The August 4, 2012 Ask the Design Diva was all about window treatments. Our trend report was about using more than one fabric in a single drapery panel. Michelle Minardi of Carolina Premier Window Film was in the studio sharing all the ways 3M Window Film can help reduce glare and energy usage in our homes. With the heat wave like it’s been, that is good advice to get! She also mentioned that there was an added benefit: window film will help keep your window treatments, furniture, and flooring from getting damaged by the sun.
We also talked about embellishing store bought curtains to make them better fit your decor, a way to fool the eye with window treatments, and a basic primer of home-made, ready-made, semi-custom, and custom draperies so you will know all of the options available to you.
You can tune into “Ask the Design Diva” live Saturday mornings from 8 to 9 on WAVO1150AM in Charlotte, or hear it live on our “Listen” page. You can also download podcasts of every show if you’ve missed any along the way.
