Dining Room Window Treatments

I have another beautiful (if I do say so myself) window treatment to share with you today. These stunning drapes were made for the dining room of my friend, Lisa's home. 

The floor length panels were made from a deep red taffeta with alternating stripes of gold (which perfectly matched her walls) and an embroidered vine pattern in red, gold and green. These were hung from wooden rods and rings.  The cream cafe sheers were topped with a red velvet cuff and hung from a twisted metal rod with clip rings. Both the panels and sheers were hemmed to gently puddle of the floors.

The top of the panels were hung in a droop style, accented with a 1.5" red velvet ruffle and lined with gold silk. 

This is the fourth room in Lisa's home that I have been privileged to make window treatments for. By this time we had quite a collection of remnants.  I used these remnants to create a 54" x 54"  pieced tablecloth.  This can be used as shown here, as a topper on a round accent table or even draped around a tree as a tree skirt!
 
The edging is a 2" ruffle/flange combination.  The ruffles round the corners and are in the center on each side.  The rest of the edging is a straight flange.  A very sweet accent. 

I used all of Lisa's fabrics plus mixed in additional remnants to finish the tablecloth.

UPDATE: A few weeks ago I showed you this Fan Flower Valance made for Lisa's downstairs bath.  She has since painted her walls "antique earth" by Behr. It is a beautiful, warm gray-blue which is VERY hard to capture by camera!

After trying numerous other colors, which just weren't right, Lisa found the perfect solution.  Not green or gold or brown but...

"antique earth".

Lisa used Behr's one coat coverage paint with primer.  She highly recommends it.  She said it worked great when she covered her daughter's "Pepto" pink walls!
Wow! This post ended up with a little bit of everything in it! Hope you found some great inspiration!

Many Blessings,

  5. As A person that sews, you have inspired me. I would love to know how the upper backs of the drapes in the dining room were done to hang the wooden rings. I am going to make drapes for my daughter room and love how these look. Terry

  8. Hi Sweetie Pie, I was wondering what you were up to. Did you get your Xmas decor out of the boxes yet? Before I sew anymore window treatments, I'm going to come back over here and get some inspiration. I'm going to post the client I did a couple of weeks ago this weekend. I totally love your "scrap" table square and tree skirt - you know that's on my to-do list.

  11. So yummy! That chocolate brown floral is one of my all time favorite fabrics. I'm getting ready to start some 27x27 shams for my daughter for X-Mas. She choose some gorgeous farics. Should be lots of fun to make. Your work is just fabulous!

  15. I adore these curtains and the center panels with the velvet trim at top. I really like the curtain rods used for the cafe panel. Currently I've been using just spring rods till I find what I want to use permanently. Do you know where she got these?
