Before and After of Window

True or False ~ "We have blinds in all of our windows so we don't really need window treatments." Answer~ False ! Window treatments add so much more to a room than just light filtration and privacy. You can tell a huge difference in this entire room.
We started with 3 store bought panels inherited from another home and split one down the middle to create 2 width and a half panels. They are thicker and more luxurious this way. The panels are hung just on the edge of the window to give the appearance the window is much bigger. So much better.


Inexpensive Rod Pocket Panels


These are some very simple unlined "rod-pocket" panels for my little boy's room. Something like this would cost between for $40 and $50 for both panels total. I purchased the material at Joann's for less than $15!
We have done primary colors in this room. Even though there are blinds to block out light, curtains were another opportunity to add color to this room.

2 wingback chairs

2 inherited wingback chairs are pictured here. One is with the new slipcover done in upholstery grade material so it is real stiff and hides dirt well. The original chairs are great quality and sturdy but outdated.
Now they flank a handsome fireplace and fit right into this family's decor. Box pleated skirts on the slipcovers totally hide the curvy wooden legs of the chairs and give them a much different appearance.

Slipcovered Chaise Lounge

This is a real pretty addition to a Master Bedroom. It is a slipcover but, doesn't appear to be. The couple inherited many quality pieces but, the upholstery was outdated and faded. This piece looks like the rest of the room now.
The chaise lounge sits next to a queen size bed pictured below with 3 euro shams across the front in a coordinating material.
