Cafe' Curtain Comeback


Cafe" Curtains are making a Comeback!



 
The reemergence of cafe' panels is no surprise to me.  

* They require very little fabric

* They allow you to have some privacy at the same time giving you the ability to nosy out a bit

* They're both simple and  CUTE! CUTE!





You can pair them with a pleated valance or with a cornice.



Give us a call, 571-212-6177. We're looking forward to working with you and making your next window treatment project.

Euro Pleats and Acrylic Rods

Hello!  I haven't blogged in a while.  We've been very busy working with wonderfully talented designers thereby bringing  beautifully designed creations to life.



Check out this beautiful grasscloth wallpaper! The Drapery Shop had nothing to do with the wallpaper but I thought I'd point it out anyway because I LOVE IT! And isn't the trim banding we sewed on the drapery magnificent?




We lined this linen with a liner that prevents any light from filtering though.  It keeps the color true day or night.

No need for me to comment on the acrylic rod. Just seeing it is commentary enough.


Bon Appétit... Ciao

Best Coral Smile!

I call this Valance  "Best Coral Smile" We made the valance  to mimic a relaxed Roman shade for a little girls room.  The drop in the center seems to just smile at you.  It's such a Happy  window covering.  
The relaxed Roman valance requires very little fabric.  You can actually get by with 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 yards.  Give us a call 703-551-2929 to take a look at our remnants and bring a smile to your room.

The Drapery Shop with Stanley Martin Homes

The Drapery Shop had the pleaser of partnering with Stanley Martin Homes.  We created all of the lovely window coverings in their Lindsey single family home model, Bradlee Square, Manassas VA.
In the morning room we used a navy, aqua and white paisley from Premier Prints.
I just love the perfect pleating!



The study pictured below is calming and comfy with mint and white fabric and paint.



The family room drapery are ivory with cobalt bandings

A Master at Drapery Installs

Our master installer is also our master drapery maker. 


Here Chris is adding extra support to ripple fold ceiling tracks.
Quite often Chris will run through and hang the rods and I'll be on an additional ladder hanging the drapery as he moves on to the next window.

 


 We install 90% of the window coverings we make.

Belgium Linen Drapery Panels

I love the way this rod travels around the room seamlessly but the less than perfect finish on the imported linen troubled me a bit.

Belgium linen has to be handled very carefully.  It seems as though it will wrinkle out of spite just because you LOOK at it.  Ugh!  
I've since learned that clients expect the imperfect finish and they like a little wrinkling.
