| The Sample |
MrBP's grandmother had a term for any sort of drapery or curtain, whether humble or fine: rags at the windows. I imagine her saying it with her Austrian accent and I know just what she meant; sure they finish a room and can be really exquisite but really they're just a bit of stuff hanging there.

Out of the magic sewing room used by our trusty designer Julie our new drapery panels emerged last week, just in time for the holidays.

| The new rags. |
They were fairly simple to install as we had sourced some wooden drapery rods near the end of the Big Renovation 2015. The rods did have to be adjusted and moved slightly but it was quick work.
This is the kind of home renovating that is immediately satisfying.

Mixed with the linen upholstery on the dining chairs.
And the Hanukah pillow that features a menorah and weirdly, squirrels. |
The fabric is a linen-viscose blend that drapes really beautifully. I wondered if the pattern would look a bit modern but I think the colour mix is perky without being too jarring.
I'm happy to be rid of the gloomy dark silk panels. They're stuck in the back of my car ready for the donate bin, hopefully they'll soon be someone else's treasure.

| Existing drapery rods suit these rags better I think! |
I love a bit of pattern and colour! Happy Tuesday Dolls, I might try to bake up some
kipfel today.
