Let's Pick Out Some Drapes!

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

Checked a couple of decorators and found a couple of drapery samples for the offices of our new Democratic representatives. Vote for your favorite!

1. Perp Walk Plaid. A cheerful pattern sure to brighten any Democrat's day.


2. The KickAss & Chenille. This cozy curtain is ready to kick ass and take names (and turn them over to the DOJ).


3. Impeachment Brocade. Elegant pattern repeats a constant reminder of every Democrat's patriotic duty.


4. Suitable Stripes. At the office or in the cell block, stripes are always de rigeur.


5. Open Honest Lace. Lace lets in sunlight and fresh air - great for returning transparency to government.

1. I just love them ALL!!

Good thing there's plenty of windows up there on the Hill!

[Bullwinkle925]

2. I go for the brocade - followed closely by the stripes.

[babylonsister]

3. But dahling, will the carpet match?

:rofl: (reference to Olbermann for those who didn't see him)

4. He's a sly one

Good thing I wasn't drinking anything when he said that - it would have come out my nose.

5. snicker . . .

;)

6. I knee jerk voted for

the Impeach drapes but I really like that "Open Honest Lace", too..

The corporatemedia needs some those drapes. If we had an honest media there would be no bush.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

13. Know what you mean

When I added the Lace option I considered it just a throwaway at first. There's nothing funny about it like the others. But then I realized that's exactly why it fits. Open and honest is what we really need.

:hi:

7. As a (trying to recover) avid decorator ...

... this thread is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!

Kudos for such a clever idea!

(And obviously we're going to need new drapes -- apparently Laura took all of the existing ones and had them made into outfits to wear in her photo-ops.)

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

10. ROFL!

:spray:

[NanceGreggs]

16. Oh.My.God.

There goes the window treatment that once graced the Lincoln bedroom!

[upi402]

17. Oh yeah, it's halloween and the zombies are looking shiny, happy!

"Feed me the brains now, I need brains"


That pic is a classic.
:rofl:

[LTR]

45. AHHHHHHH BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I'm dyin' over here!

:rofl:

Dammit, those ARE the Lincoln Bedroom drapes!!!

[Lugnut]

21. Darn!

I wish we could recommend individual posts. ;)

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

8. I've ten yards of silk brocade

I won on eBay I'm willing to send! Still on the roll 5 years after being won.

[bleever]

9. Help! I can't decide!

:rofl:

Nice work.

[Deb]

11. Looks like DUers can make the drapes!

No kidding, I just finished my drape tie backs tonight, a great French brocade.

I would suggest thermal lining for National Security and energy saving reasons. :-)

VERY cute idea! I'm a fabric "Queen" so this goes straight to my heart.

[blondeatlast]

12. Air and sunlight in our lovely nation's capital; definitely the open

honest lace for me, but I'll be happy with any or all of them.

After all, there will be plenty of new offices to spruce up (once we get the stench out!).

[Gregorian]

14. Hey what is this? B3TA?

Oh, I'll take a few yards of the Perp Walk Plaid. It does clash with my Hague Herringbone sofa.

YAY!

[The Magistrate]

15. Impeachment Brocade Seems The People's Choice, Dear

My favorite as well, though the plaid and the stripes have definite points. They are all great, though, and decorating is in your hands in any case....

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

23. Yep

I knew when I was working on it that the brocade was the best. I used a real brocade photo and it just looks better.

Well, I learned years ago that I wasn't cut out to be a designer. Guess I'll just have to stick to selling dog food.

"Dogs love it!"

[lonestarnot]

18. I vote that this is the best post of the week!

[The Magistrate]

19. I Second That, Sir

[NanceGreggs]

22. I THIRD that (????)

(If there is such a thing)

GREAT POST; clever, original, and compliments virtually any poltically-themed decor!



:kick:

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

29. Very happy you enjoyed it

Many thanks!

[lonestarnot]

44. My pleasure!

[flamingyouth]

20. LOL

This is really great. :thumbsup:

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

25. Muchas gracias! :D n/t

[Bluebear]

24. HOW CAN I CHOOSE ONE!!!!!1111

What a brilliant post!

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

40. You're too kind

giving me a chance to push my thread back up. Any time I spend hours of amateur grade, hunt 'n peck photoshopping just for the sake of a laugh, I like to keep it kicked for at least 24 hours.

But honestly, I do appreciate your nice words.

Though I'm only responding for the kick.

Really, I'm glad you liked it.

If only because I can reply.

No kidding, thanks again.

For the kick.

[Red Right and BLUE]

26. The Impeachment brocade is DEVIIIIIIINE nt

[Raine]

27. The KickAss & Chenille

I want their asses kicked right out of Washington! :evilgrin:

[Nicole]

28. The Impeachment Brocade is lovely

but I wouldn't want our guys to have to look at that face daily. :P
So I voted for the The KickAss Chenille.

[Sugarcoated]

30. LOLOLOLOLOL

I went for the lace, but they're all great.

[wildeyed]

31. Fun post.

Thanks for the laugh!

[Sabriel]

32. Is the plaid offered in different patterns and colors?

I could see a whole line of that.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

38. I just happened to come across a few more samples

It appears there are variations to complement every decor, if not political ideology. :D

[In_The_Wind]

33. I favor the Brocade in the sitting room and Stripes in the dinning room.

[npincus]

34. you've got my respect!

being in the design profession myself, your patterns are excellent.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

36. Thank you, that means a lot!

I have always considered myself hobbled by the hobgoblin of symmetry, which I find soothing to my tidy little mind, but which I am told is boring or lacks dynamism. But in pattern making I can give it full rein. :D

[npincus]

37. you've got talent.

tuck these in your portfolio, sistah!

[Califooyah Operative]

35. hahaha

awesome.

[CrispyQ]

39. Wonderful thread!

Personally, I love them all! Thank you for brightening my day!

:hi:

:kick:

[Xenotime]

41. Something buckshot would be nice too.

[rosesaylavee]

42. I'll take the lace for my windows

but will use the others as special paper to wrap special gifts for *co this holiday season!

Best laugh this week!

[Hugin]

43. Have you got anything to go with a "Swamp Drainer"?

I hear the Speaker's new office may be equipped with one.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

47. I did find a nice print for the wall

[Imagevision]

46. From a reliable source, Nancy took drape measurements already for new office...
