The question is always, "How long should my jabots be? " The answer is simple. Do you want a classic, formal room or more casual feel. As you can see, Marie chose formal. I think she new exactly what she was doing. We suggested joining the swags with a pellmet in the corner and it opens up the space beautifully. Cadence vertical blinds by Hunter Douglas are hung under the swags and soften the windows while giving the room the soft light Marie wanted.
