Well, I kind of like it. I think it is fun, and you can choose any number of accent colors. That is also an easy blue to match. *shrug*

It doesnt look too busy to you GB?

Mebbe when it is out of the bag it will be less busy looking than the picture. I was hoping she would pick something brighter and more colorful..

I like the Koi. Besides if Girl Kia likes it why not? pretty sophistcated taste for such a young lady.

Try it with white accents &amp; sheets.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Green_Biscuit</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Kia, consider mounting the Roman at ceiling height, which does add length to the product overall but when raised you can bring it right to teh top of the inside window frame. You get the illusion of more height in the window, max light, and window dressing to boot. </div></div>

Awesome idea

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Green_Biscuit</div><div class="ubbcode-body">
Another option is to mount a rod that way, add amaybe three flat ready made valances (for fullness) and use a blind that is a hybrid and use it for light control, while still getting the same illusion. See me? </div></div> This one I am lost on but it could be cause mi supa tired this evening I will look again tomorrow.

hey that is what parents are for, to guide &amp; steer (from black wall paints and away from blue koi) when the polka dots are available

Re: Too dark a color for room?

Kia, this is the type of blind I meant, if you want to put a valance over it. Lots of companies make them, including high end Hunter Douglas. Blind

Or go with something like this, as an outside mount, and mount high, and then it makes its own valance, in a way. Note the red canvas option. (you may want to get room darkening liner)
hobbled roman

Re: Too dark a color for room?

Loving the hobbled Roman GB !! Thanks.. I am thinking a simple white (or off white for a color)..

btw saw this on sale at pier 1 today (while waiting on mi madda for her md appt) and talked them down 20% more because it was the store model.
