Yesterday I finished my first project for the new house. I made the roman shades for our living room windows. I love the way they turned out. I used the
tutorial from Jen's What's New blog. The tutorial was wonderful, the only thing I would add to it would be some information on spacing for longer blinds (the tutorial was for much shorter blinds than I was doing). I ended up getting the spacing too close at the top- 3"- and it bunches a little funny. If I make them in the future I will probably keep it at least 4" apart.
The project all laid out- sewing the rings on the back.
The middle blind pulled up, you can kind of see the trim I put at the bottom.
All three blinds pulled up.
Two down, one up- you can really see the fabric here. I was dying to go with a more floral design, but we decided on something less girly (husband's words, not mine). I love the circles and I love all the maroons, greens and golds I can pull out of it to decorate with. I even have a bunch of fabric left over to make pillows with.
A close up of the detail. We think we will eventually make a valance to go over top, but that wont be right away. Off to do some yoga now!
All three blinds pulled up.
Bravo! They look awesome! I always heard Roman Blinds were hard to make... were they difficult?
ReplyDeleteLook great! I can't wait to visit and see the new place
ReplyDeleteWow, these look great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great share from your side. I enjoyed reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteThe stunningly beautiful prints, colours and the fabric material of one such kitchen Roman blinds that I bought online from a designer home furnishing store in London was of premium quality and that made the difference to the overall aesthetics and ergonomics of my kitchen area which now represents a much more refined, soothing and refreshing look through this beautiful custom Roman blind.
