Designer: Barbara Stowe, Allied ASID The clients were looking for a complete update of their original 1960's kitchen. They requested a clean and fresh look that would withstand the test of time. Although the footprint remained the same, eliminating soffits allowed for full height cabinets and made the space look larger. Brookhaven by Wood-Mode cabinetry, a narrow pull-out pantry cabinet and custom built-in plate rack provide plenty of storage and the dual-fuel Wolf range and Sub-Zero refrigerator are welcome upgrades. Classic colors of gray and yellow are repeated in the handmade ceramic tile back splash, the granite counter tops, porcelain plank tile flooring, decorative valance and the numerous fabrics. Antique chairs upholstered with new fabrics and a farmhouse table made from old doors add warmth, while polished nickel hardware and Schonbek crystal pendants add a bit of bling. The result is a kitchen that is wonderful to cook in as well as being a lovely gathering place for family and friends.

The texture combinations of the designer roller shades, the slubby plaid upholstered valance, and the thick cording draws your eye in and makes you want to look closer. This was a "stunner" for during installation and really pulled the room together.

These custom inverted pleat valances in a Fairfax Station home show beautiful pattern placement, which is a hallmark of custom window treatments. The valances include a geometric tone on tone print, a contrast cording at the top edge of the board they are mounted upon, and a small wrapped bead at the top of each pleat to add some dimension. The fabric selected for these valances includes a light gray, which is also found in the sofa, and warmer tones found in the rug and a side chair. The straight hem allows for maximum view and light in this Fairfax Station, VA home. The valances are installed above the windows, making the windows appear taller than they are, and adding height to the room. Design and photograph by Linda H.
