The Dining Room

The clients of this home are young and busy but love to entertain! Abundant light along with the simple yet impressive silk drapes were designed to bring a warm feel to the dining room. The neutral color and window height add a touch of unexpected elegance to the room. They have created a room for special moments with their family and friends to enjoy, time and time again.

A New York Apartment

The client selected her fabric and shipped the fabric to me and gave me a wonderful description of her idea for the windows! She wanted privacy in the evening and an ability to open them and enjoy the sunlight in the morning! Her decorating is filled with a collection of books, music, personal treasures of her travels, sea shells, and beautiful art! Time and time again she can reflect on what brings her happiness and joy!

Roman Shade

This client selected gorgeous fabric to accent the bold wall color in the great home! She wanted something functional for privacy, yet fun and modern! Her selection and look she wanted were achieved!

Flat Roman Shade

A Roman Shade can be a great addition to any room! These simple yet elegant window treatments have that extra something that gives a room a pop!

Words and Widsom from Anne Morrow Lindbergh

"It is a difficult lesson to learn today--to leave one's friends and family and deliberately practice the art of solitude for an hour or a day or a week. For me, the break is the most difficult. Parting is inevitably painful, even for a short time. It is like an amputation, I feel. A limb is being torn off, without which I shall be unable to function. And yet, once it is done, I find there is a quality to being alone that is incredibly precious. Life rushes back into the void, richer, more vivid, fuller than before. It is as if parting one did actually lose an arm. And then, like the star-fish, one grows it anew; one is whole again, complete and round--more whole, even than before"
