Easy breezy trees ! 🌳

A returning client had two sets of curtains - one for her front doors and one for her stairwell windows. They were both lined only curtains but weren't really doing a great job on their key issue - warmth! They wanted to keep the breezes out and the warmth in so, during a previous fitting, I mentioned that you could interline them to help with this issue.

They came back to me and decided to go for it ! So I took apart their curtains and added interlining to them and new lining.

Since we have been having such nice weather the curtains haven't been yet put to full effect but with autumn upon us soon I think we did this at a great time to ensure it's all ready for any winter chills!

Love this fabric too - It's a William Morris print ! And now with interlining added we have breathed a bit more life into the curtains and keeping a lovely fabric print going !

Tension free blind option!

Super proud of these blind in particular as they are of my own invention!

My client wanted to have blind in their velux windows but because the house is a converted barn the velux windows were very unique. They had a crank mechanism to open and close the window and were not a standard size. This meant that blind options that can be used on other velux windows couldn't be used on these.

I decided to take on the challenge and made a prototype of the idea I had - to create a Roman Blind but that went up and down on tension wires. This meant it could be put at an angle but still work as normal Roman blind.

And to my joy - it worked!

These are photos of the final products at my clients house. Each of them have a tension wire either side which allows the blind to sit within the angled window when down and folds up neatly.

My client chose the fabric PALMERO Impasto in a Blush, Ink and Surf colour option for the three bedrooms. (Forgot to take one of the Surf one!)

Really enjoyed the challenge of making these blinds, seeing my idea come to life and fixing the problem facing my client!

A roaring success! 🐅

Four more Roman blinds from my clients house - these ones are from their kitchen!

This one was made with Tigris Teal Fabric from ! Adding some bright colour to their kitchen but keeping in with the fabric theme of the other rooms.

Pattern placement on these blinds were key! Ensuring that when pulled up you could still see the tigers along with making sure both blinds started in the same place - that way they look the same when pulled up!

More birds....

Two blinds in my clients amazing corridor / stairs to the bedrooms. These were made with similar fabric to the study entrance space but a different colour palette. This fabric was Audubon Pink Fabric by

Choosing the same pattern in a different colour option was a great way to have a nod to the entrance space while creating an entirely different space with it's own personality!

Nice little 'working at heights' challenge as well as these windows were at the top of stairwells!

A little bird told me....

That I had forgotten to update you with all the new blinds I installed last month at my clients house so here they are.....

First 4 were in the entrance study and utility rooms all using the Audubon Gold fabric!

I was extremely proud of the large two that you can see in the study as I had to pattern match the two blinds together so that when down they looked like a continual pattern. It was tricky to ensure it completely matched but I loved the challenge of it. Plus it looks so great in place when the blinds are down - worth the time and work (in my opinion!)

Hopefully you can see the effect - as you can see taking photos of a blind down on a sunny day isn't the easiest !

More Roman blinds for this to come....

Long pencil pleat curtains at returning customer's home !

I made these for a customer pre-christmas but as we couldn't make timings work before the celebration season for me to hang the curtains so sent the curtains over to them.

As I was returning to hang some new curtains and a blind I was able to see them in place and was so happy ! They are in my customers daughter's bedroom and they look brilliant (and have kept their lovely curtain pleats which is great to see!)

The fabric was Japanese Wind Navy and it's such a wonderful fabric. With an intricate design that really adds to the space without overwhelming it (and letting their daughters art take all centre stage!)

Love this fabric!

New Pencil Pleat Curtain and Roman Blind!

A returning customer wanted some curtains for their playroom and a blind for their kitchen!

The curtain is blackout in case the playroom ever needs to become a bedroom. The fabric is Cotswolds Linen - it has this really lovely pinky hint in it (which the photo doesn't do justice!).

The Roman blind was just a lovely simple lined option for the kitchen and made with JF Recycled Linen fabric.

It was so wonderful being back to work with a previous customer again and to create some new window treatments to help finish off their amazing spaces!

Double pleat 3m curtains !

Very delayed in posting - sorry!!

This was a curtain I created a couple months ago. It was for a client that had dress curtains along her amazing wall of windows looking over her garden. She wanted to add in curtains that were able to be functional and pull across the full width of windows to give some privacy in the winter! ( Those dark evenings making the windows feel cold and, in my opinion, like people could be looking in.)

I created a pair of curtains that added on to the dress curtains and covered her 4m of fall to ceiling windows. Pattern matching the new curtains to those already in place and ensuring it looked like a continuation of the curtain rather than multiple curtains!

It was a challenge to make sure the curtain started and finished in the same pattern repeat as the current ones along with the same drop... But in the end it all went really well and the client was super happy with them!

I didn't take a full width and length photo but you can see here the top of the curtain in place along with them in my workshop!

Such a wonderful project !

Matching blind&cushions approved by Elvis!

Swipe through and you will meet Elvis...the dog! He loves the new cushions for the bed and approves of the matching blind.

These are in the same room as the curtain in my previous post - I love that my client went with different fabrics in the same room.

The Roman blind on the little window and the cushions over the metal bedframe are in such a fun fabric and really give a pop of personality to the room!

Sad that this project is over and I don't get to look at this awesome fabric anymore (may have to buy some for my own projects!)

Just a small pelmet... Just 3.5m....!!

You saw a sneak peak of the double pinch pleat curtains in the making and here is the finished creation!

The first picture is the curtains all wrapped like a present to keep their fold. They are created in matching fabric to the pelmet which is just a casual 3.5m!

Such a lovely fabric and deep navy colour- highly recommend and well chosen by the client !

Flowers hanging in their new home!

Today was the hanging and styling of the triple pleat curtains. I leave them tied up like presents for 24-48hours to help the curtains learn their folds.

My client loved the fabric of her pencil pleat curtains that had moved with her from her old house but wanted them re-created to fit her new home.

I took apart the curtains and re-designed into these triple pleat beauties - a long single curtain across her front door (to keep those pesky drafts out) and a pair of curtains in her living room.

The fabric was so well made that it really has stood the test of time and I loved being able to save it and reuse it for her new home!

Blackout blinds for kids rooms.....

Now that I look at the pictures they look like the exact same room but I swear it is two different ones!

My client had some blackout curtains in her children's rooms but they weren't doing the job and so had lived for two years with stick up blackout blinds attached to the windows. With the hot weather, not being able to open the windows and feeling like (in her words) she lived in a cave upstairs - it was time to replace the stick up blinds with some Roman black out blinds.

Fabric was from John Lewis and we went with Thermal and blackout lining! It's on a cord pulley system so she can sneak in at night and silently open them and open windows in hot weather!
