Make a great first impression, your front door should not be forgotten. This homeowner chose to decorate her side lights with swags and beautiful tassel trim, not only welcoming family and visitors alike but adding color and texture where there was none.
The original chair looks perfectly fine, however, once it’s reupholstered in a rich new stripe it looks perfectly divine. The new color palette brings out and enhances the rich wood tones.
Smocking tape was used for the construction of the top treatment of this balloon valance. The fullness and weight of the valance come from the many vertical pleats and it is hung on a 2.5″ metal continental rod with drapery pins. The bottom edge is adorned with a coordinating fringe. This balloon valance is best used as a stationary treatment to keep the wrinkles at bay once it is raised and lowered.
