To me they look slightly Early American/primitive, maybe because of the square pegs holding them together? <BR/>One note about steaming the drapes: do it from the BACK side, because even a small spot of water from the steamer will stain the silk side. You could just hang the panel in the bathroom, crank up the hot water and close the door for 10 minutes, too. That way there's no way water will get on the silk.kingstreetfarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864088994636058801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-71610558242713027182008-03-23T18:30:00.000-04:002008-03-23T18:30:00.000-04:00I would love your star fish , thanks.

Its sold on Amazon (link below). <BR/><BR/>The frosted film was the type they sell at Home Depot. Pretty easy to install with some windex and a squeegie. The hardest part is cutting it just right. Ive seen some much more fabulous patterned options online too.<BR/><BR/>Good to hear about the steaming..I might get up the nerve to try it. I know the sun might damage the drapes at some point but short of keeping them closed all day, I'll have to deal with it. Yet another reason I can't bring myself to spend $469 on a drapery!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>http://www.amazon.com/Umbra-Coretto-36-Inch-Decorative-Tension/dp/B00069C86O/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1206225072&sr=8-1Mrs. Limestonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159249562273770481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-6649305391108907352008-03-22T18:25:00.000-04:002008-03-22T18:25:00.000-04:00It looks so perfect, where did you find that tensi...It looks so perfect, where did you find that tension rod I have not seen one in black it appears to even have some details.<BR/>I think the film is nice actually , not tacky, I have the same in my bedroom because I feel everyone can see in , but I don't have a double hung window like you where it looks very intentional , mine looks like it just stops, and it has an awful texture, it was too temporary , I just don't know what elsed to do , I need privacy but I like the windows exposed during the day ???<BR/>It looks so very inviting in the kitchen dining room, score on the drapes, I know when I worked in retail we steamed silk garments and it was never a problem , sun light it more harmful.<BR/>Well done as always.Chris Kauffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01484823325531182507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-55611425086022229962008-03-22T17:19:00.000-04:002008-03-22T17:19:00.000-04:00Lovely- love the tension rod, the curtain looks g...Lovely- love the tension rod, the curtain looks gorgeous - the asian benches are great as is.
