We arrived rested and bright eyed on Friday morning, eager to get started.

When we entered in the CHF workroom on Friday, we each found a worktable set up with all our fabrics, hardware, and embellishments. It was exciting to see for the first time the "ingredients" of all our treatments.

While I can't reveal my entire design until it's unveiled in Vegas, I can show you some of the components. My design has BLING in it! All of the fabric, hardware, and embellishments for our treatments were generously supplied by industry vendors. My treatment included sparkly crystal nailheads which were supplied by Diamond Head UT.

My treatment also has big sparkly finials! When I designed my treatment, I knew immediately that I wanted to use crystal finials on it. I was already familiar with Orion's products, having seen them in a design showroom and then using them for a client's project. In my mind, nothing else would do but the Bohemia crystal finials from Orion. I was delighted to find out they had agreed to provide them for me.

Did you know they make drapery hardware that looks so much like jewlery? With hardware like this, I couldn't resist striking a pose! It doesn't take much for me to "ham it up" for the camera.
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it!
Do you love "bling"? I would love to create a spectacular treatment for your home! Contact me at 314.324.5972 or lois@ryliemax.com to get started.
Great idea on the post series Lois; it will be so much fun for all of us to follow along! I love bling too so really look forward to the big "reveal"!!
