I realized that my above drawing of the window treatment looks like a yellow ribbon - obviously I didn't win it for any artistic ability. LOL

Here it is again - more to scale. :)

And a rendering of what I am looking for.

Gosh, NHB, I haven't seen the other thread but I have to agree with the consensus of the board. Your room doesn't need drapes & I am a drapery/fabric person!!

It is beautiful AS IS!!

Actually, I thought when I saw your rendering, how in the world did she do that & get it on the computer!!! I am impressed by your artistic ability:)

Smiles:)

Thank you once again for the complement, johnatemp.

I didn't intend to start another thread about if I should use a treatment. The other was long enough, and I hesitated to ask this question on the other thread.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I looked on the JCPenney website and others, but have not come up with the treatments. I can't even find a real life example, although I know they exist. I just want to try the treatment. I may not like the way they look in my room, but at list I want to try. :)

PS - They will undoubtedly look better than my rendering.

NHB, Can't quite picture what you're looking for. Will a scarf draped over a round holdback (2 scarves, 1 on each side, rather than 1 going across the window) work? Or you could just buy the house if the window treatments are included LOL! Did you like the house, or was it too dark?

newhomebuilder, I would be shocked to find something as unique as you've shown in a ready-made department. If you are interested I'd call your local home decor shop. They'll have all kinds of ideas and pictures. I've seen the style you are talking about, they are sometimes put between tall windows that have little wall space in between each window. Your home is quite lovely.
Of course I make custom window treatments, so I am biased!! If I had some online pictures of a similar treatment I would post. I'll try to find one.

ajsmama - I know what you are describing, but that's not the look I am going for. The treatment was very formal and full.

Take a look at my original thread to hear about "the" house. See link below.

sallymo - That's what I am looking for. The medallion is made of fabric to match (or coordinate) with the length of fabric. I assumed that they would be custom order, but just wanted to make sure. I thought about buying the fabric curtain panels - that I was originally looking at - and buying an extra panel to make the medallions. I sew too! However, I hated to waste material that I would not be able to take back, should I hate the look. That's why I was hoping to try a pre-made treatment.

I guess I need to go look at Hancock Fabrics for a pattern.

I did not make these but I think this is similar to what you are talking about.
Personally, I think panels would work, but not these. You don't need a decorative rod, but the fabric would soften all the wood in the room. I just saw some wonderful panels on a "hidden" rod (the little white oval rodding), the drapery hooks were lower in the pleat and allowed the top to hide the rod, and there was a panel on each side with not rod showing in the middle.
I'm just afraid the proportions on the medallion panels will not work. But, that's my humble opinion.

I think I know what you are looking for and I wish I had a picture. In college I was a nanny for a family with this look in their dining room. I was fortunate enough to watch the custom drapes installed. I knew how to sew at an early age & that was the start of my fascination with how easy it is to make fabulous window treatments. I have since made all of mine. Anyways back to yours and how they achieved this look. I will describe it, though hard to imagine without a photo. They used nice material, lined. They started with very simple panels, finished seams and lined. The top of each panel had a drawstring pulled through a top turned hem. They just attached a small scrap wood square to the wall to each sides of the window where each "medallion" would go(one at the top of where each panel would start). They pulled the draw string very tightly, into a small circle, this pulled the panel in at the top and gathered beautifully and hung full towards the floor. The drawstring was wrapped and knotted tightly around the piece of wood to attach the panel to the wall beside the window. They made a "medallion" almost flower like piece that was wrapped around itself (more than just a knot). It was either just glue gunned or/and staple gunned over the top part on the panel. This covered the drawstring gathered part of the panel and block of wood. I remember watching them do the flower like "medallion" knot piece. As they had to come back as my boss thougt the first ones were too small (and they were). They started with a finished almost long scarf like piece. Sewed right sides together and seams inside when finished. They kind of wrapped and twisted it into like a large knot, flower like piece. You could probably do different things, but it did look beautiful. I have since been the one to stand on chairs in model homes to see how drapes are attached and made. Always amazes me how the most devine, rich looking drapes are hung on plain wood blocks & boards as well has held together with glue and staples. I hope you are able to achieve what you are looking for & I would play with some ready made panels or cheap material to see what you like!

sallymo - No, I am not crazy about that look. I want the medallions made out of fabric, like mommy shows.

mommyto4boys - Thank you so much for those directions! The panels I was thinking of using (shown on my other thread) are lined and rich looking. It never occurred to me to "test" the medallion with some inexpensive fabric. Then if I like the look, I can buy another matching panel of the expensive curtain panel. If I don;t like the look, then the two curtain panels go back to the store.
