Décor etc.: Think Shades for Window Treatments

Hi Girlfriends,

Before introducing you to the rest of the window treatments of shades, WE love this treatment and we can't wait to suggest this to a client this week. As we all know, "Less is best" and this treatment truly proves it. Both in looks and budget. If you study the treatment, look in the mirror to see how graceful the folds fall. Isn't it amazing how light helps neutrals speak in clear tones too?

Light. It can reflect your mood......................or change it.

Whether your new home or current home is a blank canvas or reflects the tastes of previous owners, you can give it your personal decorating touch with Hunter Douglas, Conrad Shades, or custom fabric made. Window coverings make an enormous difference in the enjoyment of your home. They add beauty, enhance light quality and provide privacy. They can even reduce utility bills. Blinds, shades, sheers and shutters are classic treatments that bring style into a room without overpowering it. They'll last and be valued as long as you own your home!

Denise: It can energize or calm.

Gwen: It can be soothing..........glowing.........penisive.......or mysterious.

Denise: The secret is in light control.

Hunter Douglas: "Ask any decorator, any photographer, or, for that matter, any real estate agent what makes a room beautiful and desirable and they'll say it's all a matter of light."

We are posting some great looks in shades and study them to see how they all work and come together for each project:
