Romantic Window

I absolutely love window treatments. Especially those created by my friend Mary at The Drapery Shop. This sheer was fabricated by Mary. Adding the glass beads made all the difference in the world. Because the client needed privacy the blinds had to stay. By adding the white sheer the blinds are softened and the sheer becomes the dominate feature at the window.

In the Bedroom

There are spaces that offer little architectural detail. But I subscribe to the thought there is no problem a little fabric and lots of color can't solve. The empty bedroom below was nothing special. It's located in a stately Washington, DC mid-rise building near the National Cathedral. The occupant has a flair for color and a strong sense of style. Sheer fabric was used to drape the adjoining walls behind the bed. Bead fringe swags topped it off... now, that's special.

Plum and chartreuse pillows....loving it!

A large bedroom window was draped in the same sheer style as behind the bed.

If you have a piece you absolutely love don't get rid of it just because it gets a little torn or tattered.... have it reupholstered in a striking color or pattern.
