Projects completed for my Customers.
SPOTS before your EYES
This is a fab makeover for my customer.
She had a throw which was not quite wide enough, so, I placed it at an angle and had to add just a few more centimetres at the bottom to allow me to fix it in place. |
Another happy customer!!!
View from top.
This shows the fabric pattern running from corner to corner. It worked out just right and the expense for my customer was just a few Euros. Now for the cushion covers. These few changes have made her lounge look completely different. Why not revamp and save many Euros!!! |
Soft Green & Peach in Satin Cotton
These are a special order for a customer and are made in the finest of cotton with a satin finish.
The border is in a Peach color of the same type of fabric. Tie backs are also edged in the same colour. Easy to wash and just need a light press. They were unlined as she did not want to block out all of the day light. |
Tie Backs
There are many styles of Tie Backs on the market but the traditional style still has a beauty of its own.
Fringes can be added or just a tassle, maybe some bead work in a contrasting color. Which ever is your choice, it will add a splendid finish to you curtains. |
ANOTHER HAPPY CUSTOMER
On the left you can see a complete Bedroom Set.Comprising of Tab Top Curtains, Duvet Cover, 2 Pillow Slips and 2 Cushion Covers.
100% Cotton. The print of horses fabric came from Germany. I had to search as this was a special request. Piped edges gave it a super finish. This is a present for her Grand Daughter, who has a horse and as her Grand Dad said. " She would sleep with the horse given the chance". I truly hope she enjoys this gift as it was a pleasure to make for her. |

Raspberry and Clementine
Adding the Clementine accent to this pink and white
patterned bedroom gives it even more impact as well as a more contemporary
edge. When you’ve got two bold shades like this in one scheme, keep the rest of
the room pared back and simple; the white bamboo furniture adds subtle texture
without competing for attention, as does the natural woven flooring
|
Heather and eau de nil
A beautiful colour for small or dark rooms, painting
the walls in a pale eau de nil will make any space feel bigger, brighter and
lighter. Team this light enhancing shade with soft heather bed linen and you’ve
created the perfect scheme for a bedroom. For the floor try painted floorboards
to create a more rustic country feel, or a cream carpet for a room that feels
more luxurious.
|
Aquamarine and fern
This shade of aqua instantly brings a feeling of sunny summer days into your
home no matter what it’s like outside. Combine painted walls with one floral
papered area, which could be behind your sofa, or a chimney breast or alcove to
revitalise a dark living room. Bare wood furniture and a pale wood floor are a
perfect natural contrast to the bright colours. Finally pick out the fern green
from the wallpaper and use in a couple of accessories in the room such as
plants or a cushion or throw.

Mix and Match
Just look and see how many different fabrics you can put together to make that Special Room.
Today we are led to buy what the shops offer you. Many go for the Black & White, Coffee & Cream and Blue & Green. These are found in a million homes. Why not be different and have your ideas in a design for your room. It isn't hard to do. First, think, of different textures, fur , silk, weaves. Then think of a design, stripes, spots, floral abstract and plain. Then think of additions , such as , tassles, ribbons, beads, borders, pipings and patchworks. Gather samples, this is easy to do from the internet and shops. One thing a room always needs and that is plants or florals. Also, mirrors add space, light and can be an impressive feature on a large wall. There are so many wall arts now to choose from. but I will be giving you some ideas on making your own for a fraction of the cost. BEDROOM CURTAINS WITH DUMMY BLIND
Here you can see bedroom curtains and a dummy blind in a rich ruby Voile. The Pelmet has a center piece hand sewn in beads and a tassel. The blind is attached by Velcro to a simple batten. It is finished with a fringed edge to match the Pelmet. DOUBLE LAYER CURTAINS
Create your own stunning design
As shown in the image, a self design by a customer. Tie Backs are made up on cream silk with edges of brilliant amber and crystal beading. Side and top panels are made up of the same fabric as the curtains. They are attached to the curtain track by using Velcro. The top curtains are in Voile, cream with a light gold stripe. The under curtain is a sheer white synthetic fabric. Because of this design you can change the look of the curtain, by opening and closing each layer. |
NEW FROM OLD... Fancy a change of curtains but still like what you
have, you can revamp them. This is easier than you think, low cost and takes very little time and effort. 1.. Reline with a contrasting colored fabric but bring the fabric over to the right side of curtain down the sides. With any fabric left over make some cushion covers. 2.. Buy a wide border print in a heavy fabric could be with tassles or a weave and sew along bottom edge or sides. You can make tie backs with this and or you could also just add tassles along the top. 3.. If you have no pelmet why not add one in a contrasting color. You can fix it with a pelmet rod or make a hardboard cut out. This can look really classy and best to cover with a thin foam for a padded look and place fabric over. DOUBLE SIDED CURTAINS
Change the mood of your
room with this simple idea. When making curtains line them with a coloured fabric. To be able to use them as either side showing in your room, they need to be tab top or just with clips. BEADED TIE BACKS
Close up of Tie Back
There are many designs for tie backs. The simplest of Tie Backs can be embellished with a fringe, braids, buttons covered with fabric, cord or tassels, contrasting or coordinated colors. To show them here is impossible but please email us and we can forward you some ideas, when designing your soft furnishings. SHOWN BELOW IS MY DESIGN CALLED WINGS
Add a touch of elegance or go for the dramatic. The choice is yours. Let us guide you when creating your furnishings. Swags, Tails and Wings are just a few choices. Traditional or modern, either will give a superb finish to your dressed window . |
