It is a very resonant fabric for me. It has an element of the clinical or the 'strict' which may have appealed to J-M Frank. I love the juxtaposition with the ruffles therefore.Rose C'est La Viehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193872186283731567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111886388324003324.post-78359947315698842032010-06-24T22:52:46.799-04:002010-06-24T22:52:46.799-04:00Dear Aesthete,

Even ones as simple (but I suspect, if correctly made, expensive) as the ones in this post. But deep down, curtains are the first thing I dream about in a room.<br /><br />Even if they are few and far between these days, I welcome your posts! I hope you keep cooking too, but I've been ordering a lot of pizza lately, so I totally understand!<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />CharlotteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111886388324003324.post-25623022060719593732010-06-24T22:35:25.197-04:002010-06-24T22:35:25.197-04:00Yes, those curtains are pure heaven.

If they represent Georgian refinement, you may love them. If they represent the 1946-59 Woman = Domestic Angel in the Home era, ruffled curtains would be a definite no-no.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111886388324003324.post-5514715638977426512010-06-24T19:32:01.891-04:002010-06-24T19:32:01.891-04:00Yeah!Yeah!Jane Kilpatrick Schotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13180782161704403156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111886388324003324.post-6138663323635892552010-06-24T19:16:32.046-04:002010-06-24T19:16:32.046-04:00love these. especially on the looong tall windows....love these. especially on the looong tall windows.Pigtown*Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775512940294150252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111886388324003324.post-81701335896279082732010-06-24T19:07:08.119-04:002010-06-24T19:07:08.119-04:00I had ruffled white Priscilla curtains in my room ...I had ruffled white Priscilla curtains in my room when I was a girl and I thought they were so glam. <br />In the 1980's I rocked quadruple width ruffles on black chintz drapes in my, yes, New York City apartment!<br />I was a lady-in-waiting to Mario Buatta The Prince of Chintz.<br />I can see ruffled curtains making a come back, especially the way you present them all chic and arty.<br />Love that you are posting now and then.<br />xo xoVisual Vamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17703228111473936714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111886388324003324.post-22406308423977469002010-06-24T18:26:01.394-04:002010-06-24T18:26:01.394-04:00Love it, especially the contrast of the unlined, p...Love it, especially the contrast of the unlined, plain fabric with that sumptuous ruffle against the white and gilt 17th/18th century boiserie.<br /><br />I think the real aspect that makes such curtains work is ceiling height, low ceilings would make the curtains look affected or "forced".Quatorzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337746034416005462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111886388324003324.post-47243452246196723232010-06-24T14:06:49.512-04:002010-06-24T14:06:49.512-04:00I'm with you on this one, big time.

What makes or breaks ruffled curtains is the the level of contrast with the rest of a room's scheme, and the stronger the contrast, the more striking the results. In a room filled with flounces & furbelows, ruffled curtains die a thousand deaths, but against a stricter background--the kind Frank favored early on--they're killer. <br /><br />Here's a rare photo of what have to be the most glamorous curtains in all of Chicago, designed in 1928 by the incomparable Rue Carpenter for the lounge of one of the city's toniest private clubs. <br /><br />http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a286/MAGNAVERDE/RWCruffledcurtains.jpg<br /><br />The only spot of color in this otherwise-monochromatic room are the fixed panels of emerald green satin, which glow like Kryptonite against the dead-black walls & carpet.
