Custom Traversing Drapery

Custom drapery

Traversing drapery opens and closes with little effort, either manually with the pull of a cord or wand, or with motorization. Two layers—sheers underneath and blackout lined panels over—let in daylight while maintaining privacy, and block out nearly all light and add warmth when the overdrape is closed.

These drapery are 18 feet wide but with a push of a button, they open and close quietly and easily!

Sheer drapery lined with sheer batiste allow light to come in yet still provide privacy. The stripes were run horizontally for a unique look. Stunning!

Plenty of light yet private! These sheers make up the walls of the room and hang from a ceiling mounted track. How did we work around a TV bracket? See the next photo

This one kept me up a couple of nights but I worked it out! I carefully measured where the seams should fall and sewed down to the top of the bracket arms. I then used the magic of Velcro to join the seams below the arms and to the floor with barely an interruption.

A loft in the city gets light night and day. Blackout drapery came to the rescue! This was a very tricky installation into concrete 11 feet up with only enough room between the ladder and the window to wedge my body and my rotary hammer drill—good thing I skipped breakfast!

Home theater curtains

Home theater curtains

These home theater curtains were made from velvet and provide a backdrop for the screen that drops from the ceiling between the pulled back curtains on either side (Zoom in to see since they are the same color) It also serves to absorb excess sound in the room for your viewing enjoyment. Pass the popcorn!
