Reflecting on 2024: A Year of Memorable Projects and Partnerships

As 2024 draws to a close, we're grateful for a year of meaningful collaborations and projects that called for creativity and expertise. From historic properties to new construction, each project reinforced the importance of attention to detail and comprehensive project management in custom window treatments. Here is a look at some of this year’s most memorable projects and experiences.

The Art of Collaboration

This project was featured in Savannah Magazine. Design by William Peacock Design.

We returned to a home in Ford Field & River Club designed by William Peacock, where we previously fabricated and installed a variety of custom window treatments and soft goods in bold colors and prints. We worked with William Peacock Design to create a custom valance that incorporated his client's needlepoint panels.

The process required thoughtful consideration of every detail—from panel placement to the selection of micro welt cord framing and integration of contrast fabric in the pleats. This project was a true collaboration between designer, client, and workroom that resulted in a highly personalized, one-of-a-kind window treatment.

Full-Service Support for Virtual Collaborations

We worked virtually with Nashville-based Sarah Bartholomew Design on this new construction project in Palmetto Bluff. Managing custom window treatments for eleven rooms required precise coordination and clear communication, all handled without the design team needing to be on site. We fabricated and installed a variety of window treatments and soft goods, including custom draperies and sheers, Roman shades, café curtains, custom panels for a canopy bed, and cushions for the pool house.

Planning and coordination with the designer and builder through the construction process was vital to ensure there were no surprises on installation day. We kept the Nashville design team updated on every phase of progress through virtual consultations and photo updates.

Craftsmanship in the Details

This year brought many opportunities where our technical expertise was needed - skills we’ve developed through decades of custom fabrication experience.

In one notable project, we crafted drapery panels with a wooden tassel trim carefully sewn into the leading edge of the treatment. Accurate measurements and calculations ensured the precise placement and consistent projection of all three custom-bent French return rods mounted on the window molding.

Historic Character Meets Modern Functionality

Another memorable project was our work at a historic townhouse. Working with a fellow woman business owner and friend made this renovation project special. We selected fabrics and trims for a variety of treatments—custom draperies, Roman shades, and woven wood shades—each designed to complement the home's historic character while meeting modern functionality needs.

Industry Insights from High Point Market

High Point Market —the largest home furnishings trade show in the world—has been on my list of events to attend. This year, with some industry friends and colleagues, I was able to attend for the first time.

Warm tones and traditional patterns took center stage at many of the showrooms.

I was particularly interested in observing the design trends being highlighted by prominent furniture makers and design influencers. Walking through the showrooms revealed a shift toward warmer colors, with terracotta, mauve, wine, and mulberry taking center stage in fabrics and decor.

I'm excited to incorporate these tones in upcoming projects, but it was also nice to see our Lowcountry blues and greens still well represented.

Looking Forward with Gratitude

This year brought projects that allowed us to use our creativity and expertise in many ways—from designing and fabricating bespoke window treatments and soft goods to coordinating complex installations. Each project reinforced the value of technical knowledge, clear communication, and careful planning. We are so grateful for our clients and designers, who trust us with their design vision.

We're proud to have served Savannah and the Low Country for over 30 years as a woman-owned small business. Looking ahead to 2025, we're excited about upcoming installations and the start of new projects, and continuing to provide an exceptional experience to our clients.
