Gorgeous Glass

Stained glass is beautiful, but etched glass is smart!  If you’re looking to maintain a discreet level of privacy, but ditch your curtains or shades, etched glass is a fabulous alternative.  I love this Pinterest user’s design, which allows light to shine through without anyone peeking in!

Design is a balance of function and beauty.  I love the idea of adding bookshelves under windows to create the perfect reading room!  Just the right amount of light filters through with woven shades, for a cozy and personal feel.

Give your room a fresh, sophisticated makeover simply by changing your window treatments!  Roman shades are inconspicuous behind these crisp drapes.  When composing structured window treatments, attention to hardware and hemlines is key!

This nail head cornice board is divine!  I love it pared with the coordinating roman shades.  A valance is a smart way to pull together your design without going over the top.
