What is your pattern tolerance?  This means, can you mix florals, stripes, checks or plaids, and solids all in the same room?  Some people are uncomfortable with this and others can’t get enough.  That is why you need to understand YOUR pattern tolerance.  From a design standpoint, it is very possible, and even desirable, to mix patterns within a room.  If you have trouble doing it yourself, then call a professional to help.   We are window treatment consultants serving Mason and Maineville, OH area.

Custom Draperies are such a fabulous addition to any home.  “Custom” means that you, along with a professional, choose the design, the size, the fabric and trims, along with any specialty hardware.  This service is available for custom draperies in Cincinnati, Ohio at a local Exciting Windows dealer.

My best friends recently moved to Minneapolis.  Even in the downward economy, people are still moving and have an emotional need to establish a new “home”.   It may seem odd to you, but it is true that decorating is all about emotion.  We have an inner need to feel safe and comfortable.  Decorating a new living space is one immediate way to bring some warmth and beauty to our surroundings.  Adding fabric at the windows, in the form of draperies or top treatments will enhance the living space and help in the quest of settling into a new home.

Blinds and Shadings fill a need for privacy and light control.  Fabric window treatments, such as draperies, sheers, and top treatments fill the need to decorate.  Decorating your home enhances living.

Last night I held a Trunk Show of Window Fashions at one of my favorite client’s home.  She invited several women to attend. They came from Blanchester, West Chester, Mason, Maineville and Loveland After enjoying delicious appetizers and wine, we began an exploration of window treatments.  We looked at various new blinds and shades that are available through Hunter Douglas, Lafayette, and ADO.  We talked about trends in draperies treatments and lookes at many options for decorating a window.  I look forward to the next one!

What a fabulous experience!  I was honored to work in the home of the Ayer’s family in West Chester, OH.  I worked with several other drapery experts, as we crafted bedding and draperies for the new home.  It was truly a “feel good” experience.  God bless you, Ayer’s family!

Are you stumped over what to do with your arched windows.  So many houses in the neighborhoods of Mason and Maineville, Ohio have large palladium (arched) windows in their foyer, over the front door.  For most, the amount of sunlight coming through those windows is blinding.  Not only blinding, but also a source of too much of heat in the summer and too much cold in the winter.  It is hard for home owners to know where to begin in treating windows like that.  The good news is that there are many options!  You just need a good window treatment professional you can trust to come to your home and show you some solutions. You can treat the window with a blind, shade, shutter, or fabric treatment.  It all depends on what you are trying to accomplish.  Call me for a free consultation and let me wade through all the products to show you what would work best for you.

The trend toward draperies continues.  I had a call from West Chester, OH today requesting draperies over his existing blinds for added insulation.  This not only adds to the energy efficiency, but enhances the decor of the room with color and texture.  Draperies are a win-win!

There is a definite trend toward softening the look at the windows.  Even if blinds are used, fabric drapery side panels are often use to enhance the design and decor of the room.  These panels can be stationary or fully moveable, traversing the entire width of the window to give complete privacy, light control, and insulation.  Fully lined drapery panels offer fabulous insulation in a room.
