Early in the morning is my favorite time of the day. This is time of the day that is just for me. I stare out my kitchen window with a cup of coffee in hand, watching the many different varieties of birds eating away at the feeder. This is the time when everyone else in the house is asleep, before the hustle and bustle of the day begins.
Today for some reason seemed unusual. As I looked through the window it seemed to be drafty and not so pleasant to look at. Noticing the fading colors of patterns and frayed edges of my curtains awakened me to make some changes. Going from room to room it dawned on me, that unfortunately, all my window treatments looked drab and worn. Being an optimist this did not get me down. In fact it gave me pleasure in imagining all the creative ideas that could become a reality.
Of all the decorating projects, changing your window treatments has to be the easiest and the most dramatic. With just some fabric hanging over the window, this controls your indoor temperature, cuts the light, maintains your privacy and brings warmth and elegance to your ordinary surroundings.
Curtains and drapes have not changed much over the years. What has changed is the variety of fabrics, colors and textures. There are so many fabrics at your fingertips, such as silk, cotton, polyester, lace, linen or velvet. There is also an abundance of backgrounds and solid colors.
