Question and answer
Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.
A. Everyone is crazy about Roman shades these days. And for good reason.
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. It's money well spent. The product itself will last several years longer than out-of-the-box purchases that are made with less attention and supportive detail than custom ones.
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. Custom window treatments do more to personalize a room and create a stunning appearance than even your furniture. Take a somewhat drab or just plain sofa, start putting window treatments with matching throw pillows, and you're on! Drapes are to rooms what shoes are to an outfit. They simply make it.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. No jobs are sent to outside fabricators. Each panel or shade is my work, exclusively.
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. Can I select my own fabric or do I necessarily have to choose from your inventory of fabric. My answer is, "either way is fine." Some clients are attached for many reasons to a particular piece of fabric and want to utilize it.
Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?
A. Yes, but it involved a wedding dress instead of draperies. Use your imagination on this one!
This is a season that's bringing new babies into the picture. And the nursery is now the most important room in the home. After all, where will your friends come when they stop by your house now? Right there in the nursery. Roman shades with blackout lining seem to be a sure fit for moms wanting to create a peaceful environment for a sleeping baby, even at high noon. With a fuss-free dimension of fabric, the trims and variations are endless. Crib skirts can also be made to match. How cute!
Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?
A. I started sewing when I was 20 years old. The ooohs and aaahs gave me the boost to take it to the next levels.
Q. Tell us about a recent job you did that you are particularly proud of.
A. One hundred and fifty yards of fabric to cover seven glass doors in a sunroom. All pleats were hand-made goblet pleats that I could stand and look at for hours. Just beautiful. The customer was amazed. The floors were stained concrete, so a bit of puddling of the drapery softened the look of the entire place.
