When
designing and making curtains or valances, you need consider so may things:
style, fabric, trim, lining and hardware.
Often you can find exactly what you are looking for! But it isn’t always that easy to match colors
and finishes in you home with what is available in the store.
This
is especially true with decorative hardware. You will find a wide selection of
wooden pole rods, rings, finials and brackets at Mary Jo’s, but what if you
wanted a certain color to match your wall or trim, or an unusual color to match
a fabric or piece of art?
Don’t
worry – be creative! Purchase unfinished
wooden hardware and paint it yourself.
Here
is an example of wood finials painted to match the fabric. This creates a truly custom design, and uses
finials in a new and different way.

| Trims and details make the difference |

| Covered welt cord is used to make ties which are sewn inside the pleats |
