Powder Room


This Hampton Park home had a tiny powder room right by the front door. The homeowner wanted to add some fabrics to this "very small space". The window, full of charm was only about 12 inches wide. The homeowner chose a fabulous toile because it had all the right colors in the fabric.
I created a small flat scalloped valance trimmed with some great fringe and placed it on the rod.

Rich woodwork and years of charm surrounded this little piece of fabric.

Sometimes a great looking window has little to do with the draperies.
The white sink with original faucets, just sort of hung there. So we skirted it with nice trim and box pleated the floor length skirt to cover the pipes which added some interest to what you see when the powder room door is open.

Here is a close up. Look at the amazing tile work.

Only ten little tassels. That's a small window.

All of this makes a great conversation piece.
But, you would be having a private conversation
as the powder room is not big enough for two.

Kitchen Window Looks Complete

 The homeowners have a view from every side of their home.  It is beautiful.  Not much needs to be said or done when it comes to making these windows look great.  You enjoy the view so much, I think you might not even see the treatments.  However, I was asked to do the treatments for this home.  My son actually built this home.  It was a great project and the attention to detail is what makes this home stand out above the rest.  This is the kitchen window.  I kept the treatment simple as you can see.  Bold fabric, beaded trim, slight scallop all on tension rod. Breakfast room has two french doors in the bay that walks out to the patio.  Using the same fabric on black rods I made sure not to cover up the view in any way.  It was just perfect for the space.

Abundance at the End of the Year

This year has been a very wonderful year in the sewing room.  I have completed this year's work load and found that my deadlines have been met, clients are happy and I can enjoy my family.  I recently read a book called, "The Art of Abundance".  The title caught my eye in the store--so being the sort of person that enjoys "abundance"--I purchased the book. I sat by our Christmas tree in the corner of our living room parusing (meaning: to read or examine with great care) through the book.  My favorite saying for the evening was: "Abundance--the swish of taffeta and the shee n of silk."  Now they are speaking my language.  As I sat and reflected on what it was that I liked so much about that statement, I realized that my last three jobs for the year were out of beautiful silks and swishing taffeta.  My, my--how good is the abundance of beautiful fabrics. Here are a few photos of the taffeta fabric. Buffalo check, full length side panels, scalloped...

Nursery Treasures and Pleasures

Once in awhile, I am asked to create custom baby bedding.  There is no greater pleasure found.  One of my weaknesses is brand new babies.  There is so much anticipation, so much to prepare for and so much that we think we know and so much that is unknown. This baby was going to be born to a couple that would cherish her forever.  It was evident as we began to design and embellish her future living quarters.  My client, Lindsay D. (mom-to-be) was a delight to work with.  She had great color sense and was so anticipating the birth of their little one.  We began our journey at the fabric store.  We actually met each other at Anatol's Fabrics.  Their fabric selections can be viewed at  www.housefabrics.com/defaultproduct.asp   She showed me her fabric choices and  I began the design process.  Lindsay loves personalized work.  One of the first things this baby may learn are her initials.  All of the trim...
