Roller Shades Made Pretty







Very simple, yes, but don't these dressed up roller shades add a nice finishing touch to the design? And then there is function. I can't believe how much darker the room is in the morning. Perfect for helping an active girl get a little more sleep!

Roller shades are an economical solution and do a great job of darkening a room. You have really brought these to life and I love the ric-rac that Isabella chose. Thank you for once again inspiring me Janell.

Here's to sleeping in...

It is the small details that make a room special. These are the type of things that I notice when I visit a show house.

Thanks everyone! And Kate, the drapery panels are made from a Thomas Paul fabric, Lock. I don't think it is being produced any longer...but loving some of his new styles!

I feel so inspired! I love how you have made having the bed against the window such a positive feature in the room. I'm sure this will influence the way I decorate our master bedroom, thankyou!
