An inspirational book that gives good step by step instructions, complete with most standard drapery styles for all rooms in the house.
Little dissapointment
by Customer A3OHWNYU1F17LS at June 18th, 2008
If you want to see step by step illustration, this book is NOT for you. There are nice examples of window treatment but there is no enough illustration for the parts that you really need to see how to do. Honestly it didint fill my needs, i need to check out another book
Great book!

Beautiful book. I loved the photographs and easy to read style. I am more motivated than ever to do the drapery projects that motivated me to find a book like this in the first place. Well done.
