I had been saving vintage French monogrammed sheets for years, with the intention of having them made into window shades. When I moved into another home, Kathryn was able to improve on my idea by revamping the sheets so that the monogram was highlighted. All of the renovations I did on my new/old house, I am most pleased with these shades. When I look at them every morning I'm reminded of the many wonderful times spent in France.
