Let It shine

Graphic Design by Lisa L. Slowik

 

April showers have passed and the gentle May breezes of spring herald a new beginning. It's time to celebrate the season, as well as the glorious sunshine and flowers that delight our senses. Our attention naturally turns to windows, which allow us to bring the splendor of the blossoming outdoors inside to refresh our interiors, rejuvenate our attitudes and sweep away the doldrums that linger from the winter just past.

 

This spectacular sun room with views to the breathtaking vista beyond feature the versatile döfix side track cordless shade system. Shades can be arranged in any position in the window to maximize the sunlight and view or provide desired privacy. The shades' streamlined design is softened by the gentle cascades of sheer swags.   döfix sidetrack cordless shade system
This cozy and inviting porch is surrounded by windows protected with Vista® window film. The solar control film guards against fading of furnishings because it eliminates harmful ultraviolet rays. Box pleated valances in the same floral pattern as the settee tie the look together, while fabric shades in a complementary yellow raise and stack neatly underneath the valance for full enjoyment of the view.   Vista® window film
Elegant in its simplicity, this treatment features a Kirsch Fashion Trends ebony rod and clover finials. The sheer scarf treatment frames the view and puddles onto the floor as sunlight floods the room. When privacy and light control are not of concern, simply frame the view and enjoy!   Kirsch Fashion Trends ebony rod and clover finials

Subtle sheer side panels hang from simple wrought iron rods with intricate finials in the sitting room, allowing for the interesting play of light and shadow on the room's wall covering. The wallpaper, Brushstrokes from International Wallcoverings, is designed by Barbara Hanisz and distributed by Brewster Wallcoverings. Its soft swirls and strokes in earthy colors, many on a pearlescent background, enhance the dappled effect of the sun's soft rays.
