Window Wednesday: An updated Tudor

A few weeks back I posted that I was at a client's house measuring for dining room window treatments, and showed part of their family room here.  I thought you'd like to see what we're considering for the drapes and roman shade.

First, here are the windows up for a new look.  Is this the most gorgeous molding ever?  The homeowner and his buddy did it themselves.  Impressive.

Now, a look at the plan I'm proposing.  The bump-out window will be dressed in a Roman shade in a flax-colored linen with a slate blue crewel pattern.  It will be "held up" by straps of a flat braid Robert Allen trim.  The crewel linen is a gorgeous-in-person Telafina fabric.  I am in love with this one, people.  I wish you could see the quality of it.  The windows will wear drapery panels, done in a blocked design of a solid flax linen on the top portion and the crewel linen as a bottom boarder, divided by the same braid, and starting at the window sill height.  (Sounds like I'm describing the red carpet, doesn't it, lol?  Well, this room deserves that kind of treatment.)  The goal is a relaxed formality, and I believe this achieves that look.

First, here on the fabrics.  I promise they are dead-on coordinated in person.  The lighting was weird today, and the colors are a bit off, but you get the idea...

Here are the sketches of what it will look like all done-up.  My scanner was cranky and low on ink, so the second image is a bit more lame than the first.  (Work with me, it's late at night as I post!)

Hmm.  These sketches don't look that great, but this is all I've got in me tonight!  The end result, though, I can't wait to show you.  Different treatments in the same room, you might be asking?  Read my thoughts about that here.

Oh, and please remember...
