In Like a Lion; Out Like a Lamb?

This winter came in like a lion for the NC mountains.  December and January were full of snow and below normal temperatures.  It seems as though the weather will be warming up soon.  Warm weather usually inspires more home improvement projects and creates a busier time for us all.  Winter is certainly not over, but we will welcome the warm weather!

I have attached pictures of some projects that have kept us steady this winter.

A dining room valance on medallions.

Blackout drapes and tailored valance for a master bedroom.

Side panels on short rods for a dining room.

Inverted pleat valance for a kitchen window.

Inside mount roman shades with attached valance.

Scalloped bottom valance with lip cord adds interesting detail.

Channel quilted bedspread and scalloped bottom valance for a master bedroom.

The bedspread is fitted with a contrast piping around the mattress edge and contrast fabric in the gussets.

Bringing in the Holidays

The holiday season is upon us!  We hope that you take time to enjoy the busy month ahead.

The following pictures are from a job we did for Dianne Davant of Dianne Davant Interiors.  The house was beautifully decorated with an elegant mountain style.

The kitchen window featured a large cornice with nail heads along the top and bottom.

Sweet Summertime

Thanks to designer Kathy Wallace, this job kept us busy during part of the winter making outdoor and indoor chair cushions.  They turned out so nice and are now being enjoyed this summer.

The next three pictures are from a job where we worked directly with the homeowner.

These roman shades are mounted inside the molding and allow the rest of the window area to remain open.

I love the blue trim that is applied just inside the outside edge.

This is a great example of a simple yet beautiful valance.  The inverted pleats are placed to coordinate with the window sections.  It adds a nice softness to this inviting living room.

The following window treatments were designed by Tammy Taylor of Tammy Taylor Interiors .  

The bay window drapes hang on a custom decorative traverse rod.

Inverted pleat valances hang over split draw drapes.

This roman shade has a self valance that is a smaller version of the inverted pleat valances.  The shade hangs on a door and is a nice alternative to blinds.
