Window on the World

Take a peek through your windows and what do you see? Carefully planned window treatments can become part of the experience.

Fun and funky meet country casual in this retro inspired window treatment. Three horizontal bands of russet, umber, and pastel green echo the more complex interweaving of color in a Moroccan area rug. Above, a "straight outta the 1960s" abstract pattern adds a dash of playfulness and an unexpected texture. Rich golden yellow, the color of the sun setting above a desert, is tied together with accents of deep green from the palm trees found just outside. Introducing a whimsical note is the needlepoint cross-stitch strip found on both sofa and curtain tieback - an almost unconscious reflection of the hot tub's diamond tile pattern.

Less is clearly more with this Zen-like arrangement. Coarse hemp tiebacks create a striking contrast to the smooth simplicity of plain, white sheers. Beyond, the natural greenery springing from a ceramic pot reminds visitors and residents of Mother Earth's ability to create small miracles in small spaces.
