Boring Window Treatments?...Not Here!

 When I shop for fabrics I am always drawn to
patterns and textures.
I walk through the fabric store with my
hand out...touching the fabrics as I walk by!
(Tell me I'm not alone in this!)
 Oh, well!  To me, what the fabric feels like
makes a difference in whether I want to use it or not!
I love mixing different patterned fabrics
together...
Especially on window treatments!
 
Mixing fabrics that at first
glance you wouldn't think of putting together. 
But thinking outside the box gives you an end result
that is unique, original and very appealing!
 
(Floral fabric is now discontinued.) 
This bathroom window treatment
 is just plain fun!
And very unexpected! 
At least I think so...they make me
smile every morning!!!
Here's a sneak peak of a few of the many
window treatments I hope to show
you in the near future!




To those of you who may be stuck
in a "beige world" I hope this encourages you
to step into the world of color!

Have a truly Blessed Day!

    In case you weren't aware-- your oldest, less than capable of sewing, daughter is getting married in a year and will need a notebook full of window treatment, pillow & bed spread ideas soon. Just FYI.

    Love you!

    Hi Sonya! Just found your blog through Kim at Cheap Chic Home. I'm a toucher, too! Sometimes I am surprised that a fabric feels different than I'm thinking it would feel, so I think touching/feeling it is a good idea. Love those bathroom window treatments. I like things like that myself ~ something a little different, unique and whimsical!

    Ohhh~do you do pillows, too? The window treatments are so individual and so fun! I can dither for hours over what coordinates with what, so I'm impressed with what you've done.

    I am in love with these fun and colorful window treatments. I am a new follower and I love your blog and all your ideas. I am wondering how close you live to me. I live in the Texas Panhandle area. My daughter just bought her first house and could use some great window treatment ideas.

    Also, I looked at your neutral bedroom vs colorful bedrooms and I know that clean neutral color schemes seem to be the thing right now but I wonder what you would do with all your color? I feel a little trapped in my color and can't find a way to bring in the neutral scheme without completely starting over and I can't afford to do that. Plus I think I would keep trying to put the color back in.

    Oh yeah, I touch everything too and smell all candles.

    These are all great treatments.

    The fabric for the panels in your first picture happens to be my very favorite, and might I add DISCONTINUED fabric. I was wondering if there was any chance you might have found it recently somewhere and could clue me in?

    I've saved all that I have (about 16 yards), afraid to cut it until I find another 8 yards.

    I used it as panels for the living room in my previous house, and now in my foyer here at the new one. I love, love, love it.
