Fullness, a subjective decision...


In the world of decorating there are many subjective decisions that need to be made.  And it is not often that you can go back and choose again.  Below we have two pictures, one you may recognize from a prior post.  The client and I spoke and it was decided that the priority would be to preserve as much glass as possible and to cover as little of the decorative plaster as possible.  As such we used one width of fabric per side.

One width per side.
After the pieces were installed the client thought about it and asked if we could add a second width.  Cutting down is easy, adding more is a bit more involved.  The first thing we did is contact the company and have a cutting sent to verify that the dye-lot of the new piece would be the same as the old one.  Then we made sure that the dimensions were the same as the original and below you can see the result!

Two widths per side.
I think it certainly adds to the formality of the room and I must admit, I like the scale.  And since I was there already I took another picture of the Dining room.  Here you go:

Man, is it ever hard to take a picture of back-lit windows...
