Modern homes often have many small windows that most homeowners leave empty. By adding a simple balloon shade to these foyer windows, these niches draw the eye and provide a great place to display the owner's collectibles

The balloon valances, pale peach and gold empire striped silk, crown this card room. The Hooker card table with the custom, felt top actually flips over to make a lovely octagon table for intimate dinner parties.

While the client's choice of fabrics is more traditional, it is an edited and updated traditional, in current colors, with a lot of simplicity, combined with more detail at the custom window treatments. Not seen here are the room darkening roller shades behind the balloon shade, so the client does not have to raise and lower it daily. Moving a balloon shade always requires some hands on "dressing" of the shade. The room included paint color selection, hanging some art, and designing and installing the balloon and roller shades.

This was a treatment repurposed from the clients old home. I was able to secure more fabric to add width to the gathered balloon shade. It was shirred on a board to go over the tub. The valance and drapery panels on the left side window was the treatment from the old home's master bedroom. The treatments fit perfectly into the new home.
