when i started working for a designer (10 yrs ago) in college, i remember making faces when she would mention words like balloon shade, swag and jabot, or cafe curtains when we were brainstorming for window treatments for clients...i can now laugh at myself as i ponder where i could incorporate cafe curtains into my own home...i love the simplicity of them and how great they show off a fabric...i actually just put a pair in a client's home!
