    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.

Tables covered with skirts are a perfect alternative to a traditional nightstand. The covered tables are economical and still offer hidden storage. The fabric gives the room texture and softness that can’t be achieved  with a wooden nightstand. The round shape also offers versatility to the rectangular pieces of bedroom suite.  This table skirt was interlined with a soft flannel  to add softness and body to the table

The Roman shade is a very versatile valance. This valance style allows for a variety of fabric choices and room styles. The tailored design works well with traditional, transitional or even contemporary styles. The horizontal folds allow the use of a checked pattern, a stripe, solid or a pattern motif.  This valance is accented with a flat panel tie and solid green fabric covered button. The green in the fabric is also used on the wall paint color and the top down bottom up pleated shade creating a cohesive look.

This beautifully coordinated spare bedroom welcomes tired guests. The pinch pleated drapery panels give the room a calm finishing touch. The panels in a neutral check pattern coordinate with the wallpaper and blanket, blending together in perfect harmony. The pinch pleated drapery panels are hung from a metal decorative rod, which plays off the color of the iron beds. The coordinated metal rings allow the drapery panels to be hung at floor length, perfect for both the size and height of the window and room. The shade offers light and privacy control when needed.Truly this room makes your home a haven for guests.

A padded cornice board covered in a large floral fabric is a stylish complement to this kitchen window. To achieve a visual impact sometimes a simple style works best. The straight shape of the cornice doesn’t dominate the treatment, but instead accentuates the floral pattern, giving the window just the right amount of visual interest.  Hung above the window just below the crown moulding the cornice lets the sunlight warm up the room, adds height to the window and allows the backyard to be enjoyed.

    I want a simple cornice board for my patio doors (101″ x 8″) and two simple valances (44″ x 8″). Can you make those, and how much would you charge?
    Thank you,

Not sure what contemporary style is? When using the term contemporary, one is referring to a style that combines a variety of styles that were developed in the latter half of the 20th century. Stark lines used in modern styles are softened and rounded in the contemporary style. Neutral elements and bold color are often used in contemporary interiors, with a concentration on shape, form and lines. This contemporary bedroom uses a tone-on-tone color palette of taupe, cream, gold and pure white. The custom made pillows and bed runner give this contemporary room elegance and softness. The textured fabric choice for the accent pillows and bed runner allows the neutral color palette to accentuated.  Motorized roller blinds can be raised and lowered at the touch of a finger allowing for a good nights sleep and privacy when needed.
