    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.

beaded bamboo curtain

Beaded curtains can add a light and airy feel to your home’s decor.  These curtains are made from bamboo so they are unique and beautiful a piece of art you might say.  They are a perfect blend of art and beauty. This hand-woven curtain is made up from bamboo chains.  Stylish is the first word which comes in mind when you see it. A rare piece of art and design and the best thing is that it doesn’t take a lot of effort to keep it clean. All you have to do is wipe it with a cloth and it will shine. Bamboo has an aesthetic appeal, it is totally durable and can be cleaned easily.  Very nicely stained and textured it’s easy to use and hang.  A beautiful blend of imagination, enthusiasm and art.

Two tone petal valance , elegance at it’s finest!  Two coordinating fabrics are used to create this stunning window treatment.  The petals, trimmed in a coordinating fabric are layered onto a mounting board.  Each petal is made individually, then overlapped together on the board.  They can be stapled onto the board but in this case they are sewn together then attached to the board with hook and loop tape.

mirrored window

If you don’t have a window in your room and have always wanted one, purchase a mirrored window from your local big box store.  They come in many shapes and sizes as well as finishes.  In this basement room a six paned stained mirrored window was hung and a swag was put over it as if it were a real window.  The light in the room reflects into the mirror adding brightness to the room.

cornice board

A cornice is a great window treatment for a home office.  It is clean and tailored and can be shaped and embellished in a multitude of ways.

In this instance a textured upholstery fabric with a small dot pattern was used for the main body of the cornice and paisley ties were added to coordinate with a chair that was in the room.  The deep rich colors of the cornice brought balance to the room.  Fabric covered buttons finish the treatment.
