My hobbies are diverse-decorating is one

I get into and out of decorating off and on for friends, I also wrote about it briefly for an online B&B magazine. I recently gave a friend advice on curtains for her breakfast nook, and it worked out beautifully. She had a triple-windowed bumpout with windows nearly touching for the 'bay window' look. There was about 3 inches between casings. It looks out to her horse pasture, rolling hills, sunshine, just a million dollar view. I said, instead of the long curtains she had planned, which would have covered a good deal of the windows- just use toppers. She picked out some tassled navy toile ones that came to a point in the center, and it looks fabulous. She also used square-ended heavy metal rods that add some weight to the tall windows. It's beautiful and you don't lose that amazing view.
