Any suggestions for dining room drapes?

My dining room is painted a light ivory color above chair rail w/ cream colored bottom & white trim 'squares' below the chair rail. The trim is all painted white. The trim work is very elaborate. I have ivory Lenox Laurel Leaf table linens, and white china with gold piping. Dark walnut furniture. And one window; 36x84. I would like an elegant drape to tie in all of these ivory & cream colors, but only have about $200 to spend. Any suggestions? I would really appreciate them I am going crazy trying to find something!

I would get a nice rod and a length of rich colored fabric(deep green, gold or burgandy) and swag it over the window. This site has some good/easy ideas....or just google....elegant no-sew window treatments
good luck

How To Purchase bed Linen Online

Let's face it; quality bed linen can be expensive, so you want to make the right choices up front when considering your next bedding as it will be with you for sometime.A few things to keep in mind before you buy your bedding.

To save you the hassle of running back to the store, always know before you go what is the appropriate linen size you will need for your bed or beds.Once you take the sheets out of the packaging, they will be much harder to return to the store, so pay attention to what you are purchasing.Take measurements of your mattress to remove the guess work out of which size sheets you require.Mattresses are typically produced in a standard size, but some variations may occur.Don't forget to double check the width of the mattress or mattresses.Those nice, puffy pillow top mattress need to be fitted with deep pocket linens. Anything short of this, will leave you frustrated when you attempt to fit them over your plushy mattress.Bear in mind that the larger size mattress will cost you more than a pretty penny to cover in sheets.You may want to consider how important that is before you decide on that king size mattress.

Let's consider the thread count shall we? Have you ever wondered what it means? Before you go to the store, you will want to understanding what the thread count is about. In a nutshell, the thread count is the quantity of threads in each square inch of the material in both directions of the sheet weave. The thread count should be prominently displayed on the packaging to make it easy for you to find what you are looking for.If you want soft, smooth sheets, look for high thread counts for the higher the number, the better the sheets.But all that extra comfort will cost you more money.

There are two main reasons for thinking about getting to sheet sets at once.The first is just practicality. When you launder the sheets on your bed, you will want something to put in place.Also, if you have a few sheet sets in rotation, you will be able to extend the lifetime of all of the sheets as well.

The design and color of the sheets and bedding ensemble go hand in hand with the look and feel of your room. So choose wisely!If you create a soothing atmosphere in your bedroom, you will increase the chances and degree of having restful sleep.When purchasing your bed linens, make sure you have a strong idea of what your looking for; frequently changing bed ensembles is not cheap!

Let us not neglect to take into consideration the myriad of fabric types used to create sheet sets and bed ensembles.For warming up during winter, flannel and fleece sheets are the best choice.It is hard to beat this type of sheet to help ward off the freeze of winter, but summer warrants cotton woven sheets for coolness.Cotton is indeed a favored option among the populace, with many buying cottons blends that won't easily wrinkle.If you really want to get fancy, try silk or satin sheets.
