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.

Silver, silver-gray, gunmetal, slate,charcoal, smoky, anything but cloudy or dull. These roman shades in a silver-gray shadow stripe are just what is needed in the corner over the kitchen sink to control that sunlight and allow for privacy when needed. Here we have a large bay window in the dinette with nine foot ceilings. A very expansive room. The walls are painted a warm caramel color and the views need to stay unubstructive. A continuous sheffield valance is mounted above the transom window covering the tracks of the honeycomb blinds, when needed. The sheffield valance adds softness, style and pattern to this nook. The window over the kitchen sink was not forgotten with a matching sheffield valance.
The number one ingredient in any successful window composition is imagination.
We used a sheer jute to construct the tab top drapery panels and edged them in a deep chocolate brown gross grain ribbon. The tab tops as well as the tie back were also made out of the same ribbon giving the drapes that pop and framing the beautiful views. Hung over a painted white wooden rod with simple ball finials finished the room.
