    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.

Striped fabric is ideal for a roman valance.  Since the folds are horizontal they don’t interfere with the stripes.  A bias cord was added along the top edge made from the same stripe but bringing out a little more detail and contrast ties finish off this treatment.  A little trick of the trade – use a lock seam rod inside the bottom fold to not only help weigh it down but to keep the corners from flaring as well.

With beautiful lake house views, who would want to cover up the windows? Not here, we’ve enhance the windows and the view by adding stationary panels right up beyond the top of the windows and adding a swag of color to the top.  And it’s all cinched together neatly with a tassel.  Not only does this treatment frame the beautiful lake view but also brings your eyes up to the second story and gives scale to the great room.
