Cornice and side drapes and rod pocket valance.  The cornice fabric is from Mitchell fabrics and the side drapes are from Norbar fabrics.

I have been wanting to add paint colors to my window treatments for some time now.  I went to some classes on colors and received alot of knowledge from the Sherman Williams booth so I feel very excited to start adding this to my company.  The color tools they gave me will help to incorporate accents in the form of pillows,carpet and most of the Home Decor.  So I hope to help you with this very soon.

                                                 

                     Las Vegas here we come.....
 The convention center in Vegas has a expo for windows,builders and kitchen vendors to present the new and latest products,  it is really big and a ton of people.  I have gone twice now and I come home so inspired. I take classes on color , trends and I love what they call a construction zone.  These ladies come from a academy in North Carolina and give you sewing tips to make life faster and easier for you, it is really great.  My husband Mark does all the installing and building of cornices  so he came on this trip and really enjoyed it.
It was truly work and no play (well maybe a little play). At home we watch Pawn Stars every night so our goal was to go to Pawn stars.
So glad we did it was our highlight.  Chumlee made a appearance and he signed a postcard for our grandson Dylan and took pictures for us.  He has become quite popular.  This is us in front of the pawn stars painting.

This is standing in front of a waterfall at Wynn.

This merry go round is all decorated with fresh cut flowers.  Truly a work of art.


These next pictures were from displays at the show and so pretty.Wanted to share them with you.

This fabric is from Mitchell fabrics.  The Client and I designed a cornice for over her kitchen slider.  The frontroom has 3 windows, the 2 pictures above we did the same valance with a drape and tieback on the left and the next window on the right.  The larger window my pictures came out dark but it is the same valance pattern with 1 more swag and drapes on each side.  I loved this fabric and the look.

I finished the drapes last week to this sweet room.  Drapes are out of silk with blackout lining.  The hardware is from Robert Allen.

Shutters from Hunter Douglas.

I love the look of shutters.  These shutters open and close by a touch of the vanes.  They also open completely to the left or right for easy cleaning.

A picture is worth a thousand words........... not with my camera.  These pictures just do not capture how pretty these frontroom drapes turned out.

The fabric is from Greenhouse Fabrics and hardware from Curtains Up.  This is a 2" rod and there was no space for finials so there is endcaps.

This window treatment is in the master bedroom.  The sheers are from Rm Coco and once again the hardware is from Curtains Up.  The middle picture shows a rosette in the center of the rod.  The outer layer is a white Dupioni Silk lined with blackout lining.  I love silk, it has a beautiful texture.
Dupioni Silk comes from the cocoon of a silkworm.  It is created when the threads from two different silkworms spin their cocoons close together and the fibers get tangled up. The tangled fibers are then used to make silk thread.  Silk Dupioni is naturally irregular in texture and each bolt is different.  Each window treatment is never the same it is unique.
