Cottage prints and soft top treatments are back, and this recent project was the perfect way to layer custom personality onto windows that already had functional shades.

Instead of traditional swags, this home called for modern simplicity with custom details:
✨ Cohesive Design: Matching valances for every downstairs window, seamlessly bridging two wall colors and vintage wallpaper.
✨ Shaped Edges: Custom bottom curves designed to draw the eye across the room.
✨ Subtle Contrast: Inverted pleats featuring a contrasting accent fabric for an unexpected pop of style.

A tailored top treatment is the perfect way to elevate existing blinds and reflect your unique style!

Let’s start planning your custom window treatments!

For this charming historic home in Norris, we explored a few different ideas to give the space that “little something extra.”

Keeping the focus on the beautiful architectural details, we painted the upper window covers to match the walls—allowing that gorgeous white cottage trim to truly pop!

For behind the sink, classic cafe curtains were the perfect solution. Custom-tailored to hover just above the ledge, they add soft, relaxed movement while keeping everyday life practical:

Fabric: A breezy, water-cleanable sheer that stands up to splashy sink moments while letting the natural light pour in.

Hardware: Custom thin rods and sleek rings crafted right here in the USA by Helser Brothers Drapery Hardware

From historic restorations to modern builds, I design, fabricate, and install window treatments of all shapes and sizes—bringing warmth, elegance, and tailored function to homes across East Tennessee.

Magic is always in the details. 🪡
When off-the-shelf trim just won’t do, we make our own! For these solid drapery panels, I created a completely custom, one-of-a-kind leading edge trim using a decorative cord to edge this stunning embroidered fabric.

It takes a little extra time, a lot of precise sewing, and a whole lot of love for the art of custom window treatments—but the finished look? Absolutely unmatched.

Custom design isn’t just about choosing a fabric; it’s about crafting those unique, bespoke accents that bring a room to life.

Another project in the books! These beautiful panels were originally made elsewhere, years ago. Unfortunately, dry cleaning damaged the original lining. Fortunately, we were able to save the face fabric and replace the lining just below the grommets. Now they will continue hanging beautifully for many years to come.

Designing for a returning client is the absolute highest compliment! I’m so thrilled to share this beautiful second nursery for a lovely family.

For the windows, we created custom Roman shades in a gorgeous linen-like fabric. I meticulously handstitched every inch of that geometric tape trim for a true artisan finish! They are also completely cordless and blackout-lined—perfect for safe, peaceful nap times. 🌙

The cozy reading nook features a custom, water-cleanable bench cushion (a nursery must-have!) and a subtle tiger-print pillow that perfectly ties into the window trim.

Custom home decor is an investment, but doing it right the first time means it will function just as beautifully as it looks. Thank you for supporting local business and trusting me to bring this high-end craftsmanship to your home!

Mirrors, magnifying mirrors, and glass or crystal decor can cause disaster. Check their placement in your home before the sun catches you off guard!

Hand-stitching is a labor of love, and the difference between a window treatment that looks "done" and one that looks truly refined. There is a certain rhythm to the slow task of hand-tacking pleats. While it takes significantly longer than machine stitching, it allows for a level of precision and a soft, couture finish that you just can’t achieve any other way. That needle and thread work ensures the pleats hold their shape perfectly for years to come.

In this project, the goal was seamless consistency. I installed a one-way draw pinch pleated drapery and paired it with matching valances. By mounting the valances at the exact same height as the drapery rod, the eye travels effortlessly around the room, creating a balanced, cohesive flow that makes the entire space feel more expansive.
It’s these small, artisan details—the ones you have to slow down for—that create a final product worth the wait.

It’s true what they say—artisan details really do make all the difference.

Every element of these custom panels was crafted with precision. Hand-stitched trim and meticulously finished hems ensure a flawless, tailored hang. Behind the scenes, high-quality napped lining works hard to protect the face fabric from sun damage while increasing light filtration and adding a luxurious, full-bodied volume to every fold.

A beautiful treatment also requires a strong foundation. These panels are styled on custom French return rods, securely mounted directly into the wall studs to guarantee maximum durability and a seamless, high-end finish.

Custom crafted from measurement to installation.

Bright, bold, and tailored!

I am loving this playful pattern mix. Custom window treatments like this striped valance are the perfect way to add personality to a laundry room, elevate the space, and frame a beautiful view.
