Parlor pelmet

The pelmets and pleated draperies worked so well in the kitchen, I decided to add them to the one parlor window as well. There is a lot going on in this room in the way of color, texture and pattern already, so I chose a soft white printed curtain topped with a subtle pelmet.

I made a tall pelmet since there was a lot of space between the window and the ceiling. A tall pelmet with long curtains makes a window look taller. I covered the pelmet with a soft grey-green fabric from Mini Decorators, purchased at one of the local mini shows.
