Faux roman shade over wood blinds?
Comments (6)Just this past winter we replaced our full Roman shades with Roman shade valances. I don't have them over blinds but do have them over shades in our family room. The shades are always up, and are mainly used for daytime tv watching when necessary. We also made Roman shade valances for our LR & DR for the windows, and on top of that -- festoon and jabots. Sounds over the top, but really looks nice. I'll get you a pic of the den windows. Do you always keep the blinds down in the kitchen, or just at night?...See MoreTo ADD or NOT TO ADD? That is the question.
Comments (38)This rug might Not have too many contrasting neutrals, too many busy shapes. :) Nothing wrong with your rug... with this you wouldn't need as much look in the pillows / just what you want.

Comments (36)Lovely kitchen! I like the idea of valance so you could hang it higher than the window and not block too much light. However, it looks like it might be a tight fit on the right window. I'm sure a pro could figure out a way to make it work. I also like the faux roman shade as long as you are ok with it covering the top half of the window. I feel like the kitchen could some some wood or ceramic elements. Perhaps wood stools over the chrome. The pendants are traditional, but the stools are more modern. However, you mentioned children so perhaps the stools are such for their benefit/stability. I can appreciate the uncluttered counters, but perhaps ceramic canisters in a pale accent color that you like. Wood cutting boards. Wicker basket to hold the cords and doodads to the left of the coffee pot. Wooden fruit bowl. You have so much lovely counter space, I feel like it is ok to leave some decorative(yet functional) things out....See MoreAdd some style to this window in a new kitchen remodel
Comments (14)Why? The cabinets don't even have a crown from what I can see. I think a crosshead would not fit with the existing architecture I am seeing in the photo and will look top heavy and out of place. It does not appear you have space to place a crown moulding to finish the top of cabinety so therefore a crown moulding wont work either.. A faux roman topper or an actual roman shade will bring more of a refined finish than a crosshead. It looks like you are short on ceiling height there so I would outside mount to the ceiling. If you don't like the idea of any type of window treatment just tile to the ceiling and call it a day....See Moredeegw
