A Marriage of Insulating Drapes and Honeycomb Shades

drapes
The draperies we put up as our second layer over the honeycomb shades in the living room are 100% silk with brushed insulating 100% cotton flannel interlining. I bought them at Tuesday Morning. So we have the two layers over the window, and the natural fibers hopefully won't give off any indoor air pollution. They are not as room darkening as the polyester-lined draperies intended for that. So they aren't keeping out quite as much light and therefore heat this summer, but the room is a bit cheerier to walk through in the daytime even with everything all closed up.
