All too often, I see beautiful window treatments hung incorrectly in a room. Hanging window treatments incorrectly is a problem because they look awkward and make your room look smaller than it really is.

For example, when you hang drapes too low with the rod directly above the window the room feels shorter and cramped. In a small space, this makes the room seem even smaller.

I have a friend who loves to decorate her home for every season and holiday. For this reason, she was hesitant to purchase a new sofa because she didn't want to be "stuck" with just one look.

I told her to purchase a quality sofa that she likes and that's comfortable. Then, I told her how a slipcover or adding different throw pillows can really change the look. Today, I’m sharing 3 tips with you, so you know how to transform your sofa seasonally (and for the approaching holiday season!).

Have you ever wondered about custom window treatments? What makes them different than those you can purchase in a store or online? In this month's blog, I'll be sharing with you the behind the scenes details of a custom window treatment project.

This project was very special to me as it won first place in the Combination Treatment category for 2021 WF-VISION magazine Design Competition.

The business has grown so much over the past 27 years and I’m very proud of that. I had no idea when I started that I'd be teaching at conferences, holding leadership positions with WCAA, and winning awards for my work! It wasn’t all smooth sailing getting here however. There were quite a few hiccups along the way: The steep learning curve from sewing hobbyist to professional, the lean years - especially 2008 and 2020, and balancing work and family, to name a few. What helped to get over those bumps and bring the business to where it is today was the love and support of my husband, the relationships I’ve formed through WCAA, and my trust in God.

You know the story about how the shoemaker's kids have no shoes? I am no exception! Finding time for my own home is difficult. Most of the rooms in my home are what I call finished, and the rest are waiting patiently (along with my husband).

This month I'm inviting you into my own home and sharing the details of my dining room transformation. The before photos, the decision making process, and of course, the results.

Every person is different; wouldn't it be boring if we were all the same?  We all prefer certain colors, patterns, textures, aesthetics, etc.  Within these variations, we tend to gravitate toward one design style or another. 

In this month's blog, I'll be sharing information about the window treatments that jive best with each particular design style.  Not sure what your style is?  No worries - I'll also include a few details on each so that you will be able to identify something you are comfortable with.
