I love this look.
It makes me think if my old house
in Miami Beach. Those high ceilings
and wonderful arched windows.
Built in 1920 the house had huge thick walls.
I had never seen construction like that.
I was from Texas.
Some reds I can't take. My favorite red,
is in the dark brick red family. It's a hard color.
I am crazy for this look. It's so clean looking.
I feel I have been in this room before.
When I purchased a house on Hibiscus Island.
The first thing I did was rip those blue drapes
down. Gave them to Salvation Army.
The dining room was narrow,
the drapes were at the end of room,
besides the side wall was mirriored.
That's not the best place to mirror.
You see everyones bad manners.
That dark blue made the room
have a tunnel effect.
In fact this swag is just what I had.
This is a beautiful bedroom.
Yellows are tricky.
It's all in getting the right hue.
Whats your opion on the drapes?
The cornice it's self is nice.
This curve and the detail is so pretty.

Dear Yvonne,
I think that I've had most of those window treatments over the years !!....but, I do love the plantation shutters that we have at the moment. Our daughter has just had plantation shutters fitted in her home too. We LOVE them !
Many, many thanks for your kind birthday wishes....you are a lovely blogging friend. XXXX
Love all these elegant surroundings and know that in one of my parallel lives I am enjoying them.
I like arched windows, shutters, and an overall light color (off-white, cream) as in your photo of the kitchen.
The drapes displayed in your pictures are very elegant and add enormous chic to a room.
Personally, however, I prefer the practical to the elegant.
I like simple...love windows with lots of light...
Those are beautiful windows and fanciful treatments. They look fabulous for sure!
I love curtains! They add such architectural interest to a room.
And the last photo is my favourite!
