Window Treatment Ideas

RE: Window Treatment Ideas Post By castleberrycc (Guest Post) (03/01/2008) I had the same problem. I took traverse and ran in across both windows and a corner and hung drapes across the windows and walls in between. Hope this helps.

This you can accomplish by using those plastic hook's that stick to the window and are clear, or use the white ones that you peel off the back put on the surface and usually leave them set overnight. You can let the panels on the end's of the window hang or use tie backs on them also. Now if you do not have tie back's with your drapes and want to use them go to your craft shop or fabric shop and buy some fancy ribbon to go with the drapes or bead's there are so many things out there to make something to tie back your drapes you should have a good time! I am in the process of for my breakfast nook buying some cafe curtain's I have beautiful window's that almost go to the floor and buying drapes as you know is not cheap. I found some on sale I wanted lined for the sun coming in the window in the summer, as it is at it's hottest point of the day and also because are winter's are no picnic. Also I would like a little more privacy. So what I am going to do is buy tier's for in the middle of the window (going width wise) that way I will have some privacy,warmth,protection for my dining set. And I think it will look fantastic. You could do something like that also. But since the nook is in my kitchen the sheers just do not give me the look I want. Do you sew? You could make some really nice valances also. Decorating is fun once you get a idea the rest of the idea's follow. Also there are so many magazines out there to give you ideas check out a few.

All I have had to do is occassionally resew the rings to the shades and I replaced the cords once. I love keeping them raised during the day to enjoy the beautiful view.

I think it's called "Artscape Window Covering". It lets light in but you can't see through it. It comes in rolls so you can cut it to size and it clings without adhesive so it's easy to remove. It comes in clear, colors, and prints. I've seen one with a small bamboo print and one in a beige rice paper, they sound like they would go well with your colors. It even has a UV filter. You can get it in places like Home Depot and Loews. To make the windows look more even, put a large tree-like plant or some kind of chest/dresser in front of the shorter one. Hope this helps, hope you'll be happy in your new home!

I have that up now and I am wanting a new look, and I thought someone out there could give me some good ideas. I was thinking of some type of blinds, but any ideas you all can tell me about will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help you may give me. Teresa from Va. Answers: RE: Window Treatment Ideas We just bought a house with a bay window in front. The curtains that were left weren't in good shape, so we took them down and 3 custom wooden blinds. Before the curtains covered all of the woodwork in the window frames. The blinds bring it out and it looks very nice. (11/30/2005) By kansaskrew Report Spam or Abuse
