Windows Week, Part 5: Master Bedroom {Plus a Sunset}

Let there be many windows to your soul,

that all the glory of the world may beautify it.

~Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Today's post concludes Windows Week here in the Loop, and in our master bedroom, all I can say is, "You've come a LONG way, baby!"

Below is what our master window looked like in July when we took the first look-see at our townhouse rental.

Yes, another Roman shade.  In fact, every window in the townhouse possessed a Roman shade!  Don't get me wrong-- I like Roman shades, but these were dark and very dirty!

And here's the view from the master window.

Lovely, ain't it?

After

I sheered this window with more dreamy, creamy gauze, hemmed with pinking sheers!  Then I clipped simple panels of creamy linen/rayon to wooden rings.  I'm still toying with the idea of lining these panels before I machine stitch a series of tucks into them, beginning about two-thirds of the way down and then finishing them with a deep hem.  After they're finished, of course I'll share!

Folks, thanks for stopping by!  If you haven't already shared your own thoughts, please do about:

The Office

The Downsala

The Kitchen

The Guest Suite

and, of course {this post} the master!

I conclude this week of windows with a lovely time lapse Arizona sunset captured earlier this week by David of Daso Photography.  I think I'll watch it again tonight and every other sunset every other night from here on out.  Arizona is soooooo dear to the hearts of Hot Lips and me.  When we're 80 we plan to retire there.  ",)

On a sad note, though, I'll share a heartbreaking event that occurred on Monday of Windows Week.
