Baby Break - Taking Next Orders in Jan 2010

Well what a blessing this little business has been to me over the past year. After doing my taxes for last year I was stunned by all the business the Lord blessed me with through all of you. While James was sleeping and spending time with his grandmas I got to create all these wonderful window treatments for all my friends and family members. Now that James is on the move and does not like to watch me sew, go figure, it is becoming a little hard to keep up with the demand. As many of you know Chris and I are expecting our second child August 4th. So with James and all of his activities and also listening to my body and resting, I am going to have to take a break from sewing custom orders.

Homearoma 2008

I went to this event this year and took these pictures of window treatments in these wonderful homes. I hope that you get as many ideas from them as I did. I love the combination of design styles to add the finishing touches. You can see they actually combine different window treatments for a wonderful look. There are roll shades combined with a flat valance. They used trims at the top of panels to allow a flow of two different fabrics. They used pleats as accents to panels and valances. I hope that they inspire you as much as they did me~

Christmas is Here!!!!

What a great year I Noe Design has had! I can not get over all the support and referrals that I have gotten from all of my family and friends. I have started a referral program for every Home Decor referral I give a $10 credit and for clothing and gift I give $5 referral. So just make sure when your friends call me they let me know that you sent them!

We are also gearing up for the holiday season and I have some fun Christmas fabrics in stock that I can make all kinds of goodies with. I can use these on tea towels, bath towels, a dresses for your little angels with monogramming. They make the best gifts for those hard to find people!

My fabric belts have been a big hit for gifts! If you can come to my fabric closet you can custom design belts for all of your friends and family. They are $15 and I can make them to any style that you desire and you will be able to give your special ones something created just for them!

Craft show banners have been the unexpected hit of the year. If you visit my ETSY store you will see all kinds of options. These are great for any crafter that you know. They can hang them in their craft rooms and take them to craft and home shows since they are also a table cloth overlay. It gives them that extra pinch of inspiration when needed!

Again thank you all so much for all that you have done to support me and I have had the best time working with you all. Please contact me with any questions or orders that you have for the holiday season or the new year. imogene@inoedesign.com

Always adding new things to my lines to make sure that I am meeting the needs of all my clients. The monograms started on some of my window valances and has expanded. I am now making little tee shirt dresses and adding the monograms for that extra touch. Also

ETSY Store

I am so excited about my ETSY store, please click here to visit. I am getting to work with people all over the US. Also this has allowed me to showcase all my work for all my local clients as well. I would like all my orders to go through this site for tracking now and you can also pay with credit cards!! If you have a Pay Pal account you can use this as well. This store shows fabric that I am now going to carry is stock along with other decorating items that you may want to complete your look.

DECORATING IDEAS
After working with all of my clients over the past three months, I have learned everything from how to deal with difficult curtain rods to tying in all rooms with fabrics. They are a wonderful thing!! Here are some ideas that I want to share that we have implemented in my client's homes.

~ DEFINE YOUR DIFFERENT AREAS IN YOUR GREAT ROOMS
Use what you have and accent with your new fabrics. A great example of this is to have a valance of one fabric created to go over a sink window. Then find another coordinating fabric and create valances to go over your dinette windows that are two toned. This allows for your two areas: the work kitchen and the dining area to have different looks while still staying the same. Then if you have panels in your den we can make tie backs out of one of the fabrics in the kitchen area. Your look will be complete at a very minimal cost.


~ EXTRA FABRIC
When you find fabrics you like, worry about where they go later. This is the best way to find what you are really looking for. If you get involved with trying to use everything you have, you will never get exactly what you want. I have had a client buy a fabric they liked and thought there was no where for it to go. We are creating a shower curtain, valance, and matching accent towels to complete the look in a bathroom that she is going to love! When you provide me with extra fabric it allows me to come up with other creative ideas to use it in your home.

~ VALANCES OVER SHOWER CURTAINS
That is right. You have this guest bathroom that everyone sees and there is a white curtain there for them to look at. I can create a valance with button holes to go right over the curtain you have. We can also add a band of the fabric at the bottom to complete the look. Fun, small investment, with a huge impact.

~ WHEN VALANCES ARE BETTER THAN PANELS
This is always a question to start with. Panels always give a fuller, deeper look but are they always better? The answer I have is no. I feel that with valances you can create such a custom look and draw the attention to the top of the room. Which is great when there are toys and mess all over the floor. Also, children pull on panels and animals hide in them. So I always make sure that these two items are addressed before making this decision. While loving both window treatments equal these thoughts need to come in mind before making the decision for custom window treatments.
