Add Some Nail Heads to a Cornice...

Looking to add some extra detail to a window treatment?

Recently I completed a drapery job for a client.

Here's the before photo...

And Here's the completed job...

The great room had just recently be redone.

I was called in to soften the room with fabric.

What to do?

It was a large room with some heavy elements....

I designed window treatments and custom pillows

that fit into the room perfectly.

Here's another view of the large window that needed

some accessorizing with fabrics.

The windows on either side of the fireplace

 were flanked with window treatments

 that had some extra special detail.

Sometimes just by adding nailheads to a cornice,

that will give you the added WOW factor you're looking for.

The cornice was covered with a dupioni silk fabric. 

 Next was to draw the design for the nail heads onto tissue paper,

 and then transfer the design onto the cornice.

Each nail headed was then pounded in individually.

This took some time, but was well worth the effort. 

I ordered the Fleur-De-Lis wood appliqué from

 Van Dykes Restores.

It comes unfinished.

 It was painted to match the finish of the nail heads.

This appliqué was 9" tall. 

It comes in various sizes which you can view Here.

Here is a close up of the deatil.

It was a sunny day so the photos are not top quality.

The kitchen is attached to the great room,

so the window over the sink

 needed to have a bit of WOW factor also.

I chose two coordinating fabrics

 that worked well with the solid fabric in the great room.

The window treatment had some extra "Bells and Whistles".

The jabots was made out of an embroidered silk fabric.

Each jabot was attached to the arched cornice

 with wooden medallions.

 Pretty tassels hung from the end of each of the jabots.

The cornices arched shaped helped to frame the windows

 beautiful view of the lake.

I loved the challenge

and the client LOVED her new window treatments!

I'll be linking up to.....
