Curtain Call! Encore

I know, I was winding this down.  But then I unearthed some tear sheets that had not yet made their way into my archival files, and I wanted to publish them.  So here are a few window treatments that deserve a look.



In this Manhattan bedroom, Jeffrey Bilhuber creates a serene space for repose. Focus, however, on the curved rod that supports the draperies.  It's a wonderfully subtle touch, but it's an important detail that contributes to the room's special feeling. (Architectural Digest; photographer unknown)


As long as we're on the subject of curves, don't you love this drapery rod that follows the curve over the doorway?  The designer (unfortunately unknown) could have just as easily used a straight rod, but this extra effort makes the room.  (House Beautiful; photographer unknown)



I've always loved the look of a deep contrasting border for drapery panels.  And I love the button detail on this one by Barbara Westbrook. (photography by Bruce Buck for Traditional Home)



In a Rosemary Beach, Florida show house, interior designer Philip Sides runs a rail around the entire room to hang his charming grommet-topped sheers. (photographed by Tria Giovan for Southern Accents)



Interior Designer Clare Fraser used a winsome tasseled fringe as the border for her Roman Shade. (photography by Tim Lee)




The answer to the questions posed at the end of my previous post are:  

  1. Carol Burnett who spoofed that famous scene from GWTW, striding forth as "Miss Starlett" 
  2. Her "gown" was designed by the master of show biz costumes, Bob Mackie.



Thanks for reading, everyone!
