Fringe...or no fringe???

I made these window treatments a few weeks ago and the trim on the bottom barely shows. I guess I just didn't want to spend $8-$10 yd for fringe.
So, I found some on sale and I can't decide if I like it - - it can easily be removed!
Better - or not?

I'm joining Between Naps on the Porch again for Met Monday...join the party - or just visit to see what changes are going on in blogland!

  1. I know why does have trim have to be sooo expensive.
    I like it. It really makes your treatment pop! Great job on the treatment. Oh how I wish I could sew.
    Happy weekend to ya!

  2. You did a great job on the window treatments. I like the clean lines of the treatment without the fringe. I am ususally a fringe kinda gal but not in this case.

  3. I would normally like fringe too - - - but in this case, I LOVE the "understated" first trim. The window treatment is simple, and therefore I think it needs a simple trim.

    I LOVE that top picture.

    But - - - what do I know of decorating, I'm a self-confessed eclectic, NOT a decorator.

  4. Hi Patti,
    I'm no expert in this department but I'm leaning towards the new fringe. I keep rolling back and forth between the pictures and like the bling that the fringe adds to the window treatment. Looks like a good match to the wall color too.
    Have a great weekend.

  7. Thanks for stopping by my blog! I'm torn between both. The first one has a classic look, but the second one is more fun. I don't think you can go wrong either way!

  9. I like it with the trim, but then I'm a trim nut, so I would lean that way!

  10. I'm not a fringe type (though I had lived on the fringe for a long time, hehe) but yes, that works. I like the contrast between the valance color and the fringe.

    Awesome!

  11. So many different opinions! LOL! I like it without the fringe. You did such a great curve on the valance and I think that shows better without it. I'm normally a fringe gal, but in this case I like the simplicity. I hope you'll post when you decide! Lisa~ www.livingmybestlifeii-lisa.blogspot.com
