I just did the window treatments in this master and I really think they are suitable for almost any room in the house. I made these cornice boxes for almost nothing using a 12" x 2" and securing them to the wall with teacup hooks! I wraped them in batting for a cushiony look and fastened the fabric around the corners seamlessly like I was wrapping a present. The windows already had real nice blinds so the treaments did not need to function for privacy or light. Because of this the panels did not need to function so to save even more money there is no rod involved. These are half width "dummie" panels stapled to the other side of the cornice box. The ywill always hang beautifully because they are stapled in place.

Here is a closer look at how the panels just fall from behind the boxes. The materials used are also a neutral tapestry up top and a gorgeously expensive golden dupioni silk for the panels. Lovely choses by my client who tied this whole room together.

Dependent on the size of the window these custom made cornice boxes start at $40 and the panels are as always $1.00 an inch in length per pair -lined!

Luxurious Custom Bedding

Care to know what $42.00 a yard looks like? Well here it is. The main component of this material grouping is a golden taupe silk with a large tonal stitching. It has such a great hand we didn't even line it. The 3 large euro shams are piped in an icy blue dupioni silk to match the reverse of the coverlet, so that when this couple turns down their bed they get a contrasting color. It also helps to break up all the taupe. Below you see a window to the left of the bed. We did embroidered chenille in brown and blue. A simple pleat across the top keeps the panels from being too busy. I chose a simple antique brass rod and rings not to distract from the beautiful fabric and to coordinate with the pulls on their furniture.

Below is the other double window in the room. We did 2 double width panels so that when the panels functyioned to meet in the center there was still that extra amount of fullness to look nice and not skimpy.

I wanted to show the foot of this sleigh bed because we really love the idea of folding down this expensive coverlet at night for practicality. What keeps the coverlet on the bed? The fitted corners we put to fit thew foot of the mattress. Now they don't have those big floppy triangles flapping on the corners of their bed and gives a more custom look.

A striped material was chosen to create a large bolster pillow. This king is very wide and alot of the pillow forms ready for purchase appeared way too small for this grouping so I chose a large roll of batting to fill the space for less money than a custom ordered pillow. Upholstered buttons secure tightly to the cinched ends of this pillow.

Never worked with such gorgeous and luxurious materials before. They are all still available at the Fabric House!

The Little's Nursery

This happens to be one of my favorite nurseries! When I first met with the client I was immediatly concerned about all the busy prints she was hoping to incorporate. You can see that she was successful at pulling it all together using the same consistant color palette and a fresh white background. The Curtain panels were hung with grommets on a cream rod. The cloet doors were replaced with the same treatment for easier use of the entire closet. The bumpers are 4 individual cushions made to convert to pillows as their baby girl grows. Handmade ties in orange secure them to the bed.

A floral, a stripe, and a pale print that reads as a neutral come together to make a cheery, unique, and very custom look. Try to find this in stores.

My talented client created a piece of art for over the changing table. A contemporary flower inspired, Im sure, from all the beautiful materials.
