These curtains are just as beautiful as they are pictured!  LOVE the lace layer in front of the beige - it softens the "plainness" and adds a touch of extra pretty to the room.  The blackout isn't as true of a blackout as I had hoped; you can still see daylight through the fabric, although it is quite darkening.  Fabric is of excellent quality.  Bought 2 sets total and it just finishes the room.  HIGHLY recommend!
