| fabric tie-back |
It has been snowing here today but I didn’t really notice because I was busy making tie-backs for the new curtains. I am quite pleased with the result although Paul and I did have some debate as to whether the window needs a pelmet or not. In the end we decided it would make the window look too closed in so that option is on hold for the time being.

I made the tie-backs from the co-ordinating fabric that I bought to cover the headboard. I can now choose between them and the tassel rope ones. The new bed is due to arrive on Tuesday and then it’s just a matter of waiting for the replacement wardrobe doors to be delivered.

At this rate the room might just be ready by the time Kat returns home from Cyprus next month!
Stunning material & so beautifully made. Give yourself a big pat on the back. I'm sure the room is going to have a big thumbs up when your daughter returns. thank you for sharing your photo's, have been looking forward to them so much.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a very modern design but I deliberately chose something traditional.
DeleteJust Beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThey look great.
ReplyDeleteSnow in April? That's depressing but you seem to be keeping cheerful with lots to do indoors. I love the curtains, the way you have them draped so neatly. Well done!
ReplyDeleteFrosty this morning! Thank you Chris.
DeleteLovely curtains and tie backs. Also can't help noticing that like mine your lawn is in desperate need of a drink.
ReplyDeleteThe fabric, curtains and tie backs look great. The new headboard is lovely too.
ReplyDeleteI like your aesthetic and taste in decor. I am curious as to what pelmet designs you are debating. So many options. Kat will feel she is in a 5-star hotel when she arrives in May. Lucky girl!
It would have been a plain, straight pelmet, padded and covered in the same fabric as the curtains, just coming to the top of the window. Might be something I do at a later date. There is a plain white roller blind that acts as a blackout.
DeleteThey look very smart. I like the lenght. Good job! It suprised me that my Curtain Maker put two hooks on the wall for the tie back.
ReplyDeleteSome people consider tie-backs to be old fashioned. I just like to have the option.
DeleteYou have I think the same fabric as one of ur rooms - great minds / good taste and all that... I'm not for pelmets especially with such a nice rail
ReplyDeleteI think the pelmet might just be too much for the size of the room.
DeleteThey look beautiful. I love the curtains and the head board and the tie backs. You have made a very tasteful and professional job. I am sure Kat will be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I hope she will like it.
DeleteWell done! It all looks very professional! Pretty fabrics!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ellen.
DeleteExcellent, Sue - you have done a beautiful job and it looks very elegant. Will there be a throw-over bedcover too, or co-ordinating duvet and pillow? Kat will be so delighted with such luxurious surroundings she won't want to leave!
ReplyDeleteI have enough leftover fabric to make a bed throw but I will wait and see what Kat thinks about that idea.
DeleteWill you be ordering a bullwhip as you dream up more home improvement projects? Paul had better watch out.
ReplyDeleteI don't need to use force, he is very well trained and just loves being kept busy.
