ROMAN SHADES FOR A TRADITIONAL HOME

So this was fun! These homeowners needed some functional window treatments for a kitchen with blinding afternoon sun and powder bath window needing privacy.  Using  traditional favorites and some "Pinspiration" we came up with two beautiful roman shades


Classic toile in a simple flat roman shade. I found a new mounting/lift system that is just the bomb! It's a little pricier than the traditional cord lock method but a continuous chain is safer for kids and the streamlined headrail is great for an inside mount application.


Most relaxed roman shades are recommended for show only. The ones you see in magazines always look perfect but in reality they will probably need to be "fixed" every time you raise them. To get the look she wanted and low maintenance function, the lower three pleats are permanent and a weight bar helps them raise neatly.  

Here's the inspiration photo for this curtain:



A little sink skirt was the perfect finishing touch for this charming little bath.
