Lynn's Lambrequins

Not many home owners are daring enough to commission lambrequines. 
 Lambrequins are cornices that frame the window on the sides as well as on the top.

The face fabric is a print and the sides are upholstered with a rust chenille. 
Notice how the rust chenille is also covering the inside of the lambrequins legs. 
You can see it there on the right.
The rust colored fabric is a nice compliment on the gold walls.  It really helps lift and separate the lambrequins from the walls.


We had to measure for a perfect fit.
It needed to touch the chair rail.



Jackie, the interior designer who hired me to build and cover the lambrequins currently resides in Williamsburg, VA and owns a furniture and design store there.

I loved working on this project!

Bridging the Gap Between Drapery Panels and Matchstick Blindes

Sandra had a great idea to bridge the disunity between her reeded roman blinds and her new custom drapery panels.   
She had me add some of  the fabric from the panels
as a boarder on the blind installed on the door.

I also lined the blinds for privacy.
Great idea Sandra!
I'm sure other homeowners will want to do the same.
I enjoyed working with you.
