Another Design Option for Double Stack Windows


Our clients, Jenelle and Earl, contacted us several weeks ago and decided it was time to add draperies to their living room. As the conversation continued, we found out their daughter is getting married and they were be going to hosting the wedding reception at their home. What a perfect way to use part of the wedding decorating budget! We proposed two different styles that we thought would be perfect for their space. After reviewing the renderings we created, they decided on the Basketweave style panels. Since the panels were going to be almost 17' long, we felt like the Basketweave would add extra detail and break up the length of the draperies.




It was a win-win for everyone! Jenelle daughter will have a beautiful space for her reception and Jenelle and Earl will have fabulous Basketweave draperies in their home to remind them of their daughter's wedding. Since these windows produced a lot of heat and light, I also recommended tinting their windows with Vista film from Solar Insulation and adding Hunter Douglas Duette Duolite Shades. The Duette Shades from Hunter Douglas are two shades in one. The top of the shades is a sheer Duette and the bottom shade is a semi-opaque Duette. I love these shades. They one of my favorites!

Beautiful Window Treatments for Bay Windows!




Our clients, John and Marleen have in a beautiful home on the lake and of course all lake homes include a beautiful view. Marleen loves to retreat to her master bedroom to read and gaze out at the beautiful view. What a perfect spot for a relaxing retreat.

John and Marleen wanted to add window treatments to warm up their space. We decided to add a swag style top treatment with stationary drapery panels. For privacy, we installed Hunter Douglas Eclipse Duette Shades. These shades provide almost total blackout, which makes for a perfect sleeping environment. The rendering convinced them to move forward with the project.

Woven Wood Blinds - Warm Up a Room


Woven Wood blinds from Hunter Douglas can be a great solution to help reduce heat from the sun. They also add a unique natural style that no other hard treatment can add. They add a natural feel to any room since they are made with natural wood products. You can use these shades as a standalone treatment or add them under drapery panels to achieve a fabulous look. It's one of my favorites. I used these shades in my breakfast room to add beauty and deflect some of the heat in the hot summer months. There are hundreds of choices available in style and color for these natural beauties. They can be installed as an inside or outside mount.

Woven woods can be a perfect choice for a study or an office when a more tailored or masculine look is desired. A blackout or a privacy liner can be added when glare on a flat screen TV or a computer monitor is a problem. When woven woods are used without a liner the result is a soft filtered view. Since I have a fantastic view from my very large bay window the soft filtered view was the perfect choice for the breakfast room.
