It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Can you believe we’re only about 2 weeks away from Christmas? We can’t wait – we love the holiday season. Decorations, food, friends, family, food, presents, food, snow… did we mention food? We wanted to let our clients know about our holiday schedule. Our last day in the showroom will be Saturday, December 22 and we won’t be back in until Tuesday, January 8, 2013. So if you have any outstanding orders you need for Christmas, you need to pick them up by December 22. On that note, we can still do some rush orders – if you get it in now. As long as you have your own fabric, we can have it ready for you to enjoy for Christmas. But you have to call or drop in...

Why Should You Choose Custom Roman Blinds?

We wanted to talk about custom Roman blinds. You’ve probably heard about them before and we wanted to explain why Elegant Changes thinks they are perfect for your home. Roman blinds are made for windows from fabric that folds into pleats when the blinds are raised. They’ve also been called fabric shades or Roman shades, but one thing’s for sure – Roman blinds are popular because they fit into a variety of interior decor schemes. To make custom Roman blinds, we take a solid fabric panel and mount slats into the back of it. The slats are attached to cords that pull the slats together when the blind is raised. This forces the fabric to fold into pleats. There are...

If you’re going to pull a room together properly,...

Finish a Room Properly with Custom Drapery

Finish a Room Properly with Custom Drapery

Custom drapery – the oft forgotten element of home décor. It’s an afterthought. You put all this time and money into redecorating a room and end up with ready-made drapes on the windows. It’s like spending thousands on a designer outfit for yourself and topping it off with a $5 hair cut. It just throws the whole look off. Elegant Changes has seen a perfectly gorgeous room ruined thanks to sub-par draperies. And we believe that if you’re going to redo a room right, you’d better put some thought into custom drapery. Drapery pulls a room together, showcases the windows and adds warmth (especially important this time of year). Ready-made drapes you pick up at a...
