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.

Simply a Hobbled Shade

This window is in a two story entry way above the front door.  The window is about 72" tall.  The space was enhanced with a hobbled shade out of beautiful appliqued fabric.  The design was spaced three circles across the width of fabric and each were about 12 inches in diameter.  By folding it up and tucking away some of the rust color it brought the appliques closer together showcasing the beautiful fabric and giving the space a lot of punch. Isn't that a beautiful hobbled shade?  It added a lot of rich color to the entry way and the homeowner was thrilled with the design and placement.  I was happy to have it installed and another happy client.
