Hold up!

I ordered curtain holdbacks awhile ago, and we finally got them up.

It's a big improvement over knotting them up when I need to get to the windowsill. Since there is only one panel on each window, we only added one holdback. 

I ordered new curtains, since I hate the color of these. The new ones will just be white, which will look cleaner against the white window sills. I feel like we are finally making some progress on all the knickknack clutter, but looking at the photo, the room is still pretty busy.
