Creative Window Treatments (Creating Your Home Series)

Provides instructions for making curtains, blinds, valances, and accessories

Here are two more additions to the series designed to give the amateur interior decorator ideas and instructions on creating a more pleasant home. Window Treatments gives clear, well-illustrated instructions on projects from cafe curtains to shades and includes curtain styles not covered in other how-to-window treatment books, such as bishop sleeve curtains and painting nonfabric blinds. Living Room Decorating has fewer projects than Bedroom Decorating (LJ 1/96), but it gives an overview of decorating styles and an analysis of the details that make each style. Chapters on seating, lighting, storage, and tables give information on identifying types and quality. Both books contain a multitude of photographs that will give plenty of inspiration to the novice interior decorator. Recommended for public libraries.
