Custom Curtains, Drapes & Blinds in Portland Maine

“Dena was an 'unexpected find' in our search for interior design help! We renovated a 13 room home over the course of four years and when it finally came time to select paints and furnish our home (the FUN part) our goal was to do it once and do it right....fabulous and cost effective from the start. Dena spent a lot of time talking to us about our lifestyles before diving into any decorating discussions. She visited our home as construction was winding down and continued to work with us in our home to accomplish our goals. Dena was responsible for the paint schedule, floorplans and furniture styles/fabrics. The first thing she did was view our existing furnishings to repurpose what we could...and we did some of that...she gave us ideas that we never would have thought about. We then moved on to the paint schedule...I know more about ceiling paint and how important it is than I ever imagined. As our painting contractor moved through the house, Dena started matching - more specifically - our feedback (likes and dislikes) to floor plans. We had ample time to review her plan suggestions with the completed interior painting to narrow our selections. We worked cooperatively with Dena to pull fabric choices and had ample opportunity to bring samples home and "live with them" before making choices. We worked one area at a time - got that right - and then moved on to another area. We did not feel overwhelmed, rushed and felt all along that we were getting what we truly wanted. Dena is cost effective...and cost is only part of the equation. We interviewed other designers/decorators and, though highly recommended, were not the correct fit. They neither had Dena's level of expertise nor were they comfortably affordable. We spent 18 months with Dena furnishing our home and today there is not one thing that we would change! Our home is comfortable for us every single day - most important - and for guests when the occasion arises. We chose quality first and continue to be pleased. Dena is professional, knowledgeable and flexible at all times. Dena was the 'unexpected find' that was crucial in completing our 'forever home'.”

“Kim, owner of Coastal Maine Interiors, has been helpful to the max with all of our decorating wants and needs which have spanned two homes and one RV. She has been spot-on with her recommendations for furniture, fabrics and window treatments and has never wasted our time with frivolous ideas. Kim has excellent taste. She has superior customer service skills and will not lead you where you do not want to go. All of the products, vendors and tradespeople she has recommended and/or used have been excellent. When we have needed after-sale assistance, she has been able to access her accurate files and has provided the information immediately.”

“Terri is amazing. She created the beautiful window treatments for my daughters rooms. She was able to find me affordable fabrics, which is impressive when looking for fabrics for window treatments. Teri is incredibly creative, and was able to put together a very unique treatment. I have and will recommend her in the furute as she did an amazing job!!”

“I have used Swags for all of my window treatment needs. They have taken the time to come to my home in Ogunquit with samples and recommendations for several of my projects. I have also meet at their show room to approve and discuss the various projects that they did for me. (The Show room is LOADED with ideas and samples) I could never have gotten through the design phase without their knowledge and expertise. I couldn't be more pleased.”

“As newcomers to Portsmouth, my husband and I wanted a unique decor for our new condo. We did our research and received several estimates after choosing plantation shutters. We were fortunate to meet with David Monsees from Bayside Blind & Shade and were impressed by his professionalism and expertise on window decor. During David’s installation, he was attentive to every detail. We highly recommend David’s products and services.”
