Strong Market for a Fabric of a Different Sort

There is a strong market for this fabric.  It's upholstery weight, 5000 double rubs.

Looking forward to using this  for Cornices, Roman Shades, Pillows and Occasional  Chairs.

Give us a call if you'd like to order a sample.

Let's Talk about the Small Stuff

This window treatment was Simply Southern.    I'd like to share with you the small stuff that made the big picture so pretty.

First of all this is a very soft satin.  The leafy floral design is printed on the fabric.

Using satin allowed me to pull the rosette tieback 
tight without pinching and puckering the drape.

The rosette is highlighted by it's placement

just beneath the light source.

Instead of Roller Shades or Sheers

let's use Balloon Shades!

This semi-sheer fabric still allows light to enter the room. 


 Click on this picture to enlarge and see how wide the balloon panels really are.
The shades are lined for added privacy and to protect the delicate embroidery.









Balloon shades can be very intrusive, so think about placing them inside of the window frames.




    Imagine this window treatment in
your dressing room!

Small Budget for Decorating?

Let's do a little at a time.

A very simple wood pole from the hardware store, a pretty floral from Lady Ann Fabrics and a small tasselled fringe from the remnant pile.

A little fresh paint and upholstery remnants.

Pillows Should Be Fun!

London Shade Remake

This family wanted to reuse custom window treatments made for their previous home.  We sewed 2 shades together to create this one larger shade.  What do you think of the finished product? 

 

I love the way the custom cabinets and cornice

seem to embrace and welcome the remake.

Let us take your existing curtains and we'll make
 beautiful custom treatments

What to do with Your Ready Made Curtains?

How about a do-over!

On occasion I'll run into a client who absolutely loves the print on her ready made curtains or panels.  The one draw back is that it is lacking
style and creativity. 

We used the stripe from the valances in the dining area to create the piping and ties for this

Scallop Topped, Boxed Pleated Tie Tab Valance. 

Wow, I guess we combined several styles to bring this one to life.

If we would have left this valance to be gathered on a rod like the factory intended, you would have not been able to enjoy the little

 Italian pizza guys!
