Interor Decorating - Hi, this question is not about decorating but the profession. I do window treatments for a department store but do not have a degree in design. Do I need a degree to be someone's assistant decorator. »
Diana Bier Interiors, LLC Unlike other professions (accountants, physicians, lawyers) you do not need a degree to do window treatments, especially if you're working for someone else. Depending on the state you live in, you may not call yourself an "Interior Designer" but an "Interior Decorator". However, if you want to become a certified interior designer, interior architect, or kitchen and/or bath designer, you need to take a rigorous licensing exam in order to obtain professional certification. I agree with Shannon, however, you would love the classes offered by many continuing education departments of colleges.
Love the slipcover. Can it be made for my chairs? - Hello. i live this look!
my upholsterer is having trouble making a seamed &skirted cover for my chairs.
I have shield back chairs. The current upholstered seat does not come flush to the side and front . It has approx 1/2 inch wood "step-off" around the cushioned seat. Can this cover be made for that type of seat, or does the upholstered/cushioned seat need to be flush with the sides?
Suggestions for how to place seam so cover looks tailored? »
Skirted chairs surround a French walnut table in the mushroom-gray dining room. Neoclassical touches include the grandiose chandelier and lush, golden raw silk drapes.
Among its feminine touches: soft textiles on the window treatments and seat cushions, as well as a sparkling crystal chandelier. See the rest of this home
There are several neoclassical staples worth noting in this dining room. The heavy drapery complete with fringe in a golden raw silk fabric casually hangs from a simply brass rod. The over-the-top crystal chandelier is ornate and double tiered. And the color combination, a mix of golden yellow and sea foam blue, is a classic choice.Find traditional chandeliers
CornIt's the season for gorgeous golden ears, shucked and plunged in a pot of boiling water or tossed on the grill. That same yellow shade offers a feast for the eyes — just look how these pale maize draperies glow against the window and beckon you in.
