What’s missing in my rooms? March 27, 2008

So, you just returned from Easter  at your Aunt’s house.  She has such a beautiful house; it is always picture perfect and looks as if Home & Garden magazine could walk in at any moment to take photos for a magazine spread!  Looking around your house now you realize how incomplete it looks, something’s missing but it’s hard to put a finger on just what exactly it is.

Well I’m here to tell you right now, it’s your lack of window coverings.  They make all the difference in a room.  It’s taken me years to realize just how important they are, despite the fact I’ve worked in the window covering business for over 8 years now!  I don’t know about you, but I get so wrapped up in decorating a room, creating a special feeling with paint and furnishings; buying just the right amount of décor.  Even placing specific objects in various places so that it has a lived in look, even if I rarely enter the room myself!

The last thing I attempt in any room is the window coverings.  Why? You ask?  Same reasons as most of you …..fear!  Fear of a permanent wrong choice, fear of getting tired of something less than a year after I put it up, fear that my mental image and my physical choices won’t equal each other, all in all it’s just a paralyzing fear!

(perfectly beautiful room that has undeveloped potential)
