A bit more!

I love my job!!!!  It is so much fun to see instant gratification.  Whether it is changing something in my house or painting a picture, it is instant gratification.  I think most people like instant gratification
Once something is accomplished, you usually go and try something different.  That is the artistic ability in the majority.  I have heard people say they have no talent.  I think the percentage is so small, I really believe you can do anything you set your mind to.

Here are a few window treatments I talked about yesterday:

 

Both pictures show the same window in a guest room, one is closed and the other is open.  This is one of the triple window treatments I talked about.  The verticals are for privacy, the sheers add elegance, is west facing and the valance is one you can make in an afternoon.  Go to: www.decoratorsworldinc.com to see how.

 

 

This is a west facing window in a client's home.  Made from my DVD.

Here is another one, this has silhouettes, a silk drapery and a cornice, that can be made in less than a day.

 

 

This is another cornice with sheers tied back.  Behind those are verticals, as it is a west facing window, and besides the over sheer tieback, there are sheers that open the full width of the sidelight widows and French doors under the sheers that are tied back.  This window has four (4) treatments.

 

I love the look of double, triple and even 4 treatments.   I have all kinds in my home, besides these.

 

 

These are family room treatments in my home.  The top one is wood 2" blinds with just a swag attached to a wood pole. These are west facing windows.  The bottom one are swags attached to a 1 x 6 with Velcro and a jabot (pronounced ja bo) or cascade.  They are over a plain sheer and nothing else.  It is a north facing window and gets no sun as the lanai protects that sliding glass door.

 

See, a lot of treatments have to do with reasons.  The top one is in a guest room facing west and needs privacy, plus a little elegance.  Hint, the swags can be removed and a whole new look in 10 minutes.  I will do that tomorrow for you to see.

 

So watch your windows, see where they face, purpose of the room and the look you are looking for .  This will help you to decide what you can do.

 

Happy sunshine today, as this is just a small piece of window treatments.
