Happy Halloween everyone

Some time has passed since I’ve done much Pinning. My Pinterest consumption got a little out of control back in the days of wedding planning. Now that I’ve had a respectable break, I thought it wouldn’t hurt to explore some seasonal imagery. All good things in moderation, right?

How will you be decorating for the fall this year?

When we bought the house this summer, I already couldn’t wait for fall. The thought of colorful leaves, festive pumpkins, and wonderful baked goods were highly exciting. With October now upon us and a batch of apple crisp under my belt (literally), my focus has shifted to a more responsible viewpoint: staying warm this winter.

Window treatments are an excellent way to improve the energy efficiency of your home. I consider mine as an investment that will compliment years of pellets my husband will stockpile in our basement. But the benefits don’t stop there! Great treatments add privacy - especially valuable with the shorter days and longer nights of winter. As an added bonus, updating window treatments can also be a great way to bring new life to a tired room. With the holidays quickly approaching, now is the perfect time to get your home ready to impress impending guests.

If you are looking to update the treatments in your home or office, please don’t hesitate to call. I’d love to help you stay warm and fashionable this holiday season.

Finally, before I go, here is a tip I must share. Window treatments are like dress shirts - they need to be ironed. Messy, wrinkled, sloppy curtains look bad. The creases from when you took them out of the package are not a design characteristic that was meant to be preserved. Please iron your curtains people!

Some projects are small, some projects are large. Some projects are fast, some projects take years.

As you will recall from previous posts (here and here), I have had the fortunate opportunity to participate in the Endicott Hotel renovation for the last year or so. At long last, our chapter has closed on this project and the happy tenants have moved in.

The images below capture the large unit (blues/green), the smaller unit (reds/orange), and the common areas we furnished/staged.
