Yep, I'm Still Talking About Windows....

I saw these gorgeous drapery panels on Pinterest.  They are custom made and can be purchased through Kirtam Designs on Etsy.

I believe the prices are reasonable.  Since we've been talking window treatments, I thought I would share it with you. 

I'm scratching my head that the top of the drapes, pinch pleats I assume, are not in the photograph.  Seems to me if you are selling a product you would show a full representation, yes?

If you are thinking about updating your window treatments, you might want to check out this company.  If you are in my-neck-o-da-woods, I have a neighbor, a most accomplished seamstress, that might be able to help you. (Or, she might shoot me for promoting her....)

Window Treatments a 'pane'? Yea? or Nay?

I'm not big on window treatments. I rarely use them for staging. I often ask owners to remove window treatments.  We are selling the architectural features of the house (windows) and the view.  Also, window treatments typically block incoming sunlight.

However, I am in awe of beautiful window treatments that are perfectly tailored with sumptuous fabrics and plentiful trim. These ballgown drapes make me swoon! Aren't they magnificent?

These lemon yellow drapes are regal.  The bamboo blinds add great texture and allow the light to shine into this happy room.

These green and gray paisley panels with the ruffled edging are divine! Love how the green complements the beige wall color. The white rod and rings display these pinch pleat draperies beautifully.

What do you think of these pretty floral draperies in this Nantucket beach house?  I like the valance on the smaller windows.  Another pair of panels would have been too heavy.



Few of my clients have contemporary, professionally made window treatments. My biggest beef with most window treatments is that they look skimpy and cheap. Unlined curtains make me crazy. (You HAVE to have a consistent look for curb appeal.) Tab top panels always look wanky after they've been hanging for a while. Old school box valances, tie backs, lace, -- gotta go!

I'm a fan of sheers?  I consider them the 'white shirt' of window treatments.

Any cheers for sheers?
