After --- The afterthought window.After a careful workup of all details, this old bedroom became a gorgeous Guest suite. From the carpet to the wallpaper to the windows, all thought was given to making any and all guests of the house comfortable in this area.
The window itself played a very central role in the finish of the suite - it held a very prominent spot near the staircase. The treatment is soft and traditional, with twists; the swag shape is made from pleated yardage held up at middle by a covered button, and the jabots are generously gathered at the tops and made into small upward facing fans that mirror the main fan-shaped portion of the valance. Note the laminated roller shade, covered with the same fabric as the jabotss are made from. This window was perfect for the spot - lush yet undemanding and welcoming.

An expanse of floor and coldness..Here is a rather large Living Room that was echoing with emptiness! Not even the presence of the pretty fireplace was helpful.

Plain, cold space.This empty space was meant to be used as a Living Room. The old furnishings were cleared away, the floor was redone, walls were painted, and it became a blank slate on which to paint! ;))

|
A 'Transitional' look..This room needed to be usable by anyone who may walk in the door as a short-term tenant.
The furniture was chosen for its' simple lines and leather cover; the rugs and tabling pull everything together here to make a large space more friendly.

Accent rug and table.See how well the colors in both pieces work together.
It took 2 months to find the correct rugs for this job.

Before ---- The afterthought window..This small window is located in a lonesome and difficult spot, in a narrow hallway and tight to the ceiling line.
This attic/gable space had been made into a simple bedrrom for a juvenile years before, and had become more of an attic than anything else when the occupant left for college.
