Wanting to freshen up a room…or maybe redecorating…here’s an easy way to use the panels you’ve got but make them look new. Choose velvet ribbon in any colors that work with your decor and turn plain tab-top curtains into an elegant treatment. To achieve this look, lay out the panels and attach horizontal bands of ribbon with fabric glue. To make the ties at the top, cut the tabs off, then cut six evenly placed, 1-inch horizontal slits across each panel. Finish by cutting V shapes out of the ends of each tie. Now you’ve got a pretty new window treatment…pat yourself on the back!!

Look At Your Shutter Hinges

Filed under: Hardware,Shutter Hinge — content @ 8:00 am

When you think of your shutters, the last thing that you are concerned about is the shutter hinges. Well this is a completely wrong approach. In most cases we do not even consider them since it is very rare that the shutters are used or moved and as long as the hinge works, we are happy. Well this should just not be the case. The shutter hinges that are available now are state of the art and much more visually appealing than their predecessors. In most cases we do not even realize what our shutter hinge will look like or what kind of condition that it may be in. However we do nee to look at this periodically and determine if they function and look at it from the point of a buyer and try to determine what they would see, like, or dislike in reference to your shutters and your hinges. Make sure that you inspect and check these hinges to make sure that they are working. At one point you too were the home buyer and you wanted to explore every inch of that home and what it brought to you.
