Southern Living at Home

I am so excited about Southern Living at Home. The Southen Living magazine has always been one of my favorites. And they have a line of home decor items that is affordable, easy to order while have fun with your friends. What better way to shop for items that imitate the gracious living of Southeners? Mary Etta Designs hs been approached to add the line to my custom window treatment business as a natural addition.

I love the line of home decor so much that I am hosting a party at the Mary Etta Designs' studio/home May 30 at 7 p.m. Look for invites, evites and phone calls really soon. I you don't hear from me, call my office at 714 974-6571.

Window Treatments as Art

Did you ever wonder why so much attention is paid to window treatments in a room? At Mary Etta Designs, we specialize in custom window treatments and bedding. Windows are like the eyes of the room. Light is allowed into the room through windows. And we are able to view the outside world from within, through the windows.

So rather than have panes of glass dotting your home like gaping holes, think of using a creative covering for your window treatments. Blinds, woven woods, draperies and shadings are all creative and colorful ways to add to the warmth and comfort of your home. Window Treatments not only provide light control, privacy and thermal control in the home. But they also add to the style, mood and harmony of the setting that you call your own.

Enhance your living space with custom window treatments from Mary Etta Designs.

Make Your Bedroom Your Haven

Mary Etta Designs is known as The Bedroom Queen. That is because lately we have been working solely on Master Bedroom Suites to help customers turn their bedrooms into a haven with custom window treatments, bedding and furniture.

Right now I am working with a customer who wants to make her master suite an elegant, but casual haven from the world. She and her husband work very hard and long hours. She has lots of beautiful furniture and accessories. So Mary Etta Designs immediately set out to break up the busy aspect of the room. How?

1. Color - We chose soothing fabric colors, to perk up the bland walls. Easy to live with Greens and blues are wonderful for a sophisticated and calming look. So we have chosen a light sage green. Since she really loves color, accents of spicy red are used in fabric prints, furniture and pillows. And the walls will be warmed up a bit in golden tones.


2. Add soft height with window treatments. Soften the hard edges of furniture with color, and add another texture in fabrics. Her custom window draperies will not cover the beautiful view of the city lights below. But they will go floor to ceiling and accent the three paneled window framing that view.
   
3. Keep bedding and draperies in a similar pattern. By keeping your pattern change to a minimum, the eye does not have to stop often to adjust to something new. In this case, we chose to match the draperies and the bedding.
