I’m back to share a bit more in Lauren and Philip’s new house, that being the small library that is just off the foyer of their new house. This is just an open small space that’s perfect for a deck and bookcases. Sort of an out of the way alcove that will be nice for a smaller cozy office. We also worked again with one of my sponsors, Payless Décor, in getting some drapes for this single window. They have tall ceilings in their home and these drapes are longer than average and she chose grommets for her windows in this space.
They turned out really pretty!
Lauren choose grommets on her drapes for a modern, yet classic look and she bought dark wood rods for this room. You’ll notice a pretty wooden desk and a new bookcase in here too.
Shopping on Craigslist again, she found this beautiful wood desk by Kindel for $150. What a steal that was! She looked up the brand and found out it’s high-end.
This pretty bookcase was also a Craigslist find for $450. So, this room is really coming together now, with the addition of the drapes.
The desk is very classic and traditional and looks great in here.
With a leather top, it’s a nice addition to their classic home.
Top of the bookcase.
Now for the details on the drapes. Lauren chose Advantage III drapery panels in the color, Carmina Hemp, a pretty damask pattern in a golden shade. With Payless Décor, you can order several types of drapes and are made to order per the specs that you choose. There are LOTS of fabric choices to choose from as well and you can order samples online to be sure you know what you are getting before ordering.
The grommets are nice and neat and hang really well.
They are lined and made to order. You can choose the length too and order that to your own window size.
Choose width and height for your panels and grommets or pole-mount and get just what you want (with fabric choices, they have lots to choose from).
Lauren’s new drapes look beautiful in her window and really makes this room come alive now. These drapes ran about $350 (with some discounts applied) for the pair, which is certainly not unreasonable for custom ordered drapes.

Would love the blackout cellular shades for our bonus room….the perfect thing for energy efficiency and blocking the light when needed.
I would shop for a window covering for my 3 year old grandson’s room. We have just had it painted and are adding the final touches now. Life is busy having a 3 year old around again….fun, but tiring. Love the window treatments that were used here…..classic and timeless.

Thank you for introducing me to this great site. I have spent over 30 minutes viewing all of their blind choices. I have not been able to find faux wood mini blinds and was delighted to see that they had the 1 inch size. I also like their bamboo shades. I have requested samples and can’t wait for them to arrive so I can place an order.
Would love to replace my mini blinds with bamboo blinds. Hope to be the winner!
I’d love new drapes for me family room or cafe curtains for my kitchen.
I love your shades and I need shades in all my rooms. I need to get rid of, yes, mini blinds. Thanks for the opportunity to enter.
I would love to change out the rusted and outdated mini blinds in the basement. I have three large windows. The garage also needs a new look from the street. So much to do around our house.
Rhoda, you make the installation look like a breeze! I’d love the bamboo blinds!
Laurens drapes are beautiful. If l won, l would love blinds for my kitchen windows.
