Believe it or not but in the design business, there are truly high seasons when people want to make sure there homes are in "Posh Notch" condition for the holidays. We are embarking upon that season. Towards the end of the summer and right before the holidays, designers get pretty busy, at least I do. I am starting on a couple of simple projects. One of the small projects is adding window treatments to a client's family room and helping her select a few accessories to give the room a finished look.
Here's what I have known but encountered again. Men just don't get the whole window treatment thing. They can't believe the cost of fabric per yard and the cost of dressing a window. When I explained to the husband of my client that custom window treatments are like purchasing a custom made suit for a guy, he got that concept. The suit is made just for him and the window dressings are made to fit your window like no other curtain on a rack. If you want a posh, custom look, you have to pay for it.
Have you taken the plunge and put the suit and tie on your windows or are they still undressed?
I would love to hear from you.
Until Next Time
