Polly’s Problem Brighten a room with contrasting fabric bands
Dear Renee asks how to brighten a room without buying new draperies. Polly suggests adding one and a half inch bands in a contrasting color along the inner edges and bottom hems. Three rows of grosgrain ribbon or decorative braid can also lift the look, chosen to really show color.

She notes in the Midwest that food costs during preservation often dominate, with garden gifts and peak-season produce reducing expenses.
