100 Windows - #5

When is a sheer not so sheer?  When you line it!

This window in a Washington DC condo faced a large, public, interior courtyard.  The owner fell in love with the windowpane sheer.  She liked the airy look at it but wanted to maintain constant privacy. We used a plain sheer for the privacy part and lined the other sheer for the over drapery.

Mounting the drapery hardware into the ceiling maintained the elegant simplicity of the design, and full view when both draperies are pulled open.
