I immediately pictured dupioni silk in one of the rich color/drapes available over a bamboo blind. That was after 20 seconds of thinking, so idea are not fully flushed - and are incluenced by my own projects.
I just bought a piece of bronze/gold/red dupioni silk with embroidered bees on it in the Garmet District. I will be making a valance over a 6' wide dining room window and replacing the metal blinds with wood. I also bought a remnant of dupioni silk for a runner for my buffet which sits below the window.
