 Absolutely beautiful! April 2, 2007

I own many window treatment books, and this is one of my top favorites. It is definitely full of high-end draperies with an up-to-date look. I actually know one of the professional seamstresses and everything she does is to perfection! I bought it on the recommendation of someone else and couldn't have been happier. Lots of gorgeous fabrics dripping with the best of tassels and trims. You won't be disappointed!
Beautuful book! April 5, 2007

Really lovely examples of window treatments from various locations in the country, from the simple to the ornate. Plus, a dictionary of terms and a list of sources.

This is a fabulous book with over 150 pages of color plates showing creative variations on draperies, swags, shades, pleats, jabots, trims, hardware, and color combinations by top window treatment designers. Photographs always include both a helpful closeup of the key element as well as a full view of the treatment as part of the room's theme. It also includes a glossary of terms and an extensive resource guide at the end. It's the best book I have on current day treatments covering a variety of traditional and contemporary styles.

This was a very interesting book and was a welcome addition to my portion
of my library on interior decorating. We are in the process of looking to purchase a historic Victorian home. And in this end all tips, hints and ideas are a great asset.
lots of decorating ideas in this book September 15, 2008

The photos in the book are not just of windows----they also show the room itself, including upholstered furniture, bed treatments, walls, flooring, etc. So, it is a "decorating" book, not just a "window treatment" book. This book will be one of my favorites; I love just about all the photos. I also recommend the following two books: Diamond Baratta Design; and Great Color & Pattern Collection with Betsy Speert.
