We're off to the Lakes tomorrow.

So tomorrow we are at the Patterdale Hotel, the decorators were there last week and we will be fitting all the new window treatments in the bar and restaurant. The bar is called 'Bar Fell Inn' which apparently it nearly did a few years ago during some building work! We are then off to the Keswick Country House Hotel to finish a small job there with a sneaky overnight stay - the food in their restaurant is really good so looking forward to that.

I'll try to rmemeber my camera and post a few pics later in the week.

We're having a run on these at the moment for some reason.

Don't forget we do all types of blinds as well as curtains:

Romans, Rollers, Venetian, Pleated, Panels.

Wood Venetian

Sunway Multishade

Japanese Panel

Harlequin Momentum

Harlequin's latest collection Momentum features opulent velvets, silks and satins, alongside beaded and metallic wallpapers.

Today in the workroom

Need to lock myself in the workroom for the next few days, curtains and blinds need to made for the Patterdale Hotel which is undergoing a refurb, a great hotel for walkers if ever you're in the area.

The Blackpool Arch !

Many houses on the Fylde Coast have windows with what is known as 'the Blackpool Arch' in front of them. Notoriously difficult to dress in aN elegant way I think we achieved it in this room by making Roman blinds to fit at the windows with dress curtains on the outside of the arch.

Fabric from India

I don't like to make up curtains in customers own fabric, but this customer had been looking for months and every fabric he chose just blew the budget as he needed over 80 metres for the 5 windows. He called me from India to ask if I'd make a fabric he'd found so I agreed as he''s a valued customer.

I couldn't believe it when it eventually arrived, it was like sewing a carpet but as much as it's something I would not choose myself the finished look was perfect for his home.

Today.................

I've organised everything for the remainder of my appointments this week so can concentrate on displays and organising the workroom :-)
