Window Wednesday: My Bathroom

Today, it's all about me.  I've been procrastinating doing a cornice for my first floor powder room/laundry, and there's nothing like entertaining for the holidays to light a fire under the butt!   For point of reference for style and fabric, my home is Traditional/French and English country.  I put this together between last night and today.

Here's my window before.  I have wood blinds which match the color of my pine casings (I know how jealous you all are of my wood trim LOL.  Has it become clear yet, from reading this blog, how much I hate adore wood trim??) I had a treatment there prior that was probably my all time favorite one I've done, but it no longer fit when we added blinds.  Bummer.

Wall color is BM Silver Mink, in the gray/blue family.

Anyway, I wanted something super simple as it is a very small room with the washer and dryer in the closet. (This makes for fantastic utility, by the way, especially when the entire family leaves their clothes piled in front of the closet door, making for simply excellent access to the toilet and vanity.  I  digress...)  I decided to do a cornice in a textured fabric, to give the room one surface that wasn't perfectly smooth.

Making a cornice calls for a pattern, so I made one and tested out the look...

Dig the paper for the pattern?  It's old kids' drawings on copy paper, all taped together.

When I completed the wood frame (my man cut it for me and I assembled it), I had to test it out before upholstering it.

Here is the finished treatment...

The fabric is  Kravet.  Here's a better view...

Next week, back to reader's windows.  Hope you enjoyed another peak into my always-in-progress home!


Talk to you soon,
