Enriching the Study at the Window

This window is about to be transposed.  You can see the view of the neighbors and that was too close for comfort. The office/study is used by both of the homeowners.  It is a 60" wide window neatly tucked in between built-in bookshelves. 
The first order of business was to add wood blinds to the window to filter the light, give quick control of the light and provide absolute privacy when needed.  There will be neighbors soon.  Sorry for the poor quality photo.  So much light pouring in.  But we soon solved that issue.  
The addition of cordless 2" wood blinds was a great way to control and filter light.  The next layer was two side panels in a soft gold crushed fabric with contoured tie backs.  It was trimmed in bold flat trim and matching cording.
A shaped cornice was added as the third and final layer.  It copied the curve of the window and capped the treatment.  Cording was applied at the top and bottom edges of the cornice.  The fabric was a rust velvet.



This photo shows you how close this treatment fit between the book shelves.





The treatment added warmth, charm and a very inviting feeling to the study.  The homeowners were pleased with the end result.  That is my full intention: to have satisfied clients.  A satisfied client is usually a returning client, and that is a good thing.
My final photo is what I call a "sweeping" photo.  I love the detail at the hemline.  The top of window treatments is what usually gets all the attention.  But I love a good hemline.  This is a good looking hemline.  The detail is what makes this treatment outstanding.  Oh--I also have to say, "These clients are outstanding, also."  Thanks Jeff and Sarah for your patience and your love of good fabrics and design.

Kitchen Window Looks Complete

 The homeowners have a view from every side of their home.  It is beautiful.  Not much needs to be said or done when it comes to making these windows look great.  You enjoy the view so much, I think you might not even see the treatments.  However, I was asked to do the treatments for this home.  My son actually built this home.  It was a great project and the attention to detail is what makes this home stand out above the rest.  This is the kitchen window.  I kept the treatment simple as you can see.  Bold fabric, beaded trim, slight scallop all on tension rod. Breakfast room has two french doors in the bay that walks out to the patio.  Using the same fabric on black rods I made sure not to cover up the view in any way.  It was just perfect for the space.

Pink and Polka Dots

The French doors to this little girl's bedroom are lightly covered with sheer white dotted Swiss fabric. This creates a semi-private feel.  The girls are only 2 and 3 years old.  So parents peeking in once in a while is expected.   This room had two windows that balloon shades on a tension rod were installed.  Some sheer dotted Swiss panels were added to again create privacy for the girls.     The tie backs on the french doors were one of the stripes from the fabric turned and fastened in place. Over each bed a flowered corona was placed and sheer dotted Swiss panels and valance were hung.  Each girl sleeps in a big girl bed and feels like a princess.  The chandelier is pink and clear crystals.  Adorable!
