There is a lot of work done here that we never get to see after it leaves the workroom. I was dying to see the opera shade featured last week and was thrilled that the timing worked out and I was able to get to the installation.
As a bonus, I got to see on-site the many other projects we've done for this home over the past few years. I wish my photo of these gathered swags and jabots looked as good as they do in reality in the master bedroom.
For some reason, I don't seem to have a workroom shot of these treatments. Single swags covered the small windows flanking the bed.
I do have a workroom shot of these silk balloon shades- the detailing is discussed in this blog post from April 15, 2010- can't believe it was so long ago!
And now I have an after shot, too. That's one fancy master bathroom!
A few years ago we made medallion swags for a different room, and this past winter the designer had us re-cut them for the narrow windows on the wall leading outdoors.
Here is how it looked in the workrooom in this post on March 11....
And a few weeks later we made pillows out of the scraps. I love this fabric and was happy that it wasn't wasted.
One of my favorite treatments is also the simplest: a totally flat panel, on a board, to showcase the amazing Jeanne d'Arc toile print on a fine cotton sheer. It provides just enough privacy for a downstairs powder room facing the back garden.
Here's how it looked in the workroom, on March 9.
One of the coolest fabrics ever!.........
