Okay, last change... I think:) You'll have to overlook the Halloween decorations. After living with my new window treatments for a few weeks, I discovered I loved the material, but not the style. It was a little to froo-froo in the breakfast area. I like a little more of a tailored look, like roman shades. I met a sweet older woman at Lowe's when I originally bought the curtains. Her name was Mary Smith and she gave me her card. She said she could sew me something if I didn't find what I wanted. I saw her again, working at Chick filet. I called her and asked her if she could make dummy roman shades out of 2 lined panels. She did it for me for the cost of the valences that I returned. Yay! I love them!!! She even made me a table runner with the left over material (I have the burlap one I made in the top 2 pics and the one she made on the bottom 3 pics). I really like Mary! It turns out that she and her husband fostered several children over the years as we did. Her husband was unfortunately killed by a train when he was about my age. I will definitely use her when I decorate other people's homes.
I began by transforming my own house, room by room and eventually started helping neighbors transform their houses. Today, because of word of mouth, I have a small business where I enjoy helping others with this transformation. I begin with what they have lying around their house, and work with their style and budget to help them transform their houses into homes.
