Baby Boy Bumpers

Here is a set of bumpers I made for a client. I love her simple combination of 3 materials. A tan and soft blue boy toile, a natural minky dot, and a khaki and white stripe. The boxpleated crib skirt is made from the stripe on the hand made ties I made from the material. The piping, cut on the bias, shows the stripe on the diagonal. Valance to come in the same materials.

Swanky Master Bedroom with Tall Ceilings

This Master Bedroom sports ultra tall ceilings so, it was important that the window treatments weren't understated. #1 client chose a wide tonal stripe that reads as a silvery blue. The top photo shows a smaller window we centered a single panel in front of - it is identical to the center panel in the main window. The 2 outside panels are double width to cover the entire windows at night for the clients. All they do is let the sashes down and the panels fall open. Had we done single width, it wouldn't have appeared as dramatic as it does.

The client chose this design and even though I would've never thought of tab top curtains for such a dressy treatment, the center loop is pleated and gives a unique and dressy twist so they really don't read as "tab top" drapes. The chaise lounge bottom left was also slipcovered by me.

Roman Shades with Inverted Box Pleat

Here is a before picture of a blank bay window in the eating area of a newly remodeled kitchen in Brentwood. The client had a picture of a roamn shade showing an inverted box pleat that we replicated for her here in only the center window of the bay.



Here you see all three window together. The inverted boxpleat gives the treatment more fullness as you pull the treatment up. I like this for more drama and would definitly do it again.
