Unveiling expert advice for curtains, blinds Know the lingo, then take into account important considerations
C
By Helen Carefoot
The Washington Post
urtains, shades and blinds serve both a practical and decorative purpose in a home. But these decor staples can be deceptively difficult to navigate. Who among us hasn’t had questions about how to hang or choose a window treatment? We asked experts for advice so even novices can start decorating with confidence. First, know the terminology. Draperies, curtains, shades, blinds: These are all window treatments. “Drapery typically means full-length,” said Adam Skalman, vice president of sales for the Shade Store, while curtains typically refer
to something that’s shorter in length and made of more sheer material. Shades, typically consisting of fabric and brackets, are a relatively affordable option for spaces where light and privacy are a concern. Blinds, with horizontal or vertical slats, come in materials such as wood and metal, and they work well in rooms in which you want to control the brightness level. The heading of a window treatment refers to how the curtain looks on top of the rod. Finials — pieces that can be attached to the ends of rods — provide decorative flourish and help rings stay in place, says Erika Hollinshead Ward, an Atlanta-based interior designer and owner of Erika Ward Interiors. As with any design project, start by thinking about what you want to accomplish.

work well as sheers, which provide some privacy but won’t block out light. They’re great for spaces where natural light is in short supply. “Someone might be able to How much light and see your silhouette, but you privacy do you want? Hollinshead Ward says that won’t lose any of the light,” to block out light, lined treat- she says. ments in heavier fabrics are In rooms where you’d like a good option and can even more flexibility and ease in provide some extra insulation controlling light levels, Hollinshead Wood and Skalman (these are also called “blackout curtains”). Lighter fabrics, both suggest using a shade, such as linen or cotton blends, then layering a curtain or

drape on a rod in front of it. If you want to use only curtains and want the benefits of both sheers and blackout panels, you could hang a double rod, although Hollinshead Ward says this is costlier and can look dated. Top-down-bottom-up shades, which can open from the top or bottom, can accomplish this as well, but are usually more expensive than standard shades. For large windows that give
off a lot of light, Skalman likes vertical blinds. Cellular shades also filter light and work well in rooms that need extra insulation, he says. If you’re after total darkness, Hollinshead Ward recommends hanging treatments to fully cover the window’s trim. What other architectural features must be consid ered?

In general, longer curtains give off a more finished, refined look, while treatments that are too short look dated and messy.
When deciding which treatment to use, think about the other furniture and fixtures in the space. “If you have a radiator under a window, you may not do a drapery; you may do a Roman blind,” Erika Hollinshead Ward says, because it extends to the just bottom of the window instead of the floor. Is there a bookcase right next to the window that will be obscured by curtains, or a chair in front of it that would make longer drapes look strange?
ware starts around $800. Home Depot offers roller shades in several materials, from around $20 each, that can be cut to fit your window, and stores such as Ikea and Target carry ready-to-hang sets from around $25. For spaces where you want the functionality of a shade but a softer material, Skalman suggests Roman shades, which fold as you raise them. Before you hang anything, measure around your window. Hollinshead Ward recWhat’s your budget? ommends measuring where Custom drapes are typical- the rod will be hung, the ly the most expensive option. window top to bottom, and Skalman says often there are the length and width of the other options that will meet window’s trim, if it has any. your needs with less hassle Know the position of any and cost. obstructions, such as vents, “If someone is new to light switches or wall art. the game and is looking Some companies, including for something clean and the Shade Store and Calico modern, that’s sort of the Corners, offer an in-home little black dress of window measuring service. treatments, is probably a roller shade.” he says.

and messy. Hollinshead Ward advises buying treatments with extra fabric in case more length is needed, then hemming them to fit. She prefers treatments to end between a half-inch and a quarter-inch above the floor and suggests hanging them no more than 7 to 10 inches above the window frame. But don’t hang them right above the window. Skalman suggests going a little wider and higher than the window. To hem curtains, lay them flat and fold the fabric back on itself. Hollinshead Wood suggests sewing or using hemming tape (available at many big-box retailers) to create a four- or six-inch hem for the most polished finish.
“If you have more than 120 inches in height, then I would do a taller hem so the hem would be in proportion to the length of the drape,” she says. If you need to make the panels significantly shorter, she suggests trimming the fabric before hemming to avoid the amateurish look of a seam in the middle of your panel. Many tailors and seamstresses will hem curtains, too. Don’t feel pressured to dress all the windows in a room with matching window treatments. Full-length drapery could look right at home over a pair of stately French doors, but it might not be right for another window in the same space.
If you are mixing treatments, Skalman says, “there should be some consistency, whether it’s in color or fabric.” The same goes for hardware: Skalman tries to match metal finishes already in the room. Experts agree that not much is needed in terms of maintenance for your window treatments. Hollinshead Ward suggests gently vacuuming curtains and blinds (let them all the way out first) with an attachment about once a month, or when they get dusty.

Sniff out great collectible with perfume bottle
M
ANY SMALL PORcelain figures were made in France, Germany and England in the 18th century, and many were made to resemble the work of the German Meissen factory. Realistic figures dressed in the robes of an unfamiliar country or vases with scenes and additional raised floral decoration were best-sellers even if the factory marks were symbols or initials that were nearly unknown. Jacob Mardochee Petit (1796-1868) started a porcelain factory in Bellville, France, in 1830. He also bought another factory in Fontainebleau, then moved it to Avon in 1851. The company went out of business in 1862. The company’s early ware sold well, but in later years the firm concentrated on making Meissen and other copies. It made small figures and vases less than 6 inches high. The work in the 1850s was of lower quality and was less popular. But today Jacob Petit perfume bottles are favorites of perfume bottle collectors, and there seem to be a few in every perfume bottle auction. Many are unmarked. The best-known mark is the underglaze letters “JP” in blue or incised. Other marks are “JP” with a dot below and

For every rose there’s a thorn — or a pest
R
EAD ABOUT ROSES, talk to other gardeners about growing them, and insect and disease problems seem inevitable. And so they were with my roses, and most especially with the hybrid teas. Disease problems began back in the middle of spring, with chewed leaves. No great harm resulted, except that the plants, once proud with lush and green new leaves, began to look ragged. All the worse because the two particular plants that had been attacked stare me in the face, saying hello each morning across the glass sliders as they flank the step down from my terrace. The culprit here was rose chafer, a tan beetle with long, spiny legs. Fortunately, the chafer is up and about for only three or four weeks. I sat out the damage, and perky, new leaves have since embraced the chewed ones. In bad years, handpicking, a temporary cheesecloth fence, or insecticide spray could be called for. Aphids followed upon the heels of the chafers, congregating, as they are wont to do, at the tips of stems. Too bad for the aphids, because perched out there on the stems they are easy to crush between thumb and forefinger or to blast away with a stream
of water from the hose. Even if you ignore aphids, they often disappear due to disease and predators before
yellowed areas. I do claim some responsibility for my roses’ relative freedom from black spot disease.
preventing spores from wafting up to infect new leaves. Other problems might also plague roses.
The list of potential rose problems goes on: spider mites, blight, scale insects, and cankers, to name a few. Water sprays, pruning shears, summer oil sprays, and pruning shears again are, respectively, among the many ways to deal with each of these problems. doing significant damage. I really should not complain about pests on my roses, though, because I rarely see the two that are most dreaded by rose growers everywhere. The first is Japanese beetle, causing similar damage as the chafer except that it and its handiwork become most evident later, about now. Plucking or knocking beetles off plants into soapy water in the cool of the morning checks this beast, as do pesticides, of course. Milky spore disease or nematodes, both of which you can buy, provide biological control. I can’t claim responsibility for the absence of Japanese beetles in my garden. They either don’t emigrate here or are here but being laid low by some predator or disease unknown to me. Black spot disease is the other big problem threatening roses everywhere. The name tells all: black spots on the leaves which, as leaves die, are surrounded by
Fungi are more particular than are insects about what varieties of rose they attack, and, when choosing varieties to grow, I aim for those shunned by the black spot fungus. Cleaning up infected leaves at the end of the season also helps get rid of next year’s sources of infection. Annual mulch covers infected leaves that I might have overlooked,

Rugs made from 100% silk have a shiny finish. The knots are smaller and denser than those on wool rugs, making intricate designs clearer. Rugs made from 100% silk have a shiny finish.

Long-term U.S. mortgage rates rise to 3.81% U.S. long-term mortgage rates rose this week after three weeks of holding steady, tipped higher by expectations that the Federal Reserve could reduce interest rates soon. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday the average rate on the benchmark 30-year mortgage increased to 3.81% from 3.75% the week before. Those are historically low levels for the key rate, which a year ago stood at 4.52% The average rate for 15-year, fixedrate home loans ticked up to 3.23% from 3.22% the previous week.

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell sent a strong signal Tuesday that the central bank’s monetary policymakers are prepared to cut its benchmark interest rate for the first time in a decade. While the U.S. labor market remains strong, uncertainty is deepening amid slowing global economic growth and trade tensions, Powell said at a Paris economic conference. Powell’s statements in a similar vein to Congress last week pushed the stock market to record highs and heightened expectations that the Fed will move to cut rates as soon as

Many economists believe the Fed will cut its benchmark rate, currently in a range of 2.25% to 2.5%, by a quarter-point at the July meeting and another quarter-point in September. Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country between Monday and Wednesday each week to compile its mortgage rate figures. The average doesn’t include extra fees, known as points, which most

Space the Big Blue plants 16- to 18-inches apart. Depending on your space I would use three to five in an informal cluster or sweep. They do, however, work quite well in straight line endeavors. In the South, they will hit 36-inches tall by the end of summer. Though I have touted how drought tolerant they are, do pay attention during prolonged dry spells, watering deeply but infrequently. Start feeding with light applications of slow-released fertilizer about every six to eight weeks with the emergence of spring growth. Keep the flowers deadheaded for a tidy appearance and to increase flower production. These salvias look like the quintessential cottage garden flowers. Combine them with

SOUTH HADLEY
In the garden world, round flowers like zinnias, marigolds, and even petunias often dominate. You can almost draw an imaginary horizontal plane or line across the top of your bed. But it’s flowers like Big Blue that rise up above that imaginary line with their glorious spikes of color and create a real show-stopping moment. Select a site in full sun for best flower performance. Fortunately, these genera of salvia are tolerant of wide varieties in soil pH. From this standpoint, anyone can grow it. However, like all salvias, they prefer good drainage, especially if you want a return from winter. For this reason, I like to plant on raised beds loosened with organic matter.
