Design Dilemma: Sliding Glass Doors
My friend Erika isn’t quite sure what do do for window coverings in her living room. There is a lot going on here, the four small windows up top, a sliding glass doors and two normal windows.
I suggested she take down the blinds covering the 4 high windows which she did. I didn’t think they were really necessary there- they are so high up that no one would look in there and they let in great light.
I’m not the expert of window coverings for sliding glass doors so I suggested she talk to a store like Next Day Blinds to see what they would suggest.
Ideally I would love to see Bamboo Roman Shades covering the lower windows, but the current ones can stay as a cheaper alternative.
I would put up one curtain panel on the right curtain rod all the way on the right side of it. I would mirror that by having panels hanging on the left hand side of the curtain rod that is above the sliding glass doors. She would probably need two up there to cover the doors at night.
A cornice box atop the sliding glass doors would also look great- sheers or panels could go up underneath it.
More to come as I do some more research…

DC Design House 2009
Saturday I had the opportunity to volunteer at the 2009 DC Design House at the DC Design Center. Top designers from the DC area design one room in a pretend house in the design center. Each room is gorgeous, however my favorites were the master bedroom and dining room.
I’ve had the most difficult time trying to upload these (the originals were too big) so unfortunately some of them appear twice.
Here are the rooms in no particular order:
