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.
There is no need for a patterned fabric here, we made our own pattern by banding some ties in a contrast color and adding a fabric covered button. This upholstered cornice board adds balance and bulk to the room topping it off perfectly.
Bring your draperies up to the second story and you won’t be disappointed. When you hang draperies down too low (ie the first floor windows) you loose the fact that you have these tall ceilings. And that’s what you paid for isn’t it? Privacy and sun control was taken care of with the horizontal blinds and the stationary drapery panels add softness to the room. A more modern inverted box pleat was used on the header of the draperies. Since there was only a few inches on the outside edges of the windows, the rod was butted up against the side wall and a simple end cap was used. Now the drapes bring your eyes up and out to see those beautiful trees and mother nature at her glory.
Adding fabric to your windows gives your room a whole new look. A Sheffield valance with strategically placed jabots frame the beautiful lake views. The treatment was hung many inches above the windows so as not to take any light or view away. The pattern was carried thru each section adding to that custom look. This is an easy renovation update.
A bold, modern dining room needs a bold window treatment and we didn’t disappoint. An upholstered cornice board along with stationary drapery panels fills the room. We installed it at the ceiling bringing your eye up to the beautiful woodwork. Sheer drapery panels were also added for privacy and sun control.
Are you looking for a custom headboard? This paneled headboard was made up of 36″ X 18″ upholstered panels affixed to the wall using hook and loop tape. We extended the panels beyond the sides of the bed, encompassing the side tables and lamps giving the bed it’s own space within the room. The bedroom now has a bold, modern vibe.
Custom upholstered cornices hung at the ceiling add height the 8′ room and the drapery panels help anchor it.
