Latest project - bay window sill
Comments (31)Thanks again I found them (low stock) by searching for the item number off the old order form. JCP's "window Designer" is saying for window over 100" need two 216" long scarves, shows them overlapping over center window so tails hang down in between? Think I should order the same striped fabric and do scarves (I need to find/make medallions!) over all three "windows" in the room (bay, double window and slider), with the slider one hung at the same height as the others? Since this is FR (casual) should I look for old doorknobs (love that look), so should I just try to find plain medallions in satin nickel to match light fixture and my "cheap cleats" (drawer knob on a hanger bolt)? See the pic of the slider for finish on the knob. I also have 6 birdcage holdbacks that are kind of "U" shaped that I don't think I'll use in LR - so I can do the bay and the window with those, and slider with a matching (extra) rod if you think that will work. It would mean 1 big swag over the double window though - these have been discontinued too (at least I couldn't find them in the store again, and I never saw them online). Does anybody kno how you hang a swag from a "U" shaped holdback without the screws showing? Here is a link that might be useful: U shaped holdback...See MoreWoven Wood Shades for Kitchen? (PICS)
Comments (19)I just reread the original post. You may want to see an actual shade with the type of wood you are considering. Depending on the thickness and how they rise, they will hang differently. Notice lkplatow's stack behind the hanging shade. Because my HD's have the privacy liner, the stacking depth is thicker and they do NOT look like a valance at the top when they are fully raised. Also, I chose a sort of round wood, not flat so it is thicker. If you notice in most catalogs and magazines, they show woven woods lowered half way down the window. They usually don't show them all the way up b/c they don't look that great. Also, if you mount them 6" above the window, because of the way they stack, when you raise them they might get caught on the top molding....See MoreFavorite DIY roman shade (real/faux) tutorial?
Comments (10)Just to throw a monkey wrench in the system before you start sewing : ) , take a look at NikkiDesigns, http://nikkidesigns.ca. I found her shop on Etsy, but she also has a website. She is reasonably priced anyway, you get 10 percent off for subscribing to the newsletter, and because she's in Canada, if you're in the U.S. you get the benefit of the weak Canadian dollar. Also free shipping over $300 if I recall correctly. She has Best of Houzz badges for 2016 and 2015, too....See MoreQuestion on Hunter Douglas Vignette modern roman shades
Comments (5)If you go to the Hunter Douglas web site you can find info. The wider the blind, the more problems you will have winding it up. Some blinds have batteries in the head rail. May be a pain to replace. You could use a power supply with a transformer - but you will need an outlet. Vignette - Hunter Douglas Web Site...See Morepippiep
