Curtain fashions

I've been noticing this curtain heading combined with simple but elegant rods for some time in the top design mags and have recently offered this look to one or two clients for a relaxed alternative to the triple pinch pleat.

Good news for Canberra, pelmets are great insulators and are also making a fashion comeback.


 
 As are café  curtains.

Here is a little Roman blind in a striped linen, that I recently installed into a client's butler pantry.

 My client was tired of pinch pleats so for a just a little glamour and to get the proportions just so, I chose a double pencil pleat for this metallic sheer which was combined with a silver gilded rod and finials.
 
Looking forward to showing  more window treatments I've designed and supplied as projects are photographed later this year.

Joan Rivers' Bedroom


Just spotted this in my files.  many years ago before pinning and blogging I scanned these images of Joan River's bedroom that from memory was featured in Architectural Digest.  So pink, so sophisticated and definitely lux,  what a delight.  What a pity she is gone.
