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

Book Description

DECORATING To the growing list of how-to books on curtains and blinds (e.g., Yvonne Rees's Quick and Easy Curtains and Blinds, LJ 1/96, and Carol Parks's Complete Book of Window Treatments and Curtains, Lark, 1994), Luke brings her expertise as head of a soft furnishings school. She begins each book with clear, well-illustrated instructions on basics such as sewing techniques, measuring, equipment, and set-up. She then proceeds with directions for the simplest treatments unlined curtains and roller blinds continues with more complicated designs such as interlined drapes and Austrian blinds and concludes with embellishments and decorations. A glossary and care instructions are also included. Missing are illustrations of the various hardware used for curtain and shade hangings that is included in Parks's book, which prevents these books from being truly comprehensive. Still, these are solid additions where more window treatment instruction books are needed.-
