Country Boy Restaurant in Leipers Fork, TN

Earlier

this year,

I was

asked to

make

Roman

shades

for

"Country Boy Restaurant", a darlin' diner in Leipers Fork, TN.

The food is wonderful (best Tomato Basil Soup I've ever had!!)

and the atmosphere inviting --

Slipcover

The fabric

just 'makes' this

slipcover! It's at

once cheerful

and comforting.

Details in Bedding

I love when clients

ask me to add detail

to their treatments.

Our client wanted

the clean lines of a

pleated ruffle for her

pillow shams and

around the perimeter

of the twin duvets.

We added covered

buttons for duvet closures.

The gathered silk striped dust skirts and coordinating throw pillows finish the look for this cheerful guest bedroom.

Balloons are back

I've been fabricating more Balloon Shades lately. The photo shows a Balloon Shade, lined and interlined, in a creamy coral pink with fringe along the bottom edge. As formal as this one is in silk, it also has a simple elegance that I truly enjoy!

Who's that doggie in the window?

As my maiden blog, I thought I'd start by answering a question which I've been asked several times ... "Did you take that picture or is it from "ClipArt"?" On my website and in advertising, I use this photograph which I took at my client's, Lynne's, house. We had just installed the copper silk draperies (so beautiful, especially in person!) and Lynne's Ruby King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, named Lilly, sat down by the draperies and looked out of the window. This was truly a Kodak Moment; we both ran for our cameras!

Thank you, Lynne and Lilly, for such a wonderful memory and beautiful photograph!
