Pink Silk Drapes… A Sneak Peak

Good Monday morning!! Hope your week is off to a great start.

My dining room window treatments were installed last week, and I thought I'd give you a sneak peek at them.

The windows had been naked for way too long. Which may have caused some dinner guests to be blinded by the sun.

I chose to finally dress them in bamboo blinds and pink silk with a greek key trim on the leading edge.

They're not ready for a full reveal yet. Some of the rings were backordered, so we had to make do with temporary ones that don't quite match.

Also, I haven't decided exactly how I want to "arrange" them. They were perfectly pleated when they arrived, but that wasn't the look I wanted. Right now they puddle quite a lot, and I'm debating about having them shortened to "trouser kick" length.  Not sure if I want to have them free-flowing or pulled back. So, I'm still messing around with them.

I like both of these looks...

Just need to live with mine for a bit, and see which look better fits the room.

Have you ever had silk drapes? What do you think… pull 'em back or let 'em loose?
