**★★★★★ — Teri Berwick, June 2016**

> I have a property management company and have used Christine, The Drapery Lady, for a number of projects.  Her products are EXCELLENT quality, price is wonderful and service is outstanding.
> You have the opportunity to review a number of choices and select colors in your home that you know will look right when they are installed.
> She has a professional installer do the measurements, and things are ALWAYS fitted perfectly and installed perfectly!
> Projects are always completed ON TIME.  She comes with the installer and stays while work is done.  She takes away all packing materials and leaves the property in perfect condition.
> SO glad that I found her!

> Christine is the best. Chose her after an extensive search and comparison of 5 bids for the blinds and drapes for my wife's hair styling salon. Christine showed up right on time for the estimate, made the measurements and then took us through all the options. She listened carefully to what look we were trying to achieve and then gave us some great advice. We should have listened to her the first time. The installation went great and was done on time, right when Christine said it would be. However, the window blinds that we chose, instead of taking Christine's advice, just didn't achieve the look we were going for. I called Christine and told her we should have taken her original advice. She went to work immediately with the manufacturer and worked out an exchange so the manufacturer reused all the hardware from the original blinds and only charged for the new blind fabric. The second installation went just as well as the first. We love the look. Thank you, Christine!

## Community Q&A

**Q: One panel curtains for master bedroom and what to do with the door? Pl** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Our master bedroom has 4 windows and a patio door.  I'm am trying to plan my drapes and am torn between using one panel per window (feel like it would be overwhelming with 2 on such narrow windows and also the corners are tight) but also am unsure of whether I need to put a panel on the door as well?  

If I do hang a panel over the door does the rod need to be even with the windows or can it be a few inches higher? Initially was planning on hanging window panels about 6" from ceiling and the door frame is a little taller.  I've attached photos. Please let me know what would look best and not rookie-like.  Hoping to order my curtains today! (FYI- don't mind our dated and temporary furniture!)

A: If you want to keep the wood blinds then use side panels that are 1 - 1 1/2 widths wide.  On the door use a Roman shade of the same fabric.  If you aren't married to the wood blinds then use roman shades on all of the windows.  Instead of pinch pleated draperies you could have draperies with grommets to minimize the stack.  This would work for side panels or for functioning draperies.

**Q: DR window treatment suggestions?** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Hi Houzzers, any suggestions on what to do with these 2 windows in my dining room??  We'd like to leave the french doors alone if possible.  Thinking one possibility might be these woven blinds below that I'll be using for the kitchen windows. Or should I do panels?  Or leave them alone since we'd like to leave french doors bare?!?  Dining set & rug to be updated in near future.  Thanks :)!!

A: Roman shades would bring some color into the room, your trim will still be exposed and when they are pulled up they will look like you have a valance on the window and French doors.  They look good on French doors as well.

**Q: Any suggestions for window treatments for over door windows triangle s** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Windows are triangle over the door and need treatments that can be easily open and closed to block sun a few hours each day

A: Given the shape of the window, there is no window treatment that you will be able to open and close.  Hunter Douglas does not have a remote controlled shade for that shape of window.  A honeycomb shade could probably be done in that shape but it will not be operable.
