Finally, our drapes are installed!!

The whole "cobblers kids have no shoes" saga is over and we have window covering in our upstairs remodel!!   Those sheets were driving me nuts.

Now I have the daily pleasure of opening and closing our various window treatments. (And some privacy!)

 My favorite of all...the sheers in the closet/dressing room, they blow gently in the breeze and bring a lovely calm to the room.  It is remarkable how much coverage they provide. (with the right lighting).  I now think everyone should employ this window treatment.  I think not finding the right double brackets have held me back...but now that I have found them, we're all about the double rods here at The Whole 9 Yards!

So I have finally faced my, how shall we say, "focus" on hardware and am very happy with my selection of drapery rods. I found the perfect double bracket- no easy task, if you ever tried you know what I mean. The rings for this group have several styles. I used two different ones here. The more decorative, for the "leading" edge, the simpler for the body of the curtains. I was concerned it would be too much to do them all in the more decorative style- but isn't the detail of them FAB?!

The Roman shades above the window seat are perfect for the area. We needed something that would allow different levels of opening, depending on how full the trees are...this has worked out perfectly. I spend most every morning on the window seat with a great cup of french press (what a brat!).

(I really should have gotten a close up on the pillow on the chaise, also the pillows I have on the bed- Alice out did herself...next blog...Pillows!)

This is the Roman shade that is at the top of the stairs. We can see out this window from the shower. Because of the size of this shade, and the challenge of reaching it, I wanted it to be tailored and had the rods throughout the body of the shade.

So, in closing...get those window treatments done!  You will be glad you did...it took us long enough!!
