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.


Kirtam Designs
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....)


Later,
Linda

I'm Just Saying.....

A realtor just sent me pictures to write an e-consultation report.  Sorry the picture is so fuzzy. But, it is the perfect example illustrating my point from my last post about window treatments.

These massive valances are too fussy and heavy for this room.  Plus, they look dated. 

The target market for this house is a young family.  Young families, typically, aren't attracted to classical furnishings.  Today's generation are attracted to light, bright and airy.  This room is weighed down by massive furniture, too much furniture, bulky window treatments, heavy rugs, and stuffy accessories (silk plants, statuary, porcelain doo-dads, etc.).

Also, you need to take into account the time of year you are selling your house.  What might look cozy for selling in the winter months, does not hold the same appeal in the summer.

Enough of my rant....back to work.  Need to get this report out ASAP!

Thanks for listening,
Linda
