I do in few rooms because I make all of my own WTs and it's an inexpensive way to get a different look between spring/summer and fall winter.

My office/sewing room for spring/summer.

Fall/winter

Pics were taken before I had the $25 CL secretary top for the desk in the corner...

Ok, those of you who *aren't* talented seamstresses LOL??

my3dogs, I noticed not only did you change the WTs, you changed the red transferware out, and the shades on your small double lamp. Was that seasonal, or was it just time for a (nonseasonal) change? I have to tell you again how perfect that "hutch" looks on top of your desk!

I don't have many window coverings at all, because of our overhangs that keep the sun out and because we have enough land around us so that privacy isn't an issue. But, if I lived in the suburbs I probably wouldn't change them with the seasons, just because of the storage factor. Finding safe places to store drapes away for half the year seems like a waste of space to me . . . but then again, most of you probably aren't packrats like I am and have plenty of empty storage spots ;^D

The other little changes you noticed were made when I switched to the spring/summer panels, just to freshen the place up a bit.

I'm still pinching myself to make sure I'm not dreaming about the top for the desk. I'll never get another CL bargain THAT great!

I don't change the drapes in the rest of the house, but I do in the master bedroom since I change the bedding there seasonally. One set of bedding has matching drapes and the other two sets of bedding have a set of curtains that go with both of them. I don't have the storage room or energy to do more than that!

Er, um, I tend to change window treatments with the decades.

okmoreh, that sounds like me! Actually, it took me about a decade to put valances up in my old house. I put lace sheers with heavy lined pleated drapes in DR when I bought new furniture so sun wouldn't fade it (I don't know why there was a slider in the DR anyway) and to block the draft - would open them to let lace show in spring/fall.

The rest of the house either had no WTs or we left the late-80's cellular (BRs) and mini-blinds (baths) from PO. I took down the rotted old sheers and flat rods from the French doors in the FR and had film installed on them and skylights after we'd been in the house a couple of years. I did add valances over the blinds in kids' rooms when I decorated the nurseries (DS stayed in his for 8 yrs, DD went in what used to be guest room), and to the master bath when we reno'd it. But we never put anything over the blind in MBR, in loft (even when we turned it into guest BR and neighbors added a light on their garage that burned all night - we didn't have guests that often).

I finally added valances to the double window in the kitchen and to the 2 windows in the LR just b4 putting the house on the market - also bought 2 end tables for FR since it looked a little bare with just a sofa (and toys all packed away LOL!).

If I sewed and was 25 years younger, perhaps, I would. However, at my age I find ivory antique silk drapery fabric throughout the house to be the best investment I ever made.

With the assistance of my dryer, my trusty gardener, in 2-3 days, we can fluff all the drapes, clean all the windows and be ready for the new season with cleanish drapes, new pansies and composted begonias.

I like to do it for the holidays, between Hallowe'en and Thanksgiving; then we repeat this around Easter, so we can bring out the spring decor, wash up the silk roses and put out the real ferns on the patio and put in bedding plants.

As an aside, I close the slats on the shutters for night and open for day. Does that count as a new window treatment? Smile. It's a beautiful day in most parts of the country.

I've never changed mine with the seasons. In our new house, we splurged & bought plantation shutters for all rooms except the laundry room & bathroom. In those rooms I used wide blinds with the wide decorative tape. We just had these installed in Dec. but I haven't felt the need to change anything seasonally. I don't think we could afford it anyway, LOL! In fact, that's one of the reasons I went with the very neutral plantation shutters. I can't see myself spending the money to update these every couple of years because they're outdated. And I can't imagine having to take all my WT down seasonally & store them.

I have a hard enough time coming up with the money and time for one set for each room. I tend to change things up a bit about every 3 - 5 years. No plan, just when things start to bug me or I get an inspiration from somewhere out of the blue.

I am fascinated with the way My3Dogs changes up here decor with the seasons. I would like to do this on a smaller scale, like changing out pillows and floral arrangements.

Now that my parent's are in their 80s I wash theirs with the seasons. The sheers anyway, one at a time, with the header wrapped a particular way, in the washer. That usually takes two days on its own. The drapery gets vacuumed. I am finally replacing the two front bedrooms' (after 20 years, the *newest treatments) because of deterioration. My mother did change the treatments seasonally in their room when they had drapes and a bedspread that weighed a ton.

I also change WTs with the seasons. I change the bedding
and decor also. My mom who is 90 always did it so I guess
I just followed her lead. We leave in the NE where there is a definite change in the seasons which I think is a factor also.
