Windows of Disney

Today I an taking the opportunity to re-post my Disney Window post.  I had fun with this one and I just wanted to revisit it. -Enjoy-

Recently, my hubby came home for a 2 week vacation and we took the kids to Florida.  More specifically, we took them to Disney World.  I have to admit, I was shocked to find all sorts of window coverings lurking around the Magic Kingdom.  And once I was tuned in, I couldn't look away. 

These were the first curtains that caught my eye, a cute little eyelet cafe curtain with a scooped and pleated top.  You can find these at Casey's on Main Street.

It is no secret I love cafe curtains and pinch pleats.  I will admit that eyelet has not been on my radar for a while, but I must say I will be reconsidering it as a fabric choice now.  The brass would not be my first choice, but here it is a bit weathered, I could work with that.  Here they are from the back.

These next ones were in one of the gift shops, they are another cafe-ring style, but instead of pleats they have a double gathered header.  I am quite interested in these.

 Here is how they topped the window.

And from the outside.

There were also a takes on Austrian shade valances, below they topped it with a double rod pocket sheer.  I liked seeing the combo of the 2 treatments.

There was a bit of tassels being used.  I am sure this was intentional as Main Street USA was designed to resemble an American town at the turn of the century (1900's), putting it in the Victorian era and the prime time for use of trim and tassels.

We also spent some time over at Epcot.

In Epcot France I spotted these top window treatments for arched windows.

It looks like they are reversed box pleated with a gathered trim.

And there were some more scalloped topped cafe curtains, this time in lace.

Over at Epcot United Kingdom, I spied simple curtains for the tea shop door.

And even more scalloped topped cafe curtains.  These were much shorter and heavier in a mustard velvet fabric.

The fancy-schmancy shop had these lovely lace curtains and a velvet pelmet.

And I would be remiss if I didn't show the ceiling.

My last stop in the tour of windows at Disney was at Epcot Norway.

We did not make it into the Askerhus to dine with the Princesses, but I did spot the lace curtains.

The simple lace panels are made a bit more formal by the addition of the sunbursts in the arched windows.  And personally I love them next to the stone work.

I also was taken by the 3/4 lace panels used here.

Usually placed to cover the bottom, here it has been reversed. I like it -  A lot.

Some of the other items that struck me in Epcot Norway was this door. Both the carving and ironwork are stunning.

And of course any good Scandinavian could not walk by the rosemaling and not take notice.  I am no exception.

So there you have it.  Even at Disney, I am unable to keep my mind off decorating.  I am sure many people thought I was crazy as I walked in and took a picture of the curtains.  Please tell me I am not the only one who does this.
