Considering Curtains

I need some curtains for my new rental. While I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for just yet, I thought I'd share with you the work of Samantha Pynn, who, in my opinion, is a master of drapery (among other things). I think her striped and banded looks would be extremely achievable via DIY and some off the rack curtains. Check it out:

Lovely no? I can't decided which ones are my favourite. Oh and how good are those bubblegum pink chairs in the first image.

Inspiration Is All A Twitter

Snob Inspired Designs

The beginning stages of any design needs to begin somewhere.

For one Dining Room I found inspiration in the black & white photos of Colorado Springs from The early 1900's the client had hanging on a wall.

Sepia tones are always a favorite.  Natural elements, a beaded placemat and a votive candle pull together and express the inspiration nicely.

  

Fabrics and wall colors complement each other.

Paint colors are Sherwin Williams and fabrics are Wesco Fabrics.

If you're feeling inspired, you can ordere these fabrics today.

Colorful Curtains!

Do you have the Monday blues? I sure do. It's my last day of my lucky full month and one day off between semesters. Although I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things, I can't help but want to continue relaxing for just a few more days. The best cure to the blues, however, is a bright injection of good interior design. Today, I bring you this in colorful curtains.

^ Designer Samantha Pynn livens up a black and white scheme with these blue floral curtains. The fabrics are from The Finnish Place. I think the curtains absolutely steal the show in this kitchen.

^ The two images above use the same beautiful floral and fruitful curtain to set off the white walls. I got them from different sources, so I'm not sure whether or not they are from the same living space. Either way, both feature a beautiful use of the bold fabric.

^ Curtains aren't just for windows you know! Add a pop of colour to your closets with this fun idea.

^ I'm loving these pink floral beauties.

My favourite featured look here is Sam Pynn's. In fact, I think she's brilliant with curtains in most of her designs, adding piping or colour bands to simple ready made drapes in many instances. What's your favourite?
Oh ya, and CHEER UP. Hope this helped bring a smile to your face!
Happy Monday,

Simple Changes Big Impact

I just wanted to show a few photos of a clients kitchen. She has been wanting window treatments for years and finally had the opportunity to make it happen. All we did was choose a paint color, fabrics and what style of window treatment she wanted. Voila, the wonderful kitchen my client has desired.

Before...

After!

Frame Of View

All windows are not created equally. Each of my projects currently, are window treatments, all for different rooms of the house as well as an office.

What do windows have to offer? A beautiful view of the snow top mountains you do not want to cover or the trash your neighbor refuses to pick up, so why not just hide it.

Maybe there are parts of a window you want to emphasize, such as intricate moldings or the smooth curves of an arch? Possibly you need to hide the heat and glare of the afternoon sun?

Often times a window is not large enough for the space, an illusion can be created with fabric placement. Extend the panels on each side of the window and wall to create the look of a wider window. Raising the panels higher, just under the ceiling creates height to an unusually
low window.

What is they style of the room: Traditional and formal with tapestries and silk brocades, Contemporary and modern with clean bold lines and geometrics, or Eclectic where anything goes.

Window treatments can be jewelry to help accessorize the room. Beads are not only worn around your neck. Applied to the leading edge of a simple pinch pleated panel adds a little extra charm.

A roman shade in a bold stripe or leopard print can pull the color scheme and pattern together to complete the area. Or your window can be the focal point of a space.

Panels may even define a space, such as another room or a sitting area.

If you are looking for beauty, privacy, shade, security or structure to add your home, window treatments are an easy way to accomplish just that.
