By performing a thorough and exhaustive search of all current Window Covering books, subject oriented consumer magazines, trade publications, trade workroom catalogs, interior design firms, retail portfolios, and trade show presentations, Von Tobel identifies and names more than 350 individual, standard and unique, components that can be mixed and matched to create window treatment designs.

The Art of Drapery Design & Installation


Book Description

The information within the pages of this book is not a matter of contemplation, but experience from 52 years working with Interior Designers, workrooms and teaching classes and seminars on drapery design and installation. The focus of this book is to share design considerations, measuring techniques and installation tips relating to custom window treatments. Experience has always been the best educator. A novice has to think his/her way through a project whereas, an experienced craftsman only has to retrace previous steps. The experienced professional is free to contemplate how to improve on what he/she did before rather than trying to figure out how to do something for the first time. In this book you will find 52 years of experience. It is my hope that you excel from the insights I have gleaned and perform at an even a greater level than I. Here's to you and an amazing future! Wishing you all the best ~ Lamar Griggs
