"It is with great excitement that the Motorized Window Treatments (MWT) team can now service your measure and installation needs even better and faster than ever before!" - Matthew Kandl, Account Services Manager, MWT How may you ask? Through the addition of a new, experienced installer, Jeff! So, let's meet Jeff... Jeff grew up in the drapery business. His dad worked with a friend that had a patent on an unusual drapery system called "Spring Crest." (An easy way to make draperies hang perfect and uniform from top to bottom, similar to the Ripplefold System.) While Jeff was growing up, his dad sold this system and would take Jeff along on the installations with him. $125 off all manual blinds &/or shade installation fees (Any & all motorization installation/programming fees not included) $200.00 BONUS (Tax not to be included in totals.)

"There is a technique to it and clients were amazed that I knew how to do it at such a young age! Watching a client see their windows being transformed in a matter of minutes was the beginning of a life-long passion for me!" says Jeff.

Dress Up Your Drapes! Picked out the perfect drapes to frame your window, but in need of "a little something extra?" What should you do? Try dressing up your drapes with the suggestions below and create the perfect ambiance to go with those perfect drapes! Dress Up Your Drapes with... Cornice Boards Cornice Boards are top treatments that are upholstered on a board and are usually used with batting to give it a dimensional look. Valances An alternative to cornice boards are valances. Valances are short drapery pieces/fabric treatments that are hung across the top of a window to conceal structural fixtures. Valances come in many different styles, such as swags, cascades, shirred and pleated. Window Scarves A window scarf is a long piece of fabric casually draped over a pole or rod at the top of a window like a valance. The center is gently pulled down to create a soft curve. Drapery Brackets & Drapery Rods Drapery brackets are metal pieces attached to wall/casing to support drapery/curtain rods and are available in a variety of styles. Drapery brackets hold the drapery rods that may be made of metal, wood or resin. Many drapery rods come with decorative hardware that is meant to be seen! Finials A finial is a decorative ornament at the end of a drapery rod to give a rod/pole that finishing touch. Tiebacks & Tassels Tiebacks are mounted to a wall and hold a curtain or drapery that is draped to one side. They come in a variety of colors, sizes and styles. Tassels are a group of colored threads bound together at the top and hung as a pendant ornament and are often used as a tieback for a touch of style! Fringe also Fringe is a decorative trim for edges of drapery treatments that may be made of narrow braids with attached loops, tassels, beads and more! It is sewn onto the edges and hems of curtain panels. (It is often used to decorate pillows, lampshades and rug edges!) MWT Spotlights....

I just found out that Utopio also does custom headboards, lamp shades, and bedding. Anne is simply awesome. You will love her." "I loved working with Anne. The business was her grandmother's and they've been doing drapery (curtains) and window treatments for years. They also do custom pillows. I'm not sure if she can do a little bit of upholstery too, I wouldn't be surprised. The quality of her window treatments is very elegant. Anne comes to your residence to measure and brings a sketch pad to brainstorm with you. You could give her photographs, or just ask her what she thinks would look good. She has a keen eye but is very gentle and receptive to your ideas. She has a great team of ladies who do the meticulous sewing/stitching in a neat loft work shop. When you get the final draperies, its just amazing. Not a single flaw. Anne should be in "Best of Chicago" for sure.
