Last fitting on Friday but we’ll worth the wait. Gorgeous Ian Sanderson fabric made into a lightweight blackout lined pair of curtains and no , I haven’t forgotten to put the rods in the blind ! Client loves the relaxed drape for her Roman blinds. This one had blackout lining to keep out the suns glare
A little bit of revamping last week … firstly this pair of green linen curtains had a complete religning and we moved the trim to remove the sun faded edge of each curtain .
Then in another room the curtains could not be salvaged due to water damage so a completely new pair were made … just like that !
Last week was a busy one ! Lots of finished blinds and curtains off to new homes .
These 2 bedrooms underwent a complete redecoration, stripy blinds and cushions for a young man and then soft and light neutrals for his sister .
I love going on holiday but it’s wonderful to come home too especially when the garden is in full bloom. We had some brilliant housesitters who did a fantastic job with the watering . Unpacked now and ready to get back in my studio in the morning 😁
Enjoying a 2 week break from our busy lives in wonderful Northumberland . Lots of walks , beaches , cups of tea , old castles with amazing curtains …. ( Well I have to have a bit of a fix ! ) and a few cream teas and amazing plant centres that I am now banned from as we won’t fit it all in the car …apparently 😊
A final phase fitting today in the renovated cottage I’ve been working on with my clients. Prestigious embroidered fabric made cosy with heavy interlining and soft cottage top heading. I was treated to lunch as a thank you 😊
Something a little different but definitely worth posting . I bought this dilapidated garden seat on eBay last year at a bargain price thinking just a lock of paint would improve it 😊. But my very lovely but perfectionist husband decided it needed taking apart , replacing about half of the timber and then rebuilding . It’s taken a while and not quite as much money as buying a new one but he finished it yesterday 🥰🥰. Can highly recommend their outdoor range. And can recommend hubby but he’s not for sale 🤣🤣
And then I’ve really enjoyed working alongside builders and the client to finally finish this renovation of a village cottage. Final blinds and voiles fitted this morning in time for owners arrival tomorrow morning … phew just in time !
Looking forward to a nice long weekend before returning next week to discuss curtains for the living area
I am so glad Friday is here ! It’s been a mad but rewarding week firstly fitting this Roman blind in a gorgeous old farmhouse . Matching cushions of course !
Nice and easy final fit today of this Roman blind and cushions in gorgeous William Morris Fabric . Lots of hard work put in by and many other trades. Cosy new bedroom for a very pleased client
And then in the opposite direction we fitted these curtains and Roman blind in a recently redecorated bedroom. Lovely Colefax and Fowler fabric and hung under a contemporary painted track ( expertly fitted of course by )
It’s so rewarding to see a room designed and completed to perfection. Well done and team !
I’ve had a bit of a week travelling around the countryside ….at least the snow has disappeared 🥶.
These set of 3 blinds were made in gorgeous Liberty Fabric and were welcomed by my client as the mornings are getting lighter.
Really pleased to fit these curtains today in a Sussex Beach house. 4m wide window overlooking the beach and a few scatter cushions to complete the look … yes that is the sea that close !
I have been working honestly !! Just waiting for fabric deliveries so in the small interval I managed to make these for me …only had the fabric for a year but happy to finally have our bedroom finished trim
Quick little fitting this morning for a neighbour of these 3 linen Roman blinds. They have been fitted onto wooden battens but with all the up to date safety features added 😇😇.
Just waiting for some bespoke curtain rails to be delivered and I can finish the room with some door curtains to match !
First fitting of the year today in this country home. A slightly different make for this relaxed Roman blind in Fermoie linen fabric . Glad to be back making again !
A very blustery day in Folkestone for a New Years Ève treat . Happy New Year to all our family and friends #2023 ☔
They made it to their new home through the snow !
Sometimes a fabric is just asking for symmetry ! These curtains are loaded into the car ready for fitting tomorrow … watch this space …
Next up was a reupholstered headboard for an attic bedroom. We recently fitted new blinds in here but this just needed a finishing touch ready for wedding guests this weekend. Stripped off the old fabric , reshaped the top and then used a simple gingham check to recover.
And then these beauties to complement a newly decorated room. A little bit of quirky ness too in the form of a repurposed tie back I sourced in the exact colour .
Been catching up with myself over the last couple of weeks so haven’t had much time to post …firstly these lovely Linwood velvet curtains and Roman blinds . Fitted onto new wooden mahogany poles. Client loves colour so chose a matching saffron coloured lining to blend with her walls 😊. And all fitted just before the snow arrived.
Nice and easy fitting today of these unlined linen curtains. Simple cartridge pleat hanging on a smart black pole expertly fitted by .
A little bit of make do and mend yesterday . These silk curtains and blind had fallen apart on the edges after 10 years of life. So we added a contrast fabric to the leading edge on the curtains and blind and removed a whole pleat of rotten fabric on the other edge. Plenty of life left in them now !
And 1 final blind to finish off a busy Friday 😊. The easiest to fit on the front of another lovely oak beam
Another difficult corner with these 2 small windows above each other. There was already a curtain pole in situ so we made a full length pleated curtain to draw from left to right. Lined and interlined to keep out any winter draughts.
My client has been waiting since May for these blinds … not my fault at all 😊. Just trying to find a decorator to wallpaper the walls in this attic bedroom. This is a vintage Colefax and Fowler fabric and this relaxed Roman blind effect was chosen to dress the windows. We added a blackout lining and some contrast binding . A bit of a 1980s flashback but one very happy customer.
I do love a beam but sometimes that can make fitting blinds a bit tricky ! I had the help of my clients handyman to drill the brackets in this solid oak , we had to negotiate curved uprights and protruding walks as well. A few large scatter cushions to make now to “fill the space “ under the blind .
