I LOVE Palladian Windows! Here is where I will insert some useless info about Palladian Windows that y'all may or may not have known. Palladian Windows are derived from Palladian Architecture which is a European Architecture derived from designs of the Venetian architect Andrea Palladio. Palladio's work was strongly based on symmetry, perspective, and values of the formal classical temple architecture of the Ancient Greeks and Romans. His work quickly became known as Palladianism. Now that I feel like I just finished a paper for my college Lit class I must give credit to Wikipedia for this vault of knowledge! |
Beautiful pics, Pamela! I love the drapes hung above the window but have it going just under ours - we call it an "eyebrow" window because it runs the width of our two double hung windows and is a separate piece from them. I like the bedroom with the plaid drapes and would probably go that route myself. They do make rods for those palladian windows. I think JC Penney carries them and the sheers that go inside the window.
ReplyDeletePamela, I have one on the front sitting room and one in my great room and neither one are covered. I love these windows too and that is why we had them added to our house. Oh, I also have a small one over the front door.
ReplyDeleteThose windows are so beautiful, it seems a shame to cover them.

Charming yet classic, indeed! Your house will look better with those Palladian window styles. Though they look simple, the aura they give from the outside is outstanding. And when you take a look from the inside out, you'll really feel added value these windows bring.
