Lots of Windows--Lots of Grommets

This bedroom was painted a bright aqua and had lots of windows. Actually one of the windows was a set of french doors which led to a balcony. There was lots to cover and a need to close the draperies often so the "teenager" could sleep in if she so desired.

My challenge was to create something that was fresh, contemporary and very functional.

So knowing how well grommets travel back and forth on a metal rod, I started there. Unable to find any matching fabric to coordinate with the Pottery Barn bedding that had be selected, we chose white duck fabric, lined it with blockout lining and trimmed it with bright aqua pom pom fringe. The rods were mounted in the corners of the bay and floor length draperies were added.

The view was spectacular.

Unfortunately my photo showing the draperies all closed is dark. Guess why? The lining was doing its job.
She was very happy with the treatments.

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!

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.
