Greetings!

I sometimes love being a fly on the wall - don't you? It's fun to get a behind the scenes look at something that you might already own or be interested in owning. So, for a bit of fun I'd like to give you a backstage look at window treatments. I hope you'll enjoy this interview with a custom drapery workroom - you'll get the "what's what" on customer window treatments from an insider's perspective.

 

And if you didn't get a chance to read last week's blog, "Success Working with Multiple Contractors on a Design Project," click here.

 

As ever, hope this finds you well!  Enjoy!

 Interview with a Window Workroom 


 scissors

 

Custom window treatments are a bit of a mystery to most people so I thought it'd be fun for you to peek inside a custom workroom in this interview. You'll be hearing from Peggy, who is hands down my favorite custom drapery workroom. Peg and her team are responsible for interpreting my beautiful designs and turning them into client-thrilling and beautiful reality, and I've been working with Peg for 15 years.

Donna:  What do you think customers would be most shocked to learn regarding custom treatments and their fabrication?

Peggy: How truly hard window treatments are to do and to do well! It takes a lot of time, a lot of skill and a lot of practice - I've been at this for a long time. The level of detail and length of time it takes to put something together would really surprise people. Every project, every treatment is so different each and every time - and each treatment has its own idiosyncrasies. People would also be surprised to learn that there's a lot more hand stitching than they'd expect, and how physically demanding a job it is to build a window treatment. It's heavy work!
