At The Window No. 11 - Corner Window

It is the escape discovered. There are corners in our home that aren't meant to just have a tree stuck into it. Be inspired to reconsider a corner of a room. For in this corner one can find a longed for escape. An escape where our morning cup of coffee calls for a linger. Where our end of day glass of wine is enjoyed a little bit more. And the pages of our current read become an even more intriguing journey.

Yes, the furnishings we select for this coveted corner are important, so is how the windows are dressed. How we respect the light flowing into this corner and the privacy needed to tuck us away in our escape.

For me it is the classic stationary panels that keep the corner windows uncluttered. Honoring the getaway a corner offers it's guest. Narrow, unassuming drapery hardware is the perfect compliment to this look. And wrapping the panel around the corner softens this cozy corner.

Personalized style comes into play with these classic fabric panels with the selection of fabric and the top design. Consider a grommet top or a pencil pleat with the panel length just above the floor. A puddled look would be a bit sloppy for the corner window.

Be inspired to discover your corner escape. It's been there in your home all along... waiting.

At the Window No. 5 - Windows with Flair

If you are a frequent reader of my blog, you know my thoughts on window treatments. (see Rethinking the Look of Things No. 2 - Window Treatments http://willowbeeinspired.blogspot.com/2011/05/rethinking-look-of-things-no-3-window.html)

So I am always delighted to come across window treatments that show distinct inspiration.

If you need to do stationary panels - don't forget the bells and whistles. Otherwise they are just "run of the mill-looking" package draperies.

Loving the contrast velvet banding and tabs on this treatment and how the fabric selections provide a neutral, yet no boring backdrop to the contemporary artwork.

All I can say is...white done right.

Gawking. Literally. 

Perfect treatment design, just enough trim embellishment, fabulous texture, and wonderful color.

One can never go wrong with a classic done right.
