DIY hibiscus dyed curtains

we are so lucky to have gorgeous bay windows in our bedroom. but as of now they are only covered by hideous, old, dirty and cheap plastic blinds that came with the house. we've been searching for awesome curtains, but don't want to break the bank, especially as i have a tendency to change my mind on design ideas pretty quickly.

we think we want our overall look to be light, airy and a little pop of blues or violet colors on the ends to accent.

we were searching around bed, bath + beyond and we spotted these. i just loved the subtle texture. so we bought 8; 2 panels for each window, so they are still soft + light but thick enough to give us privacy.

HOWEVER, i scooped up all 8 of the ivory color. no white. so as we are putting them up and thinking they look gorgeous, the more that we put up, the worse it looks against our white trim. ugh.

so i've been toying with the idea to bleach them white (they don't even exist in white. i've checked everywhere!) but then what's the point of spending all that money to still have to fix them. annoying.

now i'm thinking maybe i'll experiment with one and dye it a very faint color. i'm loving this shade of pink + idea and the fact that it's natural. 

otherwise, i think i might just try good ol' rit dye and go for a shade of lilac. right now, i'm liking shade 600, 116 and 563. i'll keep you posted on the progress of the curtains.
