DRESSING THE ROOM PINTEREST I see them too. Magazines full of rooms with beautiful windows. Bare windows. But face it, bare is just not practical. HOUSE BEAUTIFUL At some point in the day you need to reduce the light in a room to prevent fading of fabrics, to protect art, floors, paint, furniture PINTEREST Then there is the privacy factor. Even if you live on acres and acres of land with no close neighbors it still feels a little creepy at night to have uncovered windows. HOUSE BEAUTIFUL But my #1 reason for draperies isn't either of these. It's quite simply - beauty. PINTEREST Having bare windows is like getting all ready for the party and forgetting the pretty dress. Draperies dress the window. PINTEREST They add texture or pattern, extend the color palette, add height. PINTEREST They can be functional and block light when you need them to, PINTEREST add privacy, PINTEREST color and texture PINTEREST or simply frame the view. PINTEREST They can make a window appear larger or taller, depending on how they are hung. PINTEREST They finish the room. PINTEREST My personal preference is window treatments that are simple and non-fussy, with good volume. PINTEREST I hate elaborate designs, drapes that don't quite reach the ground, or skimpy skinny panels. HOUSE BEAUTIFUL Simple doesn't mean, however, that they shouldn't feel luxurious. PINTEREST These curtains pull the rich warm red all the way to the ceiling... PINTEREST and although these drapes are neutral in color, they frame the windows and draw the eye to the mirror, the paneling, and up to the detailed dentil molding PINTEREST Functional as well as beautiful, these draperies protect beautiful rugs and upholstery from the sun's damaging rays, as well as creating the perfect focal point for this room PINTEREST and these accentuate the lovely high ceilings and tall windows PINTEREST In a bedroom, with 3 french doors for windows, they are essential for privacy and a little shut eye after the sunrise PINTEREST There are so many details you can add for that touch of elegance PINTEREST PINTEREST PINTEREST but whether custom, or store bought make sure they are lined and if necessary - interlined... so they don't look skimpy..

This one’s for you if you’ve ever wondered what type of window treatment would look best with your tricky windows.
One area of interior decorating that usually produces high anxiety in most all people is the dreaded window treatment. People think they have to spend an enormous amount of money to have their windows look nice. And let's face it, custom draperies and other treatments can be expensive if it is a luxurious look you desire. Billowing draperies made of silk, linen, or taffeta are beautiful, and while I love to work with those fabrics and create high end looks for my clients, the creative part of me also tries to talk them into trying something unique and fun ever once in awhile. This blog post will show you some simple, inexpensive window treatments that are still lovely and unique and will create that "wow" factor for you. Most of these you can make yourself and even the ones you can't will only require a small amount of help. I hope this will help you find an answer to your window dilemma. Try and have some FUN decorating your home! This is the perfect window treatment for a beach or lake home. It is fun and right on theme. Tiebacks are perfect the perfect way to bring that "wow" factor to even simple curtains. These are simple, using only rope and a starfish. You could use ANTHING in the beach or nautical line. Who would have thought an old wooden hanger would have been such a cute curtain rod!! You hang it in the middle to cover your window, and just slide it over to let in the light. This would be really cute on both sides of a window I love this these wonderful straw hats used as a valence. Put yourself up a peg board and start collecting cute hats. Vintage would be my choice but new ones would be fine too. You can really customize this look. This is clever if country is your decorating style of choice. You could do several things with this idea such as using old aprons. You come up with some great ideas!! I think using old lace dresses..... or vintage party dresses......or old tutus and other ballet costumes would be lovely to use if you wanted a more vintage "girlie"look!! Stenciling a window is another charming idea. I love this lacy look! Another fun tieback. To see how to drill a hole in porcelain, check out this link. You will learn how to make a cool lamp as well. http://www.twiggstudios.com/2012/02/diy-tea-cup-lamp-tutorial.html Lovely lace runners stitched together make a wonderful window treatment. Add vintage doilies to a sheer for a bit of interest!! Consider vintage jewelry as a drapery tieback. Can you envision this with a pretty cream silk panel? Simple, fun idea for window treatments in a child's room. Here is another place you can get really creative by adding other things. Can you imagine bunnies with fun stuffed carrots as finals for your rod? Or monkeys with tropical leaves and bananas as your finals. Very easy. A rectangle of fabric tied up over the rod with ribbon, rope, a leather belt, a scarf, beads, the list goes on and on . It depends on YOUR style!! These are very simple window treatments I had made for a client . You simply make a long runner with different coordinating fabrics (these are black/black and white stripes) on either side. Flip the "curtain" over the rod and pull it 3/4 of the way down so the reverse side can sow a bit. I had a gorgeous tassel attached to finish it off. You can really customize with this idea!! I wish I had a better picture of them but think you can get the idea. Such a pretty tieback. You can make something that is equally pretty by finding an interesting branch and hot gluing your birds on and maybe some silk leaves. You can leave your branch natural or paint it with a clear sealer to give it some shine. Just be creative. An awning is always classic and very simple to do. This is a treatment I did for myself for a small room where I just "hang out" It is a reverse awning. I had two large pieces of fabric I had bought just because I liked them so decided to make a window treatment from them. I split the pieces of fabric and finished off the edges. I brought the rods (suspended by tasseled drapery tiebacks) out from the wall approximately two and a half feet, attached them to the ceiling and then used beautiful hammered brass nail heads to pin the fabric to the wall. I then laid the top of the fabric over the rod and let it hang down about a 18 inches. Three easy ways to dress up your windows. I love being different by attaching to the ceiling instead of the wall. These would be great as side panels for sheers, blinds, shutters or what ever you decided to use as window coverings. The third one is simple rolled up and tied with a ribbon. Reversible coordinated fabric would be great for this. What could be better for a country kitchen or laundry room? A vintage spoon makes a wonderful vintage drapery tieback. You could get really creative with customizing this idea of using scarves or vintage handkerchiefs as tiebacks. Lovely window treatment when used in a Bohemian style room. Imagine a window covered with alot of these colored paper chip and string lengths. Boho perfection!! Think outside the box...you don't always need rods!!! For a rustic room, antlers make great curtain tiebacks. Branches are always fun curtain rods! Just remember there is nothing wrong with a touch of whimsy in your decorating.

Thanks for all the feedback on my recent install....and I know the most asked question is about the carpet. Well....I wish I could give you the information. Unfortunately they code the info on the back of the sample so I can't "shop" them.... The best thing you can do is go to a place where they sell carpet and show them the picture. I am sure you can find the same goods. It is 100% polyester. I think someone wanted to know the color of the walls....BM Seapearl. And the small table is from Currey and Co. The upholstered furniture is from Charles Stewart and all covered in performance fabric. The credenzas are from Universal Furniture. Here I am again trying to crank out a post before I have to leave and walk "queenie". If I was a better blogger I would do my post at night but hey.....my train of thought is crappy after working all day. So we will keep it short and tight this AM..... I have some pictures of window treatments that were installed at my project yesterday. They haven't closed yet but it will be nice to have privacy on their first night in their new house.... This house is actually in my neighborhood and is another home built by Ladisic Fine Homes. The architect was Linda MacArthur. This is the large window in the master bathroom....but definitely needed some privacy. And this is the master bedroom Here is the outside view! I chose a sheer and we doubled it for privacy..... This shot was actually taken before they were dressed..... In the master we are doing a double curtain. Sheers for the daytime and then blackout for night! This install took all of 5 hours.....with steaming and dressing them...... The rods are french returns which means they don't have finials and just return into the wall. Since the homes are close in my neighborhood you need some privacy even during the day! Into the foyer.... Again.....this will block the view of the house next door but still let in light! These hadn't been steamed yet....but you get the picture:) And......scene. Dunzo. Happy Halloween! Some of my best childhood memories are Halloween. I grew up in Myers Park, Charlotte and my Mom would dress up and decorate our garage like a haunted house and all the neighborhood kids would go through it that night! This was back when you didn't buy costumes! My Mom actually made every holiday a production.....long before it was "trendy".... So long kids.... Shayheadedintotheweekend
