I have posted pictures of two projects that I installed this morning. The first picture is of a very sweet friend's family room. I made roman shades with valances for a double french door that opens to her screened in porch. The main reason for the shades is too shield the sunlight from shining on their television. She wanted something that would add color and serve a purpose. Roman shades are a great option for privacy and make a great addition to any window. They can be used alone or layered under panels or even valances. Thanks Kayce for allowing me to help you with this project and for referring me to so many of your sweet friends!
The second project is a kitchen, mudroom and family room door. My client chose a rich stripe in chocolate, avocado green, terracotta and gold that coordinated with her existing decor. We decided on a box pleated valance with tassel trim for the kitchen. In the mudroom, a roman shade with a complimenting tassel trim was installed. My client had already installed long panels that she had purchased on clearance at Pottery Barn in the family room but wanted something for the door to coordinate. She went back to Pottery Barn and purchased an additional panel so that I could make a roman shade. The fabric is a beautiful linen in a warm gold tone-it compliments the kitchen fabric perfectly.
