rebecca's rice paper roller shades



For Rebecca I made roller shades with japanese rice paper placed under flat legs and valances of sheer silk. The shades are controlled easily with a loop of beaded cord. These materials glow and provide a lot of light along with complete privacy. I love the sly play of light and air with the silk.

my danish modern chair and favorite pillow


New crisp brown cushions for a thrift store chair, finished off with a pillow I designed and printed while studying fabric design in Florence.

sarah's silk drapery


We used elegant and natural silk for this splendid drapery. We stuck with the asymmetry of this tricky window and chose a one way draw. The bottom third of the drape is a subtly darker fabric adding interest, grounding and keeping it visually simple. A flannel interlining makes the drapery sumptuous, substantial and less vulnerable to weathering.

jackson's rice paper roller shades


here are a pair of white rice paper roller shades for a little boy's room.

paula and richard's roman shades



The flat roman shades I did for Paula and Richard were made of a cotton and linen fabric and stenciled with craftsman motifs by Diane Ayers. Their warm color blends comfortably with the hand rubbed walls. I designed the hem hang low so the water lily pattern would always show.

This bolster and boxed cushion are made of a Sunbrella fabric which survives sun and dampness beautifully.

jennifer's slipcover



I love the shape of this little victorian loveseat. The slipcover I made is very tailored and simple in a cotton linen blend from Fabricut.

don's boxed pillows


i like making boxed cushions (with a banding around the edge) as throw pillows. They look neater and more taylored than traditional flat contructed pillows.
