What I learned…

Posted by Sarah on Friday Aug 28, 2009 Under Window Treatment

I read an amazing post about window treatments on Cote de Texas yesterday, which I highly recommend reading.  I was perusing a Better Homes & Gardens slideshow about color and pattern when I came across this image,

Now this was meant to be a study in the use of pastels but what I noticed was the window treatments that were used in this room.  It appears that it is one large natural shade, mounted on the outside of the bank of three windows.  If this were my room, I’m pretty sure my instinct would’ve been to hang three separate bamboo shades but after reading CdT’s post I realize I may have been chopping up that nice horizontal line of windows.  What’s your preference here?

Update-CdT also wrote a great post about Restoration Hardware turning Belgian. Also a great read.

Really digging Little Green Notebook

Posted by Betsy on Wednesday Jul 29, 2009 Under DIY, Window Treatment

Thank you to Isuwannee who linked us up on a farewell post with several other of her Blog Favorites. They were all great reads for me.

I was doing my usual quick break peruse and just loved this DIY Pinch Pleated Curtain post over at LITTLE GREEN NOTEBOOK. Check her out! Isn’t that room a really great mix of colors and textures.. Are you falling in love with everything black and white like I am…? (I’ve noticed several of my last posts have included a stripe here and there.)

This room is totally giving me some tangible ideas for a now completely empty guest room that I need to put back together. (My roomates moved out this week.) A humoungo thanks to Jenny at Little Green Notebook for the ideas… Including a totally easy and inexpensive matching Bookshelf job. Your room looks great.

Bedroom Window Treatment

Posted by Betsy on Thursday Jun 4, 2009 Under Window Treatment

Dear Sarah,

I know its not what we discussed, but I accidentally loved them too much to leave them. So I bought these curtains for my bedroom from Pier1. If they don’t work into the ModGyp scheme that we devised then I decided that they could easily translate into teeny tiny curtains in the Vintage Shasta Camper.
