Ridiculously giddy about my new curtains

When we moved into this house, there was only one set of window treatments in the entire place...denim blue valances over the living room bay window.  They matched beautifully with the denim blue couch that had been left for us by the previous owners, and I hated them both.  The couch was replaced shortly after we moved in, but I was having the most difficult time finding valances that I liked.  To start, I needed something with color because the walls are all off-white, and I wanted something that could stand out.  At the same time, I wanted something with rather neutral colors because I like things to be versatile.  They also needed to have 3" rod openings, and the few I could find that I liked didn't meet that requirement.  Finally last week I ordered some that I really like, and when I saw on the shipping tracking that they were scheduled to arrive yesterday, I almost couldn't contain my excitement!  When the box arrived late afternoon I immediately opened them and was literally giddy about putting them up.  Unfortunately, it was at least a two person job (and at times it required four of us) and it was about dinner time, so it had to wait.  They finally got up about 7:00 last night, and I absolutely could not be happier about them.  I love them!!!!!  It is such a small and minor change, and honestly there is a good chance that people who have been here before aren't even going to notice that they've changed.  But I know, and I'm thrilled.  I have never been this excited about curtains before!
