I am in contact with several households each year and one of the questions I always ask is , “What is your preferred style?” Sometime this question is easily answered and sometimes it is not. The traditional people know for sure they are traditional and the contemporary people know they are contemporary but the other styles fall somewhere in the middle of all that. Most people will define their style based on what they see in advertisements. Retail stores like Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware and Ikea have established a style all of their own.

Many people own small cottages on a lake in addition to their primary home. I had already completely a 2 story window treatment in their primary residence and they loved it so much they wanted me to do their ‘Lake ‘ home windows as well. I was so excited to be able to work on a completely different style of window treatment compared to the previous heavy, luxurious look. When the client met me out at the Lake House I was in love… It was cute, well constructed, and had great bones!
