LOOKING OUT THE LIBRARY WINDOW

Girlfriends, How simple is this sheer treatment?-!!

Denise:  "This elegant design was hung with 9- 4.25D" tiebacks and with glass beaded trimming running down the side. (Robert Allen fabrics.com) extending from the wall above the 2-story arch."

Gwen:  "G.F.s One important hint is always use an "odd" number of tiebacks when doing this treatment.  Better on the eye movement."

Denise: " Oooooo but please understand g.f.s, this treatments for arched windows are more costly to construct or fabricate than those for straight-top windows."

Gwen:  "Excellent reminder.....have your measurer measure from the center of the top of the arch.  It's all about yardage."

Denise:  Yes, measure twice cut once.  

Denise is going to 'jaywalk' here and say............remember to watch "Swingtown" 9P Chicago time tonight......the bases for this summer steamer was real-!!

Stunning Palladian Window Treatment

Hi Girlfriends,

Isn't this a fabulous soft treatment to your Palladian window? The good news is , not much more fabric and trim is needed. Adding a rod, brackets and finials just complete the entire look.

Denise: "Once this treatment is measured and sewn to correct specifications, the result is successful."
Gwen: "Yes, but, make sure the measurer calculates the stackback."
Denise: " Uh, Gwen, explain "stackback" to our girlfriends."
Gwen: "Stackback is the area needed by opened draperies to stack off the glass."
Denise: " This would give maximum daylight exposure and better proportion of the window because the glass is fully exposed too."
Gwen: "What really adds to the room is the richer, fuller look and a quieter interior due to increased fabric yardage surrounding the glass. Also, I have done this treatment many times in Dupioni silk and I can't tell you how fabulous the look is. So rich looking.........simply stunning.

One 'secret' we have is, we have resources for you to contact in your area for measuring and installation. If you choose to use Dupioni silks, we can get this to happen at a much lower pricing then if you went through someone on your end. By leaving a "Comment" or going to our website, discountdesignerfabricsonline.com, we can begin to help you.

Talk later,

Denise:  Credit to these 2  "ladies" were scanned from a very old promotional ad by Tiffany & Co.  Thanks to "IWEB" magazine June 2008 issue, I found a blog site that interested me.  Today I went into it and found artist the artist, Sujean Rim. This artist appears a lot on blog, dailycandy,  too.  I am thrilled to begin the process of following Sujean Rim's career.

Tiebacks Are In

Girlfriends, The right execution in your window treatments is DETAILS, DETAILS, DETAILS.  

Gwen: Tiebacks soften a room with curved lines and provide a pleasant diversion from the stiff angular lines of most window architecture.

Denise:  I find the exact placement of the tie on the panel is a matter of individual sensitivity and discretion, but should fall somewhere between 1/2 and 1/3 of the way from the top or the bottom of the treatment.

Gwen: True, but girlfriends, any tied back should not drop closed at night; they are "trained" to fall in a progressive diagonal arrangement.

Denise:  Exactly, and they will not hang straight if dropped.

Gwen:  If this is done.....heaven forbid......the effort necessary to hand dress the folds back into place is time-consuming too-!!

Denise: Girlfriends, when your treatments are up, remember, your work is done.

Kravet Fabrics.com is a fabulous source for tiebacks and then go to our website and order at low, low pricing.
