TESTIMONIALS

I am absolutely ecstatic that I found Maureen, the Roman shades she made for my living room are stunning. I could not be more pleased with the work she did, the communication and the installation that her husband, Rich and her son did. Everything is exactly what I wanted, and I’m hoping to find more opportunities to call her this summer! Thank you Maureen for seeking out the fabric I shared with you and for finding it for me, it really pulls the whole room together!Read More

I have worked with many professional seamstresses but Maureen and her team are the best in their field and I have never been unhappy with my many of her finished projects in my home! Her professional guidance, her quality and craftsmanship by far exceed any person that i had worked with or trusted in the past. My floor to ceiling drapes and window valances are amazing and am thrilled to look at each day I will continue to work with Maureen as i feel confident she will direct me as she has in the past for many new projects coming soon.Read More

I relied on Maureen for her expertise when I decided I wanted new window treatments. I had an idea of what I was looking for but needed some guidance. She came to my home and we decided on the style of the treatments. I went to her workplace where there were many sample books to look through. Maureen was very professional and her work is beautiful. I couldn't be happier and I receive many compliments.Read More

Maureen saved the day by lengthening drapes that were too short. The finished product is perfect and a more custom look that the project needed. She is professional, quick and fun to work withRead More
