of the next 6-8 weeks!!!!!

When I read the title, I thought that you were getting blinds made out of tartan. What a good idea I thought - then I read your post.

I have no advice to give you.

Chas, you have NO idea how hard it is to NOT search for tartan blinds now

Wonder what an interior designer would say if you launched into a discussion of whether your pleated blinds should be to the stripe or the sett. . .

When they say "Don't mix tartans", do you think that goes for cushions as well?

I've seen heavy drapery box-pleated, and the upholstery on the arms of chairs is done in a sort of mini-knife-pleat. I have a Royal Stewart tablecloth in which the yellow stripes were woven with metallic gold thread.
