Swags over a rod.

Sometimes just a little
fabric swagged over
a pole is all a
window needs.

Kitchen swags.

Three different fabrics as well as trim were used in Gayen's kitchen. Notice the small check on the boards as well as on the buttons and tie. The striped fabric is used not only on the roman shade but as a contrast on the jabots also. A colorful tassel fringe adds to the detail.

Cafe curtains.

The cafe curtains give Laurie all the privacy she needs in her dinette. Notice the banding along the top and bottom edge match the inset of the pleats on the valance. A wide custom fringe adds to the detail.

It's all in the details.

Notice the detail in this box pleated bell valance.
There is self binding along the bottom edge
and
self piping along the top edge.

Gysela's kitchen is complete.

A contemporary kitchen.

These roman valances are the perfect design for Adrienne's contemporary kitchen. Made from a crinkle silk fabric with a deep blue band to tie into the tile work, they are hung above the windows at the cupboard height to give the illusion of longer/taller windows.

What a cheerful bedroom.

Jane went from plain blue walls and flooring to this beautiful array of colors and design. The paisley print on the duvet is found on the bolsters and toss pillow. The floral pattern is on the valance and the shams. The stripe can be found on the bed skirt, toss pillow, window seat and valance with the dark rose of the upholstered headboard anchoring the entire look.

Drop dead gorgious!

Go from bare

To beautiful

Nicole's dining room has balloons made from rich velvet embossed silk with gold silk inlays. There is plenty of fullness to give depth and beauty.

With this strong bold wall color, a print is a perfect contrast. Kimberly chose the stripe on her doorwall with plain white hardware to elongate her window, then used the stripe as a contrast with the floral swags on her window.

Life happens

Wow, the month of August went by without a single post. I've got lots to share, sorry for the delay, life happens.
