Whimsical Panels

Butterfly Finials (1050)




This glamorous window treatment by designer Sheri Stouffer with Finishing Touches shows how a simple stationary panel on a short drapery pole can make a tremendous statement. The traditional Old World Gold finish on the drapery hardware anchors the treatment and yet adds its own sense of whimsy with the butterfly finials. These, in turn, tie into the whimsical color pallette of the room.
What a wonderful retreat!
