I love the study - the blue is stunning. I also love all the antiques too, mixed with the more modern pieces. The velvet curtains are great too. I just love it all!

I'll send a picture of what i did next...i ordered wood 2 1/2" blinds for the study the same color as the bookshelves and they just came in today. I thought it would look more masculine than the london shades i was thinking about. And i ordered some custom woven wood blinds for the three windows in the main room (not the window seat window; i think i'll leave that bare), and i hope it looks ok. I didn't want to cover up any windows, but i did want it to look finished. The best part is i didn't pay the $1000 a window that i was quoted when i first started looking....i went to JC Penney when they had their sale; with their sale and an additional promotion, i got my blinds (Hunter Douglas, no less) for $200+ and the three woven wood shades for $200+!!!! So 4 big windows for under $500!! I hate spending $, and i figured if i hated the look, or wanted to change it in the future, i wouldn't feel so guilty. I didn't want to put dark wood blinds in all the windows...too matchy-matchy. Do you think i should put some kind of tie-back on the curtains? Wow, you made our place look so nice!!

Nice idea on the curtains...I love my windows bare so all the light floods in, this way no one is tempted to close the drapes but you still have the finished look. Great antiques.

Randomly, I don't know which part is my favorite... the (now I know what that's called!) early-American pressed glass vases, the dark blue study (love painting small accent rooms a bold color!) with the built-ins (SOO well arranged, btw!!), or that bee-you-tee-ful antique bench under great...grandpa. Really, I love it. As for the panels... those just seem to add the perfect amount of drama. The height and everything is great; I would never have thought to mount them within the molding but it definitely works. How many panels are there around the room?
