Day 1 We are at Newport Coast today and this is
the house of Don and Mini Morris and we are dressing up their windows. We are working
on the living room, dining room, master bedroom, and a dressing area. We would like to go ahead
and welcome you to the inside and show you the work so please follow us.
OK the moldings in these rooms happen to be projecting pretty far into the room. So we
are now starting to work on creating some brackets that are custom made so they can
accommodate all of the projections that are in the room. And it looks like we should be
doing ok, looks like you guys got it all figured out. You guys are doing a great job. Day 2
OK so we’re back. We’re back to the master bedroom / dressing area. We are going to continue
to complete this job. The last time we ran into some challenges in the way the valance
was done. It wasn’t quite the way I wanted to have it done so I chose to take it down
and take it back and have it altered. And so we are back. We also have re-pleated the
drapes. This is a little bit more of the area to cover. I have gone ahead and placed the
pins in them and I’m ready to go ahead and hang these up. Once these are all up we are
going to bring the valance up and see how it turns out.
Since we are an importer of our own fabrics and a manufacturer, we import fabrics from
India. On this particular fabric I want you to look at it very closely. You will see that
it’s very well done and it’s embroidered. This was a custom order for this client. Also
notice the Swarovski crystal banding we put on here. It was also custom made from Swarovski
specifically for this specific client. Swarovski of course is a brand name of crystal and down
here we only went with four rows because of the scope of the job and the size of the draperies,
where downstairs we went with six rows of crystal because we want to have a little more
crystal down there do to the height
of the drapes. It looks good. I dressed that and now I’m
going to go ahead and dress up the side panels. The cascades and swags are out now and they
look really, really pretty. They look like they need to relax a little bit. Usually after
the work is done you want to go around and make sure the pleats are falling out again.
The dressing is probably a good 80 percent of the job I would say when it comes to instillation.
It’s all about how you go about dressing your drapes and making sure they are folded
up correctly. So I’m going to do that on the panels as we go along here.
It’s been a long day. We’ve been working all day and we got this part of the house
in as well which is the swags and cascades. I like the way the trim shows on this. I like
the crystal dazzle that we added on here. We put some really beautiful crystal drapery
hold backs on here. These are pieces of crystal drapery hardware that we make ourselves.
Now the room is done and it looks really, really nice. This is a room that was completely
empty before and now it looks quite dressed up and so we’ve got it all done here.
