When planning window treatments, I find it very helpful to study the antique, historical window treatments, to understand the proportions. Then I can tell how best to adapt swags and valances to modern window sizes. Many styles are hard to adapt since they were designed for single, tall windows and we have many wide, shorter windows now ....but it is possible to design them with the grace and beauty intact.
STORY:
This Thanksgiving I made a very fast trip to visit friends in Cincinnati and I had a wonderful time and I will write the stories when I have recovered from the traveling! The hardest thing about holidays is that we all still keep working hard right up to those holiday and right after them. Maybe our New Year's resolutions need to be made now...to make more time and space for ourselves during these holidays?!
