The difficult dormer window might be 
shaded with an awning painted in blue- 
green stripes on the outside and white 
underneath. This type admits plenty of 
air and reflects light into the room 
A long row of casement windows that 
open in should have one awning shaped 
to keep the long, low line of the win¬ 
dow casing. The awning shown above 
is painted in Venetian red and white 
minim 
A conservative awning for a city 
house might be sand colored 
bound with French blue tape to 
match the painted valance 
Awnings come in a large variety of stripes and 
plain colors or striped on one side and plain 
on the other. The designs are painted and are 
weatherproof. Above is a scalloped valance 
made by cutting out the stripes on the edge 
An interesting awning might have a curved va¬ 
lance bound in bright tape and the insignia 
of the house stenciled in the same color. Above 
is a valance painted in solid green stripes 
alternating with yellow on white ground
