Challenging Window


This window is in a guest bedroom. Can you guess how long those swags are? From the peak to the bottom of the swags is 6 feet. Each swag is mounted on a 6 foot board. These were some massive swags! This window treatment framed the clients view of a river beautifully.

Antique French Carvings


What do you do with those antique French carvings that you proudly display on your wall above your sliding glass door? Accentuate them with fabric! Look what I can do. :P
This is one of my favorite window treatments. The client was enraptured.

1st Place Home Theater


Oh, what a delight to visit this client's house. The plan was to design a home theater that resembled one of the old theaters from the 1920's. One of the client's friends encouraged them to enter this theater into a national competition, and he reluctantly did so. Well, what do you know, he won 1st place. There are 4 layers to this treatment, and 2 of the layers are motorized. The first layer is the swags, the second layer is a straight valance, the third layer are motorized drapery panels, and the 4th layer is a motorized balloon shade. Most everything in this room is vintage or a reproduction, and it truly takes them back to the good ol' days, and they are living happily in their retirement.

Pattern Drafting Services

In addition to making draperies, I also offer pattern drafting services for other professional drapery workrooms. Here is a photograph of a completed window treatment from a pattern that I drafted for a workroom in Sarasota, FL. The designer wanted an arched Waterfall Swag treatment with specific long points and short points. As you can see, my pattern allowed the other workroom to create a beautiful window treatment, and the client was very happy.
