Inspiration Home Design: wood blinds

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">DEBRA'S BEAUTIFUL HOME</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My friend Debra recently came into town </div><div style="text-align: center;">and I spent a morning with her in San Juan Capistrano for breakfast and browsing through Whim </div><div style="text-align: center;">( I should say <em>drooling </em>through Whim)<em> </em></div><div style="text-align: center;">and the antique shops.<br /><br /> It was so fun to see her again. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">We became friends when she hired me to decorate her home here in OC. </div><div style="text-align: center;">We giggled our way through many a fabric store, and often found we had a 'following' of people wanting to know what we were doing that was so fun </div><div style="text-align: center;">and curious about the treasures we had collected in our cart. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">In reminiscing I realized I hadn't posted the photos of the decorating I did for her home here in OC. </div><div style="text-align: center;">We started with a clean slate - a brand new home. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>We added trim to the windows and faux wood blinds in the same color as the trim. </div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">We selected wall colors, ceiling colors and wonderful fabrics.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> </div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The result was a beautifully inviting space.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The family/living room was a rich blend of olive green, deep crimson and amber.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtzRfMNFKbJLa8RhDpfjaKnRZJbA0O3P6Y6ceGxjgrIFUS0xupjAX_3edU1K09jB6DgjjXldft67Ap2uVIkIke8GTVAL9Hp8_LY8Z0iUFDZakDkz67y71I_iEsH3xOPbhhXfUx2kEdk-0/s1600/debra1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtzRfMNFKbJLa8RhDpfjaKnRZJbA0O3P6Y6ceGxjgrIFUS0xupjAX_3edU1K09jB6DgjjXldft67Ap2uVIkIke8GTVAL9Hp8_LY8Z0iUFDZakDkz67y71I_iEsH3xOPbhhXfUx2kEdk-0/s640/debra1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>The leather sectional was accented with custom throw pillows which I made with down filled inserts. </div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The window treatments were a blend of custom and pre-made. We purchased the deep red velvet draperies and I made the valance with silk fringe trim, secondary curtains and tiebacks. It is a great alternative to custom draperies. <br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2cxPWdofDraibVKjo1CcZUJEq2MGXYteGFRC3AM2yy4Z0jSq26H_mmr3Cy2dti1_Bkh4I7x7kRGOs1ptRGWgnj9TLEhLNRIEPWRtwP3crDUA6MP2ToJxN_-sjL8B9YCvts0jBA09BtNE/s1600/debra2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2cxPWdofDraibVKjo1CcZUJEq2MGXYteGFRC3AM2yy4Z0jSq26H_mmr3Cy2dti1_Bkh4I7x7kRGOs1ptRGWgnj9TLEhLNRIEPWRtwP3crDUA6MP2ToJxN_-sjL8B9YCvts0jBA09BtNE/s640/debra2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8AUYlcvPshNul0-FGVPR9-yr8kkBWeD4lo4EWEk39OuRx7kdZpLQcEOuljSoV3Q7mQxMxrjCA2FggKqKatXRnxYb43dvkL9ZoNZeDhpXu00RybiiGWC6bewS6U8kpNYzEZRM-B-_zD94/s1600/debra3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8AUYlcvPshNul0-FGVPR9-yr8kkBWeD4lo4EWEk39OuRx7kdZpLQcEOuljSoV3Q7mQxMxrjCA2FggKqKatXRnxYb43dvkL9ZoNZeDhpXu00RybiiGWC6bewS6U8kpNYzEZRM-B-_zD94/s640/debra3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br />The adjacent breakfast nook in the kitchen echoed the same colors.
