Valances are a simple way to add color, softness, and a finished look to any room. With endless options for styles and trims, they can be as decorative or as understated as you like—but even a clean, classic valance brings instant elegance and customization.
We love helping clients choose color palettes and fabric textures that complement the space while reflecting their personal style. As an added bonus, fabric valances can even help dampen sound in rooms that tend to “ring,” making them both beautiful and practical.

​These valances were added to a Seacoast rental apartment, and with minimal cost and effort, the space now feels warmer, cozier, and more complete.

Take a fresh look at the windows in your own spaces and consider adding—or updating—valances to truly make them your own.

​If you’re curious about what might work in your home, we’re always happy to help you explore options and get started.

​When winter rolls in, cellular shades do more than just look good—they help insulate your windows while offering excellent privacy and light control. If you’re looking for the most flexible option, a Top-Down/Bottom-Up cellular shade is hard to beat.

The “bottom-up” function works just like a traditional cellular shade, but the real magic happens at the top. With discreet magnetic clips holding the shade in place, you can raise or lower the bottom as usual—or pull the top down to let natural light flood in while keeping the lower part of the window private.
​
This versatility gives you options for every moment of the day: privacy below with light above, full coverage when you want it, or even “parking” the shade in the middle of the window for a balanced mix of both. It’s a smart solution for rooms where light and privacy needs change throughout the day.

​Take a look around your home and think about which windows could benefit from this highly adaptable, energy-efficient window treatment. And if you’d like to talk through the possibilities, give us a call—we’re always happy to chat!

Our last installation of 2025 was a satisfying one: a pair of matching slipcovers for a mountain lodge retreat. 

The client was ready for a change, moving from well-loved reds to smooth, cool blues for a lighter, fresher feel—and the transformation was instant.

Slipcovers are a simple, elegant way to refresh a room, shift a color palette, or breathe new life into much-loved older pieces. In this case, these two chairs look ready for many more years of use—and we’d say they’ve gotten a well-deserved new lease on life.

In late November, a customer reached out to see if we could make new cushions for two heritage pieces of furniture—two armchairs and a loveseat crafted from the end of a bed. We settled on a lovely light-colored fabric that would still be reasonably child-proof, and then went to work.

​We decided the new cushions needed to be thicker than the originals so they would be properly scaled to the furniture. To achieve that, we used a thicker foam core, added a polyfill wrap for comfort and softness, and finished the cushions with zippers and piping for a clean, tailored look.

​The results were delightful—and as an added bonus, everything was completed just in time for Christmas! Don’t let a well-loved piece of furniture fade away. With new cushions, it can gain fresh life, color, and function. Reach out and let’s chat about what’s possible.
