It took the hubs and I awhile to agree on how flowery and colorful the office curtains could be and I think we found the perfect solution that made us both happy. I took this photo on a bright sunny day. They do great to block the sun when it is beating in, but still let some light through which is what we want in the office. I didn't iron them or anything, just took them out of the package and hung them up and they've worked themselves right out of wrinkles for the most part.
