My client has expensive ugly satin scarf/swag draperies that were installed in the 1970s and are in good condition. I can't convince her to replace or remove them. They cover the entire length of a large living room, all glass.

Here's my challenge: They currently have these atrocious fabric ruffled rosettes, about 18 inches across, at the corners, necessary to cover the seaming.

I think I will add some trim/fringe/cording to update the swags but don't know what to do with these corners. Need something BIG. Any ideas?

Thank you!

welcome to the boards!! And what a challenge!! Are you able to post pictures? I would take your pictures and post this same question over on the GenDecorating Board. There will be lots of suggestions, and if you have pictures, we can see better...

Thanks, Becca. I will do that tomorrow. (Looks like we share a name!)

Well, I think 35+ years of use are enough for the price they paid.

I think you should insist on having them replaced or removed.

I agree. But they are in their 80s and just don't want to do it at this point in their lives.

Can someone tell me how to post a photo? Thanks!
