The draperies really help to block drafts in the winter and make rooms feel cozier. Recently I hung draperies on a pair of French doors simply to provide more privacy at night, and was pleasantly surprised at how much they enhanced the look of the room. We rarely use both doors so I sweep the drapes completely to one side during the day to let in the light. This arrangement is very flexible --- I just wish I had put them on those French doors years ago. lynnhttp://lynnedwardsart.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-2381990502432172242014-10-03T17:50:48.194-04:002014-10-03T17:50:48.194-04:00It will look wonderful!!

I am constantly talking it up to my hubby but he thinks it will make our living room feel too small. I don't agree; I think it will be very cozy. Anyway, love all your ideas, as usual. Can I ask where you got that glass thingy on the buffet? And what do you call those things? I love them!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17917839178944601336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-42453622778579082432014-10-03T04:42:39.265-04:002014-10-03T04:42:39.265-04:00Your house is always beautiful!

I have drapes in a lot of the rooms in my house. My living room are just decorative. Dining and two of the three bedrooms are used. Yes, they do help keep the heat in (and I need that with these cold WI winters, and builder grade windows---not a good mix). I think drapes add to the homey feel of a home.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895535159666065770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-89074802604107263842014-10-02T13:14:51.044-04:002014-10-02T13:14:51.044-04:00I love the combo of the drapes with the shades!

We actually do not have anything on the large window in our dining room, but I like it that way. The drapes in our living room get closed in the evening just so passersby can't see in.
