I think the height of the rods is fine. I do like the wider width of the drapery behind the headboard, don't you? One thing you need to do is take the last ring on the outside of each drapery panel and hang it to the other side of the support bracket on the ends. The drapery will hang better and will also hide and bridge the brackets on the ends, rather than draw attention to the supports by stopping inside of them.

Things are really shaping up nicely. I am not sure that you need the euroshams on the bed - I think the contrast of the headboard against the light drapery is nice, and will perhaps be lost once the euroshams are there. I would also look for a warmer color lampshade for the bedside lamp, perhaps with some trim that you add to pull the red and gold onto the shade.

Since you can sew, I would think about slipcovering the cedar chest with a pretty upholstery fabric that contains the colors of both sets of bedding, and goes to the floor. If you add padding on top under the slipcover, it will look like a great bench and also eliminate a bit of the wood in the room.

Great job!

Looks very beautiful! Since you asked about them: I know it's popular now to hang the drapes way above the window, but like you I prefer a lower position, either in line with the top trim or just above it. The gap between the top of the window and the rod bothers me, especially when the drapes are open and you can see the shades. I have similar rods here, but they're a bit smaller in scale. I like the drapes you have with that type of rod. And the bedding is lovely!

I love windows, the height and how you made them wider, looks great. I also agee with changing the look of the cedar chest to match the rest of the wood. Really nice job.

Beautiful, beautiful job, Les! I would not change a thing and I think the height of the rods is perfect!!!!

I didn't follow your previous thread, but everything looks great! Love the new window treatments : ) What a difference.

Beautiful!

I was so excited to come to the computer this morning and see all of the kind words!!
Les, you were such an inspiration. I am STILL having a hard time with the height of the rods. I have never had any that high before. But I am going to leave them. I absolutely love the white shade on the bedside table. It is a beautiful silk, but I know it is too white for the room. I am going to work on the cedar chest as well, but at least I have a great start. The width of the drapes behind the bed made a big, big difference.

no-green-thumb,

Can't comment on the rods/drapery because I come here to this forum to learn about that stuff myself -- no Deco DNA in me, at all.

What I DO see is a wonderful, relaxing, calm room with lovely coordinating things (things I'd love to have myself!) like the round iron piece and coordinating rods.
Wonderful transformation!

Thanks, Amity. The rods were a complete accident. I had the ironwork already. I bought the rods and originally had planned to use the finials that I already had, until I looked at them and saw that they had the same exact scroll as the ironwork. Quite the fluke!!
I know what you mean about no Deco DNA. I have none and sometimes feel very guilty because I ask a lot more questions than I give answers.
But I am learning. One of the main things that has helped "beautify" my home is paint. I have stained woodwork and love it. But, I had a few rooms where the paint I had was fighting the woodwork. I repainted my kitchen last summer. What a difference from the terracotta to the sagey green.
The people here are so wonderful. I do not even know how I found this forum, but I try to read it every day and every day I learn something!
