​When people think about hiring a decorator, they often picture full-scale room makeovers or costly renovations. But the truth is, thoughtful design doesn't always mean big changes—and sometimes the smallest updates bring the biggest satisfaction.

Take this recent project, for example. Our client had been busy working on larger updates throughout their home, and this one small side window had fallen to the bottom of the list. It wasn’t a focal point—just a modest window letting in too much sun by day and the glare of driveway lights at night. Still, it was affecting the comfort and feel of the room.

After we had installed a simple valance and coordinated cushion nearby, the window began to stand out—and not in the best way. It clearly needed a finishing touch.

That’s where a custom-fitted cellular shade came in. Sleek, discreet, and incredibly functional, this shade offered just the right amount of privacy and light control. We chose a Top-Down/Bottom-Up model, giving our client flexible options: full coverage for total privacy, a clear upper view with lower shade, or anything in between.

Just like that, the space felt complete. No major overhaul, no major budget—just a little thoughtful design that made a big difference.

Sometimes it really is the little things that pull a space together.

Start small. Feel the difference. We’re just a message away.

It’s amazing how something as simple as cushions  can completely transform a space—and that’s exactly what happened in this recent project along the Atlantic coast.
​
Our client’s home features expansive window benches calling for a fresh update that would celebrate the home’s coastal character while adding comfort and style.

​For the benches, we focused on fabric choices that captured the light, breezy feel of the ocean—soft blues, sandy neutrals, and classic nautical stripes. To elevate the space even more, we created coordinating pillows in a variety of shapes and sizes. The mix added dimension and brought warmth to the larger window nook, turning it into a true lounging destination.

The result? A bright, fresh, and inviting space—exactly what you’d want in a coastal retreat. Every stitch, cushion, and fabric was chosen to reflect the serenity of the sea while honoring the views from the home.

Tucked into the third floor of a Victorian-era home, a uniquely challenging dormer window called for a creative and elegant window treatment. The goal? To soften the intense southern light filtering through the space while honoring the home's historic charm—and working within serious structural limitations.
​
The dormer featured sloped ceilings and a trio of windows: a center arched window flanked by two rectangular sash windows that extended just past the straight section of ceiling. The client and designer envisioned an operable sheer panel to diffuse the light, but the configuration presented a few hurdles. The operable rod could only be mounted on the flat portion of the ceiling—meaning it wouldn’t span the full width of the window area, nor would it cover the side sash windows.

A simple sheer treatment would have left awkward gaps and exposed the complex geometry of the space. As both a designer and workroom, I collaborated closely with the interior designer to engineer a layered solution that provided visual balance, function, and architectural harmony

Our Solution: Tailored Layers for Seamless Integration
​
To address the asymmetry and ensure complete coverage, we fabricated angled velvet pinch pleat side panels. These stationary panels were ceiling-mounted and carefully cut to follow the slope of the dormer ceiling, visually framing the operable sheer and disguising the areas where the sheer could not extend.

Each velvet panel overlapped the sheer by about six inches, concealing the sheer’s termination points. To soften the look and keep the treatment open without exposing the uncovered sides, simple metal holdbacks were installed. These allowed for a subtle swag of the velvet without revealing the absence of sheer on the far side windows. The holdback placement was critical—not just for aesthetics, but to maintain the illusion of full coverage.
​
The result was a refined “trompe l’oeil” that cleverly disguised the irregularities of the space while delivering softness, light control, and period-appropriate elegance.

A Harmonious Blend of Form and Function
This tailored window treatment not only brought visual order to a chaotic architectural moment but also enhanced the traditional charm of the Victorian home. The final look was both functional and beautiful—balancing historical sensitivity with inventive design.
​
The designer and client were thrilled with the outcome, and we were proud to turn such a complex challenge into a polished, stylish solution.
