The Little Black Button

Doesn't every fashion conscience closet have" the little black dress"?

Well in the world of window fashion, these cream woven pinch pleated draperies were crying for some attention. The black banding on the leading edge was speaking for itself, but all those little pleats at the top wanted to be noticed.

I accented the "pinch" of the pleat with a covered button. That is exactly what was needed to coordinate with the big black metal rod. I wish the photo showed the finials. There were great.

These draperies were lined and interlined. The fabric was a thick woven cotton purchased at Anatol's Fabrics in Brentwood. Here is the link: http://housefabrics.com/. Great little fabric shoppe. Visit sometime if you can.

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!
