{Babygirl’s Room} The Window!

Hello Monday! My household is mostly well now, and we even got out and enjoyed the weekend. I hope you enjoyed yours as well. Did you make it to the World Market Friends & Family Sale? Never one to let a good coupon go to waste, I popped in and picked up some pretty linens for our Easter table.

I felt like such a chump for not getting to this post last week after showing the pelmet and monogram, but I assured myself that none of you is living and dying by this blog. Or are you?!? I’ll keep my chit-chat to a minimum and just let you gaze upon the gorgeous window in Babygirl’s Room.

I’m crazy for how the Art Center pairs with the window. It’s almost as if I planned it!?! Using fabric glue, I trimmed the drapes in perfectly-coordinated grosgrain ribbon. The drapes aren’t as sheer as they appear, it’s just difficult to get a good picture of a West-facing window when it’s actually light enough to see it.

I decided a simple shape for the pelmet would pair nicely with the straight lines of the Faux Crown Molding. I love how the molding and pelmet trim are perfectly aligned.

Here’s a view of the window with the drapes closed and open.

And another at night.

The L-brackets worked perfectly, and the pelmet rests flush against the wall. I’m pretty much obsessed with the khaki ceiling too!

Since I walked you through every painful step in building the pelmet, I thought I’d show you how we actually hung it. After the curtains were hung, we positioned the pelmet exactly where we wanted it (covering the curtain rod), and screwed the bracket into the wall. Ours is 53″ wide, so it was definitely a 2-man job. {Thanks babe!}

Here’s a peek looking up, where you can see the darkening shade. When rolled up, it’s completely hidden by the pelmet.

Hard to believe this is the same little 36″ wide window.

I think the monogram is the perfect finishing touch…making it sophisticated, yet the pink keeps it youthful! Here’s a peek of of the window with her Radish Bed.

I only have a handful of projects left to show you before revealing the full room…including one for the light that I’ve yet to attempt. Are you still with me??? Did you almost die waiting for this window reveal?!?

    You took a cute baby's room – no real architectural interest at all – and turned it into a beautiful, custom room with attention to every detail that looks as if it was $$$-designed by a professional…and won't those dollars you saved be SO much more fun to spend next month in sidewalk cafes?! Smart, talented little cookie! 🙂 Ali
