Lilly's New Big Girl Room

Big Girl Room with Gorgeous window treatments ~ This pale pink toile with a large print was a great choice for a young girl's room. She will be able to grow with this for years and if they were to move, panels are easily adapted to new windows. I love her pink tu-tu hanging on her closet door!

Here is tiny Lilly in her new " Big Girl Room" ! She is getting a new baby brother so, a new room was in order as well. The gorgeous white slipcovered headboards are a real focal point for the room. They are so fresh and clean. This picture also shows off a pair of new dust ruffles shown again below.

These windows were tricky because they ran right into the corner of the room. 3 panels cover the awkward architecture. We found a ticking stripe that matched the beautiful pink toile and banded out the borders of the panels for a more custom look. The white curtain rods and rings match the new crown molding.

These twin beds are so girly! The precious white matelasse is plain enough to pull off a really fussy bed skirt. We created a layered ruffle out of a solid pink underneath and a beautiful tulle with tiny pink bows sewn all over it! Looks like a ballerina's tu-tu!

The small window in the bathroom off of the new big girl room got a boxpleated valance to match the sink skirt below. This took very little material to pull off and the fabric covered buttons make it look so special.

This bathroom right off of Lilly's new room was another place to incorporate the girlish material. We made a removeable boxpleated sink skirt that velcros right under the sink.

Another great pic of the job below. This is a great headboard the client made herself with only her trusty staple gun - no sewing machine required! -- course I can make one for you too! :)

New box-pleated bedskirt compliments an existing matelasse. I love a vertical stripe in a bedskirt! We prewashed the material so that after it had been sewn it can be easily laundered. An awesome trio of euro shams ties it all together. The large 28" flanged edged shams are $30 a piece for labor alone. They have a finished envelope closure in the back and easily laundered just like the bed skirt. I love the rich print in the center of the stripe.
Those of you who are waiting for the brown and blue craze to end should get over it. Because it is gender neutral and appears so "hotel-chic", it will remain a popular and relaxing choice for bedrooms especially. It is also very relaxing, unlike bolder reds and browns. Maybe a reinvention or fresher spin on this trend is the tanish taupes coupled with the pale blues instead of chocolate brown.

Once a pale lavender guest room and now a new baby girl's nursery - The existing lavender gingham roman shades are "fussied -up" and united by a valance made from a paisley linen. Trimmed in a box-pleated edge made from the same material and draped in all directions this room now appears to be a nursery for a new baby girl.

This is a valance I did for 2 brothers who share bunk beds in their Titans Themed room. Their smart Mommy purchased a store-bought bedskirt that matches the rest of their room, and we made the valance out of that. So simply done. I stapled it to a 2 x 1" piece of wood and drilled it into the wall.

Dramatic Dining Room

Silly me cannot make this image turn but, This is a full look at the treatment. Keep in mind this is x 2 windows. We did panels to the floor united by a swag with rusching that adds some formality to the room than just plain panels would on their own. The homeowners are a fun young couple and though they have a full service dining room did not want it to take on a look that might convey a much older couple was living here. This look reflects them well.

This dining room is painted a dramatic red and the window treatments match the same mood. A vibrant black and white contemporary print matches the art as well as the future plans for the chairs.

This is the top portion or "header" of the treatment and a better look at the fabric. The 2 windows in this room were treated exactly the same. We reversed the material to draw definition between the panels and the valance above. Dressy but, not too serious for the homeowners who enjoy this room.

Kitchen Bay window

Imagine the green walls all the way around this bay window. Rather than dressing the windows themselves, we put a valance above and all the way across this entire area. From underneath the valance I stapled stationary panels the frame out the entire space. This "eat-in" kitchen area is definately a focal point now ands appears very custom.
