    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.

Sheffield valance

This dinette window needed some tender loving care.  There wasn’t much room to hang anything too heavy looking above the window since there was only inches to spare.  This contemporary floral was just the ticket.  A creamy background kept the Sheffield valance light, the blues and greens added pattern and color and the jabots came down to the mid way mark to frame the beautiful backyard.  This is a board mounted Sheffield valance hung right at the soffit for a clutter free look.

drapery panels

This dining room needed some character, some softness and some charm.  Keeping the color scheme neutral we used a white linen and added a ribbon trim along the leading edges.  The pinch pleated draperies were hung on an antique silver drapery rod with rings with some contemporary trumpet finials.  The ribbon trim picked up the antique silver hues and gave definition to the drapery panels.  Altogether we have achieved a winning look.

board mount valanceGive your overnight guests a warm welcome.  This board mounted valance hung at the soffit for a clutter free installation has full gathers peeking out behind the openings.  The warm soft hues were taken from the bedding.  Faux wood blinds allow for sun control and privacy when needed.

    Is it possible to ask for a pattern and instructions on the above valance?
