Envision & Ingenuity Awards Competition

The Vision 11 Awards competition was exciting this year, it is the first year I have entered. I was so excited when they announced my name during the awards as a winner. While I was a second place winner, it was a honor to be able to accept the award. The competition was stiff this year so anyone that won an award came away with a huge smile and a real feel of a great accomplishment. When all the winners treatments were shared, all you could be is in awe. The designers and workrooms more than surpassed the past years in stepping up their creativity and quality. I entered the workroom side of the competition, the designer of my project was Phillip Suits of Landy Gardner Interiors, located in Nashville Tennessee. My client is also located in Nashville, she was thrilled to hear about the win.The velvet pelmets were all hand sewn, then a 1/4 cord was laid inside 1 inch from the edge following the shape of the the design. Just to add a little surprise for the client and a surprise for those that like to checkout the workmanship behind the scenes I did a fleur-de-lis out of the cord at the long point that only a few will see but a nice little touch. . We did workable drapes and Austrian shades to finish off the window. The clients room was beautiful, I was able to stop by just this last week and she has added a crystal chandelier that is breathtaking that finished off the room.

This was a hard treatment, but one I was very proud of once completed but most of all the client and designer loved the end product. Here is a close up view of the pelmet area.
