PILLOW COLLECTION
Assorted shapes and sizes of pillows are combined
here, made of various textures, silks, upholstery weights,
and trims. There are neckrolls, lined with contrast fabric,
square, shirred sunbursts, and envelope shapes.
|
CONTEMPORARY BAY SWAG TREATMEN…
This contemporary client wanted a soft inviting
bay window treatment in the dining room. We made an upholstered
cushion for the window seat, and mitered a fabric covered
pole at ceiling height. The pole has decorative ends of
floppy 'flowers", with two sheers winding around, and in
& out. Two pillows adorn the seat, for more interest.
|
TEXTURED SHEER ROMAN SHADE
This is a Roman shade in a powder room, of a sheer,
lined with a sheer, and a soft shirred cornice at the top.
It functions as a shade, with the Rollease lift system,
evenly raising and lowering.
|
ELEGANT BATH DRAPERIES
Here we have a Hunter-Douglas Silhouette shade
in the master bath. Over the shade we draped a textured
sheer, pouffed on clear swag-holders, and the drape falls
in 'bishop's sleeves ' at the sides. We also trimmed the
swags with antique gold cord trim, and tassels ties at the
poufs.
|
LIVING ROOM DRAPES WITH SCROLL…
Also over Silhouettes, this formal living room
bay window area is draped with two sheers. The gold fabric
is a crinkled sheer, contrasting with the smooth cranberry
color. Hardware supporting the drape is from Amore Decorative
Drapery Hardware , and consists of a center scrollwork and
two side pieces. This is a beautiful alternative to a pole
or rod system.
|
WOOD BLINDS AND CUSTOM DRAPERY
Draped at the sides of wood blinds on a wide
window, we have a semi sheer swag and drapery panel, held
to a 3-inch wide pole, with rings and decorative finials.
The wooden hardware is faux painted to coordinate with the
woodwork in the room. The luxurious fabric, supplied by
Kravet Fabrics, was trimmed and hemmed by hand.
|
ELEGANT BISHOP'S SLEEVES
Here we have formal draped swags, mounted on
an upholstered cornice board, with lined drapery panels
pulled up and pouffed with chenille tassels and braided
trim. The drapes puddle on the floor, behind antique chairs
covered in the same fabric, a textured jacquard. A knot
of the fabric separates the swags in the center.
|
DOOR TREATMENT
This door matches the previous picture, and
, the door is still able to open, since the swags and board
clear the top. The drapery panels are not installed on rods;
they are upholstered into the cornices by a velcro system.
Industrial strength velcro shirring tape is sewn to the
flat panel and gathered. Then the panel just "taps" into
the cornice, drapes perfectly, and can be easily removed
when desired.
|
RAW SILK DRAPERIES
These are lined silk draperies, mounted on a
mahogany rod with crystal finials.
|
CANDY COLORS
A little girl's room is the setting for this
cornice, which we shaped for a fun look and projected over
vertical blinds. Three colors of chintz were gathered ,
and the ½ inch cord trim was also used on pillows on the
bed.
|
CONTEMPORARY CORNICES
I called these cornices "Fabric paintings",
because I draped and used trim all over them, the way you
might paint on a board. The client is contemporary, but
wanted a somewhat elaborate design over solid verticals.Sateen
fabric was used on 16" deep cornices. The front treatment
is about 130" wide. There were two on the side wall, which
had to look exactly alike.We also used black and gold cording
and a mesh netting for interest.
|
GREENHOUSE WINDOW
Here we designed a country style cornice to
complete a garden window in the client's kitchen. Duralee,
Ltd. Supplied the fabric, and the trim gave it a nice finished
edge.
|
PETTICOAT VALANCE
We call this treatment a "petticoat valance",
since it resembles an old fashioned petticoat or 'Can-Can'
costume. This valance can be made of solid fabrics, or prints,
or a combination of the two. Here we used 3 colors of cotton
sateen. Each layer is lined, and edged with a cord of another
layer's color. The cording in the outer seams stiffens the
fabric and makes it hold its shape well. We hung the valance
on a pole rod, and custom painted finials to match the fabric.
|
CLASSIC EMPIRE TREATMENT
Bead trimmed Empire valance covers eighteen
feet in bay area. The horns and returns are contrast lined.
The double traverse drapes operate in three directions for
the client's light control in her bedroom.
|
CUSTOM DRAPERY HARDWARE
This is a close up of a custom drapery hardware
from Crowder Designs in North Carolina. We ordered the pole,
brackets, rings and finials unfinished and painted them
ourselves. The formal dining room drapery was pleated at
the top, and I finished the very top seam with a cord of
antique gold satin, and it all matched. The finial (pole
end) is about 8" long and the ribbed pole and acanthus bracket
adds a classic look to the treatment.
|
PAINTED & STAINED FINIALS
Here is another finial, which is part stained
and part metallic gold. There are swags and panels draped
on the poles, and you can see the tassel from the "fan"
attached at the top.
|
SHEER SWAGS OVER WINDOW SEAT
Gauzy semi sheer swags drape over a black pole
with antique gold finials. Window seat cushion and pillows
are an assortment of Peachtree and Kravet fabrics, all trimmed
to coordinate.
|
ORIENTAL ACCENTS
We finished these drapes and finials to have
an Oriental feeling about them. The pole is antique gold,
with a dark finish rubbed in. The finial has the look of
a minaret, and the entire treatment was installed over a
Hunter Douglas "Luminette" sheer. The client was so pleased
that they gave us an antique bench to refinish to match
the finial, in gold and teal and coral.
|
PORCELAIN PAINTED FINIAL
Another finial, this time custom painted to
match the fabric, then finished with a clear sealer to have
the look of porcelain. The window treatment is a valance,
and to emphasize the blue color, we made the rod pocket
area out of royal blue chintz. The entire bedroom and coordinating
items are pictured in another photo.
|
TRADITIONAL CORNICE WITH SHEER…
We framed this great picture window with a shaped
cornice and full sheer drapery panels at each side. The
Duralee Fabric used for the cornice is a Lisere, a French
tapestry. The panels also waterfall onto the floor.
|
BALLOON VALANCE SPECIALTY
This is one of my all time favorites, and we've
used this photo in ads for years. I designed the treatment
to accentuate the recessed window and cushion. The depth
of the area was about 20", and I thought it would be interesting
to make the balloon valance come out from the wall in a
half circle effect rather than just across the window on
a flat rod. So the valance is upholstered to a piece of
wood shaped like half a pie, in a curve, but the flat wood
covers the ceiling like a canopy. In other words, if you
sit on the cushion and look up, you'll see the fabric covered
wood on the ceiling. The valance is about 13" deep, and
the side panel pouf as shown. There are bows of coordinating
fabric adorning the panels, and also as cording on the top
of the treatment where it touches the ceiling.
|
WASHABLE CUSTOM BEDDING
We made all these products in a little girl's
bedroom washable, because the fabric is half poly/half cotton.
The client had her choice of quilting designs on thecomforter,
and we made all the shams and pillows to cuddle up with
on the bed!! There are four king shams, and several toss
pillows, all with custom designs. There is also a window
treatment of all the four colors, too.
|
OLD FASHIONED CANOPY BED
Here's a bed done with a canopy, comforter,
ruffled shams, and dustruffle, from five different fabrics.
|
ELEGANT ARCHITECTURAL CORNICE
This gold leaf /crackle finish cornice can be
created to your window dimensions. The face width stays
the same. We recently installed one ten feet wide, that
we custom finished to the fabrics and furniture tones in
the room.
|
COUNTRY FRENCH STYLE
The country French look is evident in this bedroom
with the brass bed, and antique dressing table. We made
the reversible duvet (blanket cover), dustruffle, shams,
toss pillows, the skirt on the dressing table, and even
upholstered the bench, not visible. The window treatment
portion with a painted finial coordinates with this room.
|
POLE SWAG DISPLAY
These swags are trimmed with tiny tassel fringe
and draped over a gold twist pole.
