Tomorrow I have an appointment with a client who would like some help with her basement windows.  Hers are very small and near the ceiling of the finished basement.  The windows are currently completely covered by a stagecoach valance and consequently the room is very dark.

I looked through 7 books on window treatments.  I only found ONE picture of a small window, can you believe that?  I found this in House Beautiful Window Workshop.

 I guess it makes sense.  Small windows do not allow enough space for the elaborate treatments usually on display in books and magazines.  Any they certainly don’t photograph well.  But still, they are a decorating reality. 

Any ideas?
