Window Treatments for Caroline's Room...Styles, Fabrics, Trims...

I am currently working with my friend Andrea Mediate, with local business, Curtains Up, to make custom window treatments for my daughter, Caroline's room...She has done custom work for many friends throughout our community, and she is known for her beautiful work!  My head is spinning with so many fabric and style options!!  I am considering either a faux roman shade or a simple box pleat valance.

Here is a shot of her painted room w coral/pink wide stripes, kelly greens and blues....

  3. Oh, the joys (and challenges!) of decorating a child's room! I love that you're collaborating with Andrea – her work is truly stunning. Both a faux roman shade and a box pleat valance sound like lovely options. Maybe share some fabric swatches in another post? We can all help Caroline pick her dream curtains!" (Include an image of fabric swatches or examples of both styles)

  4. Collaborating with my talented friend Andrea Mediate from Curtains Up for custom window treatments in my daughter Caroline's room. Andrea's reputation for beautiful work precedes her, and the fabric/style options are making my head spin! Leaning towards a Faux Silk Curtains or a sleek box pleat valance. Exciting decisions ahead!
