This unusually shaped window was softened with gathered sheer draperies that were fitted to the window shape. The fabric is washable Ado fabric, which is a plus for a child's bathroom. For total privacy, the tiebacks are simply "unhooked".

This is a shaped cornice box we did for a client in Irvine, California. The gathered banding the the bottom is very difficult to do around the shape. Note the pattern hits exactly the right spot. It took three meetings with the designer to get the pattern placement just right.

This little girls bedroom was a joy to create, the family heirloom bed was given a huge facelift with an upholstered bed drapery treatment. The custom designed cabinetry has a paint glaze and inset beaded doors add to the detailing. Two chandeliers hang at either side of the room, the largest being located over the tea table, where lazy Sunday afternoons will be spent with Teddy and Rosie enjoying tea and crumpets.

Layers of texture were the focus for the window treatments in the family room. I started with flaxen lace sheers and added hand-embroidered, linen and cotton panels with fringe accents. Photo by Brian Gassel

This homeowner moved all of her wonderful furniture and accessories from her previous home in Atlanta, and it all fit beautifully in her new home. However, she needed window treatments to complete the spaces. In the Sitting Area, we added linen drapery panels with a classic Greek Key decorative tape running along the leading edge. We also added pillows to the sofa and a geometric rug to ground the coffee table. The homeowner did renovate the Kitchen when she purchased the home. It is a lovely classic white Kitchen so we added a punch of color in the bay area with our cornice boards. The oversized paisley pattern looks fabulous on the boards. All of the spaces are open to each other; however, we did go a little more formal in the Dining Area. This classic damask pattern on a linen fabric works perfectly with Sherwin Williams' Balanced Beige (SW7037) on the walls. We added the subtle patterned rug under the dining table which complements the beautiful runner in the Entry. In the Guest Bath, we added a faux flat valance in a fun medallion pattern. And don't forget about your Laundry Room. Since we have to be in there, we might as well make it warm and inviting like the rest of our house. Love the embroidered floral pattern on this fabric! Fabrics add warmth to any space and reinforce your color scheme. This was a great opportunity to complete this beautiful home. Enjoy!
