Pretty in Pink via @chateauversailles. These draperies are in the meridian cabinet in the intimate part of Marie Antoinette’s apartment at Versailles. After 3 years of architectural restoration, the curators turned to the fabrics. Using modern techniques to analyze original textiles recovered the color lab helped craft a color scheme based on the colors that the Queen would have known in 1784. This silk fabric is a delicate embroidery of small flowers and foliage on a lilac background. The panels were further embellished with trim and tied back with corded tassel Tiebacks held by a rosette. It’s all in the details! #chateaudeversailles #paris #france #palaceofversailles #stunningsilks #perfectpassementerie 📸 EPV/ Thomas Garnier

My current window fashion obsession is this stunning example by BHDM Design for DIFFA. What makes this drapery treatment so special is the size, scale and perfect proportions; the impeccable workmanship, and oh, did I mention it’s Red! Not to mention, the backstory is as compelling as the treatment itself. BHDM did this installation for DIFFA to pay homage to the HIV/AIDS legacy. Inspired by the 3 miles of patchwork of quilts on the National Mall in 1987 honoring those who passed, thirty-five years later they felt it important to acknowledge this heritage through another quilt- a “symbol of protection, warmth and love- a fortress for dreamers.” Designed by Dan Mazzarini, the installation is comprised of drapery panels pieced together fabricated from @Schumacher fabrics from flamestitch velvets to toile. The panels are hung from a series of circular frames descending in size to form a tent of sorts. Inner rings are wrapped and dressed with galloon braid ending in a large tassel. A pair of draperies topped by silk swags are elegantly wrapped in passementerie that are tied back revealing the installation. 📸 via BHDM Design and Interior Design #BHDMXDIFFA #DanMazzarini #windowdressings #statementcurtains #designmeetscraft #JPworkroom #perfectproportions #schumacherhospitality #shaw contract #ardwyndecorativetrim #williamstorms #circlevisual #RobertWeiss&Co #Cuancontracting
