I finished the drapes last week to this sweet room.  Drapes are out of silk with blackout lining.  The hardware is from Robert Allen.

Shutters from Hunter Douglas.

I love the look of shutters.  These shutters open and close by a touch of the vanes.  They also open completely to the left or right for easy cleaning.

A picture is worth a thousand words........... not with my camera.  These pictures just do not capture how pretty these frontroom drapes turned out.
The fabric is from Greenhouse Fabrics and hardware from Curtains Up.  This is a 2" rod and there was no space for finials so there is endcaps.


This window treatment is in the master bedroom.  The sheers are from Rm Coco and once again the hardware is from Curtains Up.  The middle picture shows a rosette in the center of the rod.  The outer layer is a white Dupioni Silk lined with blackout lining.  I love silk, it has a beautiful texture.
Dupioni Silk comes from the cocoon of a silkworm.  It is created when the threads from two different silkworms spin their cocoons close together and the fibers get tangled up. The tangled fibers are then used to make silk thread.  Silk Dupioni is naturally irregular in texture and each bolt is different.  Each window treatment is never the same it is unique.
