I bought the fabric in Miami when I was decorating this house in the beginning and contracted the Workroom to make the drapes, lined in the same fabric. They used a white liner instead so I had all this fabric left over.<br /><br />Not just the lining but everything about those massive drapes were displeasing to me and yet, I thought we could live with them and we did for 5 years.<br /><br />A year ago last Spring when Karl's hospital bed was in the master bedroom, I wanted to cheer up the room for him and proceeded in the big task of taking down those drapes and big cornices. That's when I fell off the ladder and broke my left wrist.<br /><br />I ended up in the hospital overnight with surgery the next morning and another surgery 6 months later but as an outpatient. Claude, our wonderful handyman finished the job for me, even repainting the walls where the cornices had left big holes. The room was certainly a lot cheerier but now it's time to have the window treatments that I wanted in the first place and fortunate to still have the fabric of my choice.NORA KASTENhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246829888139875748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5268054527325265069.post-80621449842639880712010-11-01T10:10:45.820-04:002010-11-01T10:10:45.820-04:00Such a beautiful painting!
