We created custom pillows with the left over fabric - gorgeous!

The original door had years and years of cracking paint. We convinced the owner to re-use the old closet door instead, and with a little elbow grease to rework the hinges and lock set, success! It looks beautiful. All window and door trim was custom to match the original.

This spacious laundry room is conveniently tucked away behind the kitchen. Location and layout were specifically designed to provide high function and access while "hiding" the laundry room so you almost don't even know it's there. Design solutions focused on capturing the use of natural light in the room and capitalizing on the great view to the garden. Slate tiles run through this area and the mud room adjacent so that the dogs can have a space to shake off just inside the door from the dog run. The white cabinetry is understated full overlay with a recessed panel while the interior doors have a rich big bolection molding creating a quality feel with an understated beach vibe. One of my favorite details here is the window surround and the integration into the cabinetry and tile backsplash. We used 1x4 trim around the window , but accented it with a Cambria backsplash. The crown from the cabinetry finishes off the top of the 1x trim to the inside corner of the wall and provides a termination point for the backsplash tile on both sides of the window. Beautifully appointed custom home near Venice Beach, FL. Designed with the south Florida cottage style that is prevalent in Naples. Every part of this home is detailed to show off the work of the craftsmen that created it.

This large, custom-made window treatment had to be hoisted up 9 stories because it was too large to fit in the elevator or stairwell.

Windows today, of all shapes and sizes, are beautiful focal points in their own right. We are often tasked with dressing these challenging windows in in ways that will not only showcase their beauty but also address the needs for privacy and light control. Sew Beautiful takes the time to understand what’s important to our clients and this portfolio showcases just how we’ve done this for the most challenging windows.

Such a large window needs the softness of a window treatment to create a smooth transition from the decorated dining room to big stark windows.

Our collaboration with a Howard County interior designer challenged Sew Beautiful with 56 windows in rooms that each required window coverings with specific needs and functions. Planning for the custom window treatments began early in the building phase, offering opportunities for hard-wired automated shades. The main living areas are dressed with Hunter Douglas Silhouette with Duolite sheer shades. Traditional draperies and valances add the finishing touches, framing the picturesque views. Silhouette and Duolite offer the best of both worlds for the bedrooms, with light control for privacy by day, and room darkening for sleeping.

We made 2- mock roman shades as the perfect window toppers in this guest bedroom for the grandchildren.
Bedroom - traditional bedroom idea in Chicago

The home owner worked with our designer, Kathleen to choose a fabric and style of window treatment that worked in this renovated farm house.

AFTER: There are pops of contrast throughout the room, so we paired a dark fabric with the existing white wood blinds to bring a pop of contrast to the top of the room.
