    find a good custom person... they can sew you whatever you'd like. i'd ask at your local fabric store... not a joannes, a stand alone not chain fabric store.

    Hopefully, no one will assist you in this folly.

    Sorry to say I do not like these at all. Quite a dated look.

    There is a reason you can't find these anymore. I think having these made would be a very expensive mistake.

    Your picture is from a Romanian website, so a custom manufacture is likely the only way you can have this look. http://ideiamenajari.ro/idei-fabuloase-14-modele-de-draperii-pentru-living-si-dormitor/

    Yuck all that stuff to catch dust and IMO way too formal for any space I know

    Save a LOT of money. Don't copy that. Please. Really. Not unless there is a drawbridge and moat surrounding your home, and footmen to walk your dog........: )

    You can find that by using a time machine to go back to South Philly in the '80s.

    Well said nnigrt. Different strokes for different folks. Not everyone wants grey walls and white kitchens with subway tile back splashes. I hope the OP finds what she wants for her individual space.

    She didn't ask for opinions - let her like what she likes.

    Like nnigrt said, if you're willing to spend the money, take this pic to a local seamstress who can pull together the fabric for you. If you can't find one, I'm sure there's someone on etsy who would sew it for you. A warning though: the price tag might make you opt for a more minimalist approach.

    My impression is that the center front part is painted hardboard of some kind and the swags behind it are fabric over embroidered sheers. All except possibly the sheers hung on tabs (very unusual with such a formal design.) We don't even know if this is for a home or a theatrical project. It is very dramatic - everyone agreed?

    very dramatic.... it wouldnt be suitable for my home but neither are a lot of very popular looks.

    Idell,

    I would do a search on Houzz under Find a Pro "Window Treatments" in your area. I would then look for a smaller local company versus a bigger chain company to help you create a unique look for you. Typically , a local workroom creates and fabricates more unique designs.

    So much of Houzz is about trying to keep people from making expensive mistakes. No we don't all have the same tastes. People often post dilemmas that have nothing to do with what's really wrong. Because they don't know. It is right to tell them. They can pay attention or not.

    When a friend asks you if the dress she's going to buy is awful you tell her yes before she buys it. Not just play along and then she's stuck with a bad dress and a big bill.

    Looks like Idell, made her post a final curtain call.

    @idell, As some people mentioned this could be expensive to recreate by a seamstress, but Touch of Class catalog may have some waterfall drapes you may like that you could work around? Then have a local carpenter make the wood valance.

    It is just a window covering. It can be removed at a moment's notice. If she wants it and likes it, who cares? Would I have it in my house? No and it would have given my MIL LOTS of ammunition for even more rude comments. But, nnigrt is right. Who are we to judge?

    The op didn't ask anyone what they thought of it, though...

    It's definitely custom, op. The swags and drapes are can be done for less to give you the same "idea", but the other part I can't see how it attaches. An upholsterer may be able to give you ideas on how to recreate this part of the look.

    Go to Las Vegas. I'm sorry, but I prefer simple at the window and seeing nature outside. This is way overdone.

  • 9 years ago

    I'm beginning to feel this is a hoax. Anyone else?

  • 9 years ago
    No, I think the OP had a legitimate question and was scared off by the snarky comments.
