LOUIES ON THE AVENUE: BEFORE & AFTER

Click image to enlarge!
The existing drapes were a white ready made lace curtain & on three of the 5 windows, & a burgundy scarf of some sort draped over a cafe rod. There are lovely molding details on these windows, so it was important not to cover them. Additionally, in this picture, it was important to showcase the leaded glass window that existed on the top half of these windows.
I chose a plain sheer fabric in a tone that matched the wallpaper. The vine accent in the silk is also of the same color. The end result is a softer ( since we 86ed the white lace) & yet bolder composition. The new drapes also add to the overall height of the windows whereas the old ones looked not only unfinished, but also looked bottom heavy.
