Finishing touches

I have a couple of photo shoots at my house coming up at the end of the month so I'm finishing things up around here and you'll finally get to see full shots of the house (rather than all my close ups)!  I had these palmets and drapes installed right before I had Penn and they have made such a difference in the living and dining rooms.  It was the perfect way to cover up our blinds (since we're renting) and to add some dimension and texture to the space. The drapes are not functional so I saved alot of money by only doing 1 width of fabric per panel.  And they are neutral enough that they will work in our next place... you know coral is considered neutral to me, right? 


The drapery fabric is Pindler & Pindler 2284 Belfast- White and the piping/banding is Pindler & Pindler 3457 Cole- Watermelon.

    the navy and coral is such a great "neutral" combo!! Who said neutral had to be browns and creams??
