Sweet Dreams ......

What do I like most of all about my "REAL" job?

The opportunity to be creative.

I love to create.

Being able to  be creative while working at my

"REAL JOB"

is something that I am very fortunate to be able to do. 

Here is one of my absolute favorite rooms I created for a client...

This was done for one of my favorite client's daughters.

I have done almost every room in their beautiful house.

She is a client who I now consider a friend.

I always enjoy having her call with the next project.

I designed and made everything except the bedspread.

The canopy with crown required a total of 40 yards of fabric. 

We used a soft ivory and pale lavender dupioni silk

for the  panels and crown. 

 Between the ivory and lavender silk

we used interlining to make it more luxurious.

Lots of beaded trim was used to embellish the crown

and leading edge of the panels.

The pillows were made from an additional bedspread and coordinating fabrics.

 

In addition to the bed,

 I designed a window treatment for the large bay window.

The cornice was covered by shirring on the lavender silk fabric.

I added a triangle swag edged with the beaded trim.

The swag was attached by using two decorative drapery finials.

 

The dressing table needed a bench.

She wanted it to be like an upholstered piece of furniture.

I had never made one before,

but what the heck,

 I would give it a try.....

Not bad for a first attempt!

I decided to make a plywood box  with a top on it.

Then I just covered the entire box with the fabrics.

 I added a thick piece of foam on top,

covered it with fabric and added some buttons.

The other day I got a call from my friend "the client" ...

Her youngest daughter just graduated

and decided to live at home while going to school.

She wants a room just like her BIG sister....

Can't wait to get started!

I'll share photos when the job is complete.

I'll be linking up to....
