Bev: I suddenly thought one day, while looking at a pelmetted, cornice-boarded, swagged and jabot-ed window that had, really commited no offense to anyone, why?
I mean, it's dark inside, so you cut a hole in the wall to let some light in, and to see outside without having to go outside. And then sometimes you want it to be be dark inside, so you cover the hole, but sometimes you want it open, but drafts come in around it, so you want to muffle the drafts, so you push the window covers to the sides to help cut down the draft. But basically, it's a hole in the wall with fabric hung there to perform certain functions. Okay, color, I can see curtains being an opportunity for color. But when it starts getting into cornices and jabots, I'm standing here with my head tilted going, whuh?
