I was intrigued by your priscilla curtain comment. I didn't know you could even buy those anymore but I had a really nice pair back in the 70's when I did the country thing. I still love them though and adore watching those old black and white movies that take place in Connecticut or Maine or somewhere charming .Every window seems to be covered with the charming priscillas with or without drapes on the sides. Like your ideas to fancy up the useless ledge too. It should look beautiful when finished.susannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-7949868229617160932012-07-12T15:07:36.192-04:002012-07-12T15:07:36.192-04:00You are the queen of decorating.

I find that with age, we have less and less time to be beating around the bush and be cute. We tell it like it is and I appreciate that in a person.<br /><br />I just want to add that I like the shape of the light fixture of the lady with the high ledge, I think she could just give it a coat of oil rubbed bronze spray paint and Bob's your uncle, providing it can easily be taken apart and put back together. It's worth a try.

A compromise might be a Swedish type valance. Also, her current light fixture could be rehabbed with a little black paint and some chicken wire! I know- they don't send their questions to me, but if they did... I'd be ready!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02085198142422136185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-71525195495428420652012-07-10T23:07:25.026-04:002012-07-10T23:07:25.026-04:00So if someone had a word in their blog title spell...So if someone had a word in their blog title spelled incorrectly, would you tell her? :)Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323768335143979148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-90965080914101799502012-07-10T22:55:10.935-04:002012-07-10T22:55:10.935-04:00Betsy,

I have a friend who has that exact thing. She has nothing up there because she doesn't want to climb a ladder to put something up there and she can't figure out what to put up there. I did like your suggestions. <br /><br />Why oh why oh why do builders think they don't need an architect or great house plans. Seems they come up with a bad idea and they just keep doing it over and over. You see so many weird things like that in newer houses around here.
