Window treatment from Savannah
I have just got back from Savannah where I was shooting a shopping story, due to be published in March. One of the highlights of the trip was Alex Raskin's antique shop on Monterey Square. The store is in a wonderful house - totally Grey Gardens in its eccentricity and perfect state of decay. I took this picture there. It shows the window treatments in the second floor sitting room - Venetian blinds and thin voile curtains. I thought this was really chic and a very good way to deal with large windows on a budget. Longing to copy this somewhere.

So what's going on to the right of the window -- are there some regular curtains, as well?
Mamacita ... Look very closely ... the curtain on the right-hand side is also voile ... if you look about halfway up, you can see the transparency and the window frame glimpsed through it ...
Southerners are smart. They don't fetishize light the way so many people do.
thank you Clemence for clearing that up. Yes the curtains are both voile.
in savannah, did you happen to make it to argyll and jasper antiques, on e. gordon street?
yes i did! have just finished writing the copy for the savannah story, Argyll and Jasper included, a lovely store.
