Looking back at days gone by offers comfort and joy through happy memories, nostalgia and an "at home" feeling. Create a warm and welcoming interior for your client with new ideas that are wrapped in old fashioned ambiance. The following pages feature new window, wall and room accessories from antiques to retrospective styles to take your imagination on a flashback journey to yesteryear.

Kirsch Tiffany Collection redefines elegance for window treatments with classically shaped panels in the traditional Tiffany color scheme of amber, blue and red as well as in mother of pearl. A more whimsical floral design also is available. Shown here with velvet draperies trimmed with gold cording and tassels, Tiffany brings a look popular a century ago into the new millennium.

Elegant formality and rich colors defined window treatments of the past, however, easy-care was not a factor. ADO has recaptured the charm of treasured hand-embroidered sheers with practical versions that are both affordable and machine washable. Instead of fragile silk brocades and satins for formal swags and over draperies, ADO provides colorfast, washable Decor fabrics in a broad choice of glowing colors and textures. Vertical seaming has been replaced by seamless widths up to 118 inches.
ADO Sheers

Fashion meets function in Applause® blackout shades from Hunter Douglas, shown here in this '50's-style den. Retrospective of an era gone by, this interior features Applause Legends[TM] collection which has an offset pleat construction to ensure pleats retain their crispness and uniformity.

Catch up on a good book under the warm look of this custom crafted cornice from Rainbow Woods. Featured here in solid oak with a plate groove for display and tapestry fabric to match the window seat below, this top treatment becomes a part of the room furnishings as well as the finishing touch to a classic window style. Choose from 15 designs with endless custom selections including any stain, paint, wallpapers, fabrics and hand carved solid wood.
