Excerpt from the Book:

Window treatments have tremendous impact on your home’s dйcor. Considering how much space window treatments take up, their color and pattern have as much or more influence over the decorating scheme of the room as the furnishings, wall dйcor, and artwork. The ambiance of the room is reflected in the style of the window treatment, from casual fabric roller shades to formal pinch-pleated draperies and lots of choices in between.

In the overall decorating budget, window treatments often cost more than the furniture, especially when the treatments are custom designed for you. You can reduce those costs by half if you make them yourself. You don’t need professional sewing skills to get professional results.
