I wanted to make really thick (bump) lined Roman Blinds for her but needed it done yesterday, so with that time frame I had to use a thinner interlining. Oh well, they still look cute and offer a little more protection then the roll up and vertical blinds that were there.
I Took "before" photos too but I'm not a very good photographer so they turned out looking BAD :-( ahhhhh I need assistance in that area.
But I took a "before" of another window to give you an idea of how bland these types of shade are, I know we live with them because they are easy and cheap, but isn't it time to bring some colour into your lives?
Before (kind of)...
And the after...
I wanted to trim the bottom, I LOVE bobble fringe on the bottom of blinds.
but I didn't want to take away from this lovely Heather Bailey fabric so I chose a subtle velvet lace trim instead.
One of my favorite things is the coronet (tent) above the bed, I used a shear that I had used for another window in my last house, it doesn't really fit but it works. I had hand smocked the heading to make a little unusual. I love this effect on pillows too. I will post a tutorial one of these days on how to do it.
A close up view of the smocking...
Well I hope you enjoy the pics as much as Ella has her new blinds.
