These curtains are gorgeous. I ordered them in mushroom and it is a true taupe color or the lighter side of brown. They came beautifully packaged and are well made. I am so thankful to be able to purchase longer, lined draperies this way. You really can achieve a great design without spending a fortune. I started out buying all custom and parting with insane amounts of cash to achieve my desired look. Well..I have learned a few things along the way and will be doing all window projects from now on through Joss and Main and Wayfair. The final result is every bit as nice plus I can actually sleep at night! Just saying..
