Window Treatment Solution

Recently, I had the privilege of making several window treatments for my friend, Lisa. 
Lisa has a beautiful home with amazing wood details like oak floors, exceptional wood trim and stained kitchen cabinets. Lisa will be the first to admit there is a LOT of brown in her home.  She asked me to help bring in some additional color through fabrics in the form of new window treatments!
Needing to dress a pair of large windows flanking the fireplace in her family room, one fairly large kitchen window and a pair of french doors leading out to her back patio we came up with three different window treatments that all flow together.

Lisa fell in love with a floral fabric we had used previously in her powder bathroom.  Even though it's main color is brown, this floral brings in red, gold, green, and touch of blue.  From there we added this stunning large check, a teeny-tiny red plaid  and another brown and red floral. Later, we added this gorgeous green silk.(Seen here on the back of the pillow.) 

We treated the french door with roman shades made from the tiny red plaid.  I then made scalloped valances from our floral fabric, trimming them with a fun ribbon fringe. 

The kitchen window is framed by beautiful woodwork.  We hung a cafe curtain from a twisted black iron rod to add softness without hiding the wood trim.

The sweet detail on the cafe curtain is a 1" ruffle made from the large plaid fabric.  If you look close, you can see I lined the upper portion of the curtain with the tiny red plaid.  

The second floral is an upholstery weight fabric which we used on the pillow as well as a cushion for her fireplace.

I used the apple green silk to make a tiny piping across the top of simple floor length panels for the family room.  We then hung the panels from over sized rods and rings in a burnished gold finish. 

When hung, the panels puddle slightly on her beautiful wood floors.  You can see how these window treatments add that much needed color and softness to her family room.

Now, we're off the tackle the dining room! I wonder where the color wheel will lead us next? I'm thinking anywhere but brown!

Wishing you all a

Colorfully Blessed Day!
