Understanding Custom Window Treatments
It’s easy to walk into a home décor shop and get ready-made window treatments when looking for window treatments. While this may be convenient, it’s seldom a good idea.

Custom window treatments enhance your interiors, creating an attractive focal point and giving your home a cohesive look. Here’s what you need to know to get up-to-speed with custom window treatments.

But what if that piece of furniture holds sentimental value? One of the best options is refinishing it.
