When a Seacoast client came to us with a collection of colorful fabrics they'd fallen in love with, they had a vision — they just needed help bringing it to life. The goal was to create custom valances for a pair of large bay windows, and we were excited to make it happen.
The process started remotely. The client sent us photos of their fabrics and windows, and we responded with color sketches so they could visualize exactly how the finished treatments would look in their space. Getting that design approval before any fabric is cut is always worth the extra step — it means everyone is on the same page and there are no surprises down the road.

Once the design was approved, we visited their home to take precise measurements of both windows. Bay windows present a unique challenge because of their angled geometry, and accurate measurements are everything.
Back in our workroom, we constructed both treatments and pre-mounted them onto headrails that were carefully cut with angled joins — while still being divided into three segments per window for practical handling and transport. This approach lets us do the heavy lifting in the workroom, so the installation at the client's home goes smoothly and efficiently.
And smoothly it went. We unfolded each headrail on-site and mounted the complete treatments above the windows — and they fit like gloves. The colorful fabrics the client had chosen looked exactly as we'd sketched, bringing warmth and personality to the rooms.

It's one of those projects that reminds us why we love what we do.
