Dressed for Summer

I've been wanting to dress up our entry with a pair of black & white striped Sunbrella panels to give it the look of a cabana.

I purchased this pair a few weeks ago from Ballard Designs but couldn't quite decide on the drapery hardware.

After shopping online and checking out all my haunts and salvage yards, I was still at a loss.

My friend Lisa suggested I look for an old piece of wrought iron  but that was easier said than done.

Finding the length I needed proved impossible.

And then it dawned on me... what about a classic  bamboo pole!

I made another trip back to the salvage yard which yielded a pair of what I think are vintage receipt holders.

My husband and I found these wonderful pieces of wood...

while out on our morning walks.

And Voila!

So...

I'd love to know,

What do you think?
