Have a great nights sleep with this reversible coverlet. One side a gorgeous velvet of oriental coral, the reverse side a deep sage green. The euro pillows are also reversible and have a multi toned brush fringe along the edges. Floral shams and a striped pillow add color and whimsy.
This sheffield valance could look like it is floating along the top of this long and narrow window. The long tails (or jabots) coming down to the half way point of the window help balance the look without the need for side panels.
The same sheffield valance with jabots is used in the bay window of the dinette with a long expanse of pleats (14 to be exact) to frame the windows and enhance the gorgeous views. Tassel trim and contrast lining finish the treatment.
Windows open, beautiful day, enjoy the view.
A little light control, daytime privacy.
Good nights, great sleeps.
In the field of interior design and decoration, a cornice is the decorative molding between the ceiling and the top of a wall. It may be as simple as a strip of crown molding, but often extends several inches along the wall and across the ceiling using many different pieces of wood and moulding. A cornice can also be a decorative molding that runs around the top edge of a cabinet or other pieces of furniture, forming a frame. When it refers to a window treatment, a cornice is a decorative structure mounted above a window. A cornice board is basically a u-shaped box that is made of a lightweight construction material, usually thin plywood. This board is then padded and upholstered with a fabrics and trims of choice to accent the interior of the room. Cornices come in many styles and sizes and add a touch of beauty over any window. They can hide room imperfections and can conceal curtain and drapery hardware. A cornice can also add height and width to your window as well as change the shape of your window. They can be custom designed and fitted to your exact specifications.
The cornice has been updated and reupholstered. Again with two sections but now the fabric is all stretched onto the board and two thirds of the cornice board is divided with decorative roping separating the two giving depth and visual interest to the window treatment. The same board, same framework, two different looks.
These doors from the dining room to the patio were given new life. The goblet pleated draperies were hung at the ceiling to give height to the room and were also hung beyond the windows on the wall to add width to the doors. A fabric covered button at the base of each pleat adds a classic detail.
