ExcitingWindows! by Susan Day

Dear Friends,
We are so excited, the last of the top treatments and custom shower valance are done, all the decorative drapery hardware is in, and we’re ready to pack the van in the morning and head to Pekin to install all of the beautiful window treatments for one great family. Our installers, Bob and Tom, have volunteered their time to install the blnds and shades too! My friend Deena made one of the beautiful bedskirts, and Tuxhorn drapery received a hand off of yards of sheer fabric and more to make lots of sheer drapery, a duvet cover, and a custom shower curtain. In addition to the Springfield craftsmen at work decorating, there were another 4-6 women creating more window treatments in Peoria and Bloomington to meet the needs of this very special client.
We don’t know the air date of the episode yet, but will share as soon as we can.
On with the tool belt and blue t-shirt!
Best wishes,
Susan

Hello again!

Draperies, blinds, shades, and gorgeous decorative hardware are all options for abc’s designers to choose for a Central Illinois build this month!

We are proud to be part of a large group of drapery workrooms, installers, and window coverings providers who will volunteer their time and donate their products to make someone’s life better.

ExcitingWindows! by Susan Day is proud to be partnering with the designers to provide the decorative drapery hardware: beautiful wood and metal poles, finials, rings and brackets to play the “supporting role” for great fabrics, drapery and maybe even trims.

Most everything is kept secret until the last minute, so we do not even know whether the build will be in Springfield or Peoria, but either way we will be there.

Stop back to find out more next week!
Susan

Dear Friends,
If you live in Springfield, Sherman, Chatham, Rochester or within an hour of Springfield, come to The Wardrobe at 830 South Grand Avenue before October ends!

You will see the most wonderful collection of decorated bras, to remember, thank, and celebrate the lives of our sisters with breast cancer. You can contribute with $1 per vote and choose your favorite and help lift up a sister in need.

Companies as diverse as Zara’s Collision, local banks, Sarah Petty Photography, Max Karpman Furs, J. Parkes, and dozens of others made their gorgeous and fun contributions!

Have a great week, and be sure and see the collection.

Happy Friday everyone! Today I had the privelege of installing blinds, custom draperies and rods/finials for three wonderful clients in Springfield. The first stop of the day covered the windows of a new homeowner with very affordable faux wood blinds. They had priced Hunter Douglas, Graber, and Timber Blinds, and finally selected value-priced brand since they would move in a few years. Of course, all brands are guaranteed with ExcitingWindows, and we offer a best-price guarantee too.

My second client needed room-darkening drapery for a guest bedroom, to look pretty during the day but let her guests sleep in on sunny mornings!

Last, we hung some simple but elegant two-color linen draperies from grommets at the top. These will open and close on a faux-finished iron rod for some sun control, but most of the time their beautiful folds will just soften the architecture of her great room’s tall triple windows with transoms. Best of all, when the client arrived home, she was so excited and said, “The room just didn’t look finished until today!”

This coming week, I plan to take care of some other fun customers who have ordered other types of shades, cornices, blinds and shutters. Thanks for stopping by our curtain blog!
