A designer’s mind is ALWAYS designing
I am passionate about window treatments, as if you didn’t already know that. I love this business so much, even after 30 years, that I manage to find inspiration for my unique designs in the most unusual places.
Most of the time the weekend does not mean I leave my projects behind. My mind is constantly going through the Rolodex of current, perspective and past custom window treatment projects.
Designing window treatments brings me lots of JOY
We’ve escaped to Cape Cod for one last weekend before our daughter heads back to college. As many of you know it has been a very eventful summer for our family. Our son moved into his first house and our daughter had major surgery. She is feeling far better than any of us imagined. Check out Amy’s Back.
Sitting at the beach is total relaxation for me. My mind is free to wander. It is in this nothingness that everything I look at inspires a design for a window treatment. Designing is more like child’s-play than work.
Hard sand at low tide makes a great drawing board
The tiniest of pure white seashells stand out among the grains of sand.
A sprig, if that’s what it’s called, of seaweed dances and sways with the incoming waves.
Adding in the motifs of the fabric to the window treatment sketch in the sand.
Boat/dock lines inspired the decorative trim along a valance.
Ocean blue and sandy beige beach themed fabrics will be used to create a beach themed window treatment.
See the design in the studio for this project.
Check back in a few days to see the completed design in my Cape Cod clients beach house.
I’m heading back to dip my toes in Cape Cod Bay
Happy Weekend!
XOXO
