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.

A roman valance with stationary panels.
The roman valance is custom made to cover the track of the vertical blinds while the stationary panels are ready made.
The stationary panels were purchased extra long and the excess fabric was cut off and used to make ties for the valance tying in the entire treatment. The mounting board projects out enough to allow the drapery panels to hang freely without interfering with the working of the vertical blinds. Bring your beautiful, colorful gardens indoors for year round summer style. Adorn your windows in your favorite floral print and pair it with a coordinating contrast.
The same button back valance with a couple of extra pleats to make up for the additional width of the kitchen door wall, hides the vertical blind track and give the illusion of a taller doorway. Stationary side panels are attached to the mounting board to cover up the vertical blind stats when they are open.
A king size headboard covered in Charlotte Moss Fabrics, in this instance the pattern is Caroline and the color is Pool. A wonderful splash of color in a bedroom (or might I say an oasis) of tranquility and peace. The bedskirt and pinch pleated drapery panels in a muted striped fabric with a wonderful gross grain 1 1/2″ trim along the bottom edge. Window hardware from Restoration Hardware.
Your back yard, do you enjoy spending time in it? Does it inspire you? Is it the go-to place in your neighborhood? You have a swimming pool, lovely gardens, lounge chairs, a barbecue, fire pit, but what’s missing? You need an inviting place for people to gather, for people to sit and enjoy your back yard. You want the kids to invite their friends over to your house because you have the coolest house and backyard in the neighborhood. Make you pergola inviting, your cabanas a place to sit and relax in. You’ll wish that summer never ends.
Cabana beds.
Roman shade, a traditional favorite. They provide insulation and careful control of light; strength and durability are also among their characteristics. A roman shade is a clever and modern piece of window furnishing that operates on a simple cording system. The roman shade pulls up into a series of folds, one upon the other and when down, the shade is usually a flat area of fabric covering the window space.
This design provides an element not so much of texture, but more of color with great graphic impact turning this small window into a piece of art.
