It's amazing what a little paint and fabric can do...  

This is a condo that needed a little help. New drapes in the living room and
a window seat and drapes in the bedroom. The drapes in the living room are double sheers, gold and chocolate brown. I believe in versatility... if you're going to spend some cash on drapery panels why not have them do more than just hang there!! These sheers are completely reversible and are currently hung with clips, but have a channel if she decides to slide them on a rod in the future.
The same applies to the bedroom sheers. I have also, because this can be done with clips, folded the top over on the LR sheers to give an accent color at the top.

This client has a very different aesthetic than his 1910 Hollywood Hills home. He likes streamlined linear decor, with a touch of the movie "The Hunger", so that's what I gave him. The arch in the front window strongly suggested the style of the house. It was also higher than the rest of the windows in the large living area. I decided to level the heights with a linear valence (no frills at all) and hang simple sheers. The valences are meant to blend with the architecture. They will also eventually have a light source installed for an ambient up light.

These two pics are the same client as above.
His dining room needed help. The yellow on the wall was "dead", too much black in the color. So...I fauxed the wall with a golden copper metallic glaze and brushed the ceiling with a dark bronze metallic paint.
The drapes are a dark copper raw silk that go to the floor. The rods are copper plumbing pipes that have already started to age.

Even closer!

Here's his bedroom drapes.

Chocolate brown velvet lined with black out material with chocolate brown sheers. The drapes and sheers move independently, of course. And when they're closed... it's dark, really dark!

The client wanted complete darkness and drama in his 1920's studio apartment.
We chose a emerald green/royal blue shot taffetta which is solid
enough to block sunlight and dramatic enough to go with his 14foot beamed ceilings.
The drapes are completely reversable. If he so chose, he could turn the blue side out for a different look.
The sheers are a very light celedon chiffon on a separate rod made out of tension wire
for easy opening and closing. The drapes are pulled shut with a verticle rod attached to the top center.
 
David and Jody Cooley are the clients and they wanted something to go with their whimsy and their velvet couch.
We chose blue and burgandy velvet and a burgandy/fuchia satin.
The rods are actually aluminium electrical conduit and chainlink fence posts.
The finials are the fence toppers.
The tassels are made from painted rubber chair leg tips and hung from small ball chain.
The sheers in the dining room are attached to the drapes, but hang separately.

This client lives in a very contempory house in the Hollywood hills, very modern.
We chose a yellow linen weave fabric for a nice combination of translucence and opacity.
The treatment in the small window is held in place with grommets, top and bottom, so the wind
doesn't blow them up when the window is open. The longer drapes are covering a door to a patio
and are just hung from the top. The rods are again electrical conduit for the modern look.
