In the Studio-Jacquard, Sheer, Beads and Tassel

Arched window treatment selections and rendering of approved design with specification details.

We are working on some arched window treatment selections for a Shrewsbury, MA home office/library.  I use Studio to design the treatment right on a photo of the client’s window.  The fabric selections are inserted into the line drawing.  The design rendering shows all of the details so there are no surprises. 

This is what the window looked like when I went to consult with the client.

HELP! This window needs a spectacular window treatment.

Arched Window Treatment Selections

Brocade, sheer, beads and tassel

The fabrics and trimmings have arrived.  Don’t you just love the richness of that brocade?  It is going to go with so many things.  By the way, the client selected the beads instead of the tassel trim.  They will be so fun when they capture the sunlight.

Post Note-This design is an elegant window treatment now.  Take a look at the end result and please let me know what you think.

Favorite Silk Fabrics

I am passionate about these favorite silk fabrics.  It is from a collection that has been out a few years by RM Coco.  Every time I am searching for a fabric for a client and come across this, my heart skips a beat.

Favorite silk fabrics from RM Coco like this pink embroidered fabric from India. Window Designs Etc.com

Favorite Fabric-100% embroidered silk from India- A RM Coco Exclusive

Sadly, I have never used this colorway in any of my designs.  I have used the same pattern in a brilliant turquoise which I will post on in the near future.  Take a look at the detail.

Favorite Silk Fabrics That Coordinate

In my designer dream room, I can see it paired with one of these solids as an accent.

Light pink silk taffeta is one of my favorite silk fabrics from RM Coco.

I love to mix patterns.  This stripe is a fun coordinate.  It is woven with “stitching lines” to give it great textural interest.

Silk stripe as a coordinating fabric

In my designer dream room, I would use these in window treatments, bedding, pillows and upholstery in a sophisticated master suite.

Do these fabrics make your heart leap?

Where would you use these fabrics?

Cape Cod Sea Shells In The Studio

 

Cape Cod Sea Shells

Look what arrived in the studio this week! Cape Cod sea shells.

Do you wonder if this is a blog about window treatments or is it someone writing about the beach? Yes, they will be incorporated into a window treatment. 

It is important to capture the personality and details of a client’s lifestyle.  I love to use what is special to them in the details of the design.

My designer eye hones in on these Cape Cod sea shells in a bowl while at my client’s beach escape.  There is an abundance of them they collect at Seagull Beach in West Yarmouth, MA.

Notice how thin the shells are. The tiny hole in them will make sewing them onto a window treatment easy.

I am designing a custom window treatment for the guest room that will use these opalescent beauties as a unique detail.   I’ll post more pictures as work progresses.
