Drapery...Artful or Practical?

I am loving drapery lately, more than I ever have.

When I went through my fabric everywhere phase, 
It started to feel like things were collecting too much dust, 
but I think if you stay vigilant about washing or 
dry cleaning your fabrics, it adds adds polish, and elegance... 
Whether they are in a traditional setting, or more modern,
they are similar to a scarf on ones neck.
They add a certain sophistication that cannot be 
met with blinds, my friends.
They are like sunglass huts, all of those blind shacks, or blind
"specialist" stores...They need to stop giving so many discounts, and go 
make themselves some drapes...


What is your opinion of Drapery? Love it or Hate it?
