Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Don't worry about unfamiliar vocabulary here because Parks not only explains decorating jargon but also provides ideas, guidelines, and instructions for covering windows in dozens of different styles--swags, roller shades, lambrequins and cornices, and goblet or pencil-pleated draperies, for instance. Nonsewers will appreciate the attention paid to planning and answers to questions about function, characteristics, room styles, and other aspects. Readers will be buoyed by the wealth of information, illustrations, and color photographs, in addition to professional tips, such as, "Don't wash or dry clean fabric window treatments. Vacuum, vacuum, vacuum." Now, plain or fancy, home windows get a new look. Barbara Jacobs

review of Window Treatments and curtains by Carol Parks,
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Book Of Window Treatments & Curtains: Traditional & Innovative Ways To Dress Up Your Windows (Paperback)
after checking out this book from our local library, I simply had to have it. I have started to make my own window treatments amd this book gave good discriptive terms that were easy to understand. The pictures made the projects less intimating. This book is easy to understand with basic but important information
