Tuesday, March 5, 2013. Knob Knob. Who's there? Knobs are a great option for drapery hardware. They come in all different shapes and sizes and all different materials and finishes. They can be used in a wide range of styles from contemporary to transitional to traditional. And they can be used for a wide variety of window treatments from drapery panels to valances to swags and jabots. Check out these pictures that show the many possibilities for knobs.

Monday, May 5, 2014. Here comes the sun. With the Spring we've had, it may seem like the sun will never come, but eventually Summer will arrive. and with the Summer sun will come requests for outdoor projects. Choosing the right fabric for your outdoor project can really affect its longevity. All outdoor fabrics are not created equally. There are three main types of outdoor fabric: solution-dyed, yarn-dyed, and piece-dyed. The difference has to do with how color is added to the fabric. Here is a picture ...

From The Workroom of Parkway Window Works: Obstruction call ruin your game?
http://parkwaywindowworks.blogspot.com/2013/11/obstruction-call-ruin-your-game.html
Wednesday, November 6, 2013. Obstruction call ruin your game? Last week, the Boston Red Sox lost Game 3 of the World Series when the winning run was scored on an obstruction call. Not a baseball fan? It's just like the dictionary definition of obs. Truction - something that blocks something else. In this case, the fielder blocked the runner. I am always on the look out for obstructions when I measure for window treatments. Nothing is worse than getting an obstruction call at the installation. At the inst...

Tuesday, January 21, 2014. Taking it up a notch. Did you make New Year's resolutions this year? Have you broken them already? I know common wisdom is to set goals, make a plan to achieve them, and follow-up to assess and change course if necessary. Often the only thing that ever happens is making that resolutions list. Why not change your approach and take it up a notch? That doesn't sound too hard, does it? The relaxed roman really has spark and personality. We used a single medallion and changed the bo...

From The Workroom of Parkway Window Works: Trick or Treatment
http://parkwaywindowworks.blogspot.com/2013/10/trick-or-treatment.html
Wednesday, October 9, 2013. It won't be long until neighborhood children are at your door shouting "Trick or Treat". That's not a tough decision. I always hand out candy, don't you? Here is a third situation where a door hinge valance was used. In this case, there was a large picture window where the designer chose a valance with stationary panels. She did not want to leave the door untreated. By using the door hinge hardware and mounting the valances at the same height, your eye moves around...The next ...

Monday, September 9, 2013. Have you heard all the racket about brackets? For such a minor component in the overall scheme of a window treatment, there sure are a lot of decisions to make when specifying hardware. The first question to be answered is "How many brackets are needed? I used Helser Brothers 1-1/4" diameter rods for these operable grommet panels so that I would only need 1 center bracket on this 15 foot span. Remember, grommets and drapery rings can't pass through brackets. A third option for ...

Monday, February 4, 2013. Don't use that tone with me! If you have children (or a spouse), I'll bet you have said it. Hopefully you've never heard it from one of your clients! Choosing color is a huge part of your job. Believe me when I say I can't do it and I certainly won't be lecturing you on how to do it. But I do like to follow the latest color trends. And a window seat cushion in a young girl's room share the color African Violet. According to Pantone, exotic African Violet. Signifying the time of ...
