Designer's Workroom project featured in Architectural Digest Magazine!

November 2010
Well this month was full of surprises for all of us...we were featured in 2 high profile magazines all in the same month!! Check out the November 2010 issue of the Architectural Digest that is on news stands now and go to page 150, 151, and 157...all of the window treatments and bedding you see photographed were designed and made right here at our workroom in Plano Texas!!
 


Have you ever wondered how something so elaborate as the bed canopy featured in this article comes together?  It starts with a design or sketch that in this case was created by Designer's Workroom leading drapery designer, Jaclynn Cauthorn.  From start to finish, Jaclynn brought every detail to life from her original sketch.

The Process...
Once the sketch was approved, hours and hours of time was spent figuring how to build it in pieces so that it could be transported and assembled.  From there, tickets and work orders were created with explicit details written so that not one measurement would be missed.  Once everything was ready, Jaclynn & Donnie along with our team of installers headed to the Ranch and oversaw every aspect of the installation from start to finish.  I'd say the hard work and attention to detail payed off!

Fresh Look...Draperies, Valance, Windsong Woven Reeded Shade, Furniture Upholstery, & Custom Furniture Project- Plano, Texas

This bedroom was given a really nice makeover, that really brightened and gave the room a more uniformed and welcoming feel.  We replaced the dark wood shutters with a vanilla Conrad style natural woven reeded shade from the Wind Song Collection, then replaced the busy pattern draperies and valance with a bold blue stripe and gave the valance a cleaner and more updated look...we railroaded the fabric on the valance to give some added interest and really "frame" the window.  We also added a gathered dust skirt around the frame of the bed.  Re-upholstering the furniture really tied everything together, and adding a custom built ottoman with tufted top finished off the room really well.  Here are a few Before & After's....enjoy!
