Slip Covers

Slip Covers are a great way to reclaim old furniture.

If you really love your furniture

and you find a fabric you really love then let's introduce the two.

If you want a more upholstered look,  I can make your Slip Cover fit like a glove.

Stop! don't throw out his Old Recliner. Let's make a slipcover.

Kitchens

I seem to get more request to do kitchens than anything else.

It's said that the kitchen is the "Heart of the Home"

Here are a few of my favorites. Enjoy!

This is a London Shade.
Do you notice a particular color theme?

this design is credited to designer Sherry Tyra

Yellows and golds are friendly and cheerful.
Reds are warm and inviting!


These are Roman Shades designer Leatha Robinson

Boxed Pleated Valances


Green says I'm here, and always will be.

To me green speaks of security.

Here are some reasons to consider a cornice:

If you find a piece of fabric that you just love and you only have a few yards then consider a cornice.

Do you want to show off the pattern or print on your fabric?

Choose a cornice.

Want to add just a little bit of a pattern in your room?
A Cornice!
And why not add shape to the bottom?
Make it interesting. Make it you!

Explain This!

No need to go to the gym when I can get my workout climbing ladders and stretching to dress swags.

No this is not a Dream. This is a nursery designed by interior designer Darcy Justen. The Drapery Shop made the bed skirt and bumper pads.




Isn't this unusual? There is no window in this bathroom, so "plan B"

Guest House

This Client in Oak Hill Virginia has opened her home as a Bed and Breakfast.

This charming home is filled with beautiful toiles, lots of wallpaper and really pretty fabrics.

The fabric was custom designed by the client. The art is done on a computer program and then sent to the fabric printer in North Carolina

The Drapery Shop made the canopy, window treatments, headboard and bedding.

As you can see, each home has a unique style. After a short interview it's easy for me to interpret the style and create a design that's specific to each clients taste.

This A-symmetrical pole swag is perfectly pretty!

We help you select your fabric and then the treatment style. It's important that the fabric and choice of application are compatible.

The Same - Yet Different

These 3 window Valances are the same, yet different. Each home has it's particular style, so each window treatment must meet the clients taste and objectives.

The goal was to create something Pretty and to not block much light.

Each client like swags but wanted to move away from the traditional standards.

This particular valance uses less fabric than other swagged styles.

The Drapery Shop can take 1 design and customize it 1000 ways.

This red valance was commissioned by Barbara Quast of Beese Quast Design.

All of these are kitchen valances.
