Welcome to my showcase of design ideas and inspiration for custom home décor, flattering window treatments and other soft furnishings. I have been blessed by being invited into many beautiful homes and meeting the nicest people. I am among the fortunate few who truly enjoy a fulfilling and rewarding profession. Thank you for looking at my work.

When the living and dining rooms are both in the same room the window treatments should coordinate. In this instance stationary pinch pleated drapery panels were hung on either side of the dining room window on a common rod. In the living room the same stationary pinch pleated panels were hung on each side of the bay window on each their own rods keeping the window wide open.
Don’t let a small window get in your way. Put in a clean, fresh yet bold look of a cornice. Here we added a small curve along the bottom edge for some softness and a 2″ faux wood shade allows for privacy when needed.
This smocked valance surrounds the sunroom. Made from a checked gold and off-white silk fabric this window treatment is hung from rings on a continuous black iron rod. Notice the textures and patterns as well as the colors in this room. Very quaint and cozy.
Enhance your views don’t cover them up. Cornice boards were created here to serve double duty. First they add to the decor of the room while covering up the shades that are tucked in underneath. These are rather simple cornices as far as the shape of them but 1/2″ nail heads were added along the top and bottom edges to give them some pizzaz. Just picture yourself sitting here with your morning coffee or that afternoon glass of wine. Lake living at it’s best.   cornice boards
Floor to ceiling, monochromatic, elegant – a room with a view. Condo living at it’s finest.
