Vintage Fabric

I discovered this fabric at Calico Corners and Cutting Corners.  It has tiny pinkish red roses on it.  The blue goes great with my color scheme.  My mother sewed the material in one long piece so all I had to do is drape it across with a swag shape.  I think fabric softens a window.  In Texas alot of people use the blinds alone.  It seems when I visited homes on the east coast it was more common to see drapes.  Since I am more traditional I like the look of a more finished piece.  I wouldn't have bought the blinds but the glare on the TV needed to be blocked out.  They are also very important for privacy.  I used sheers for living room.
