Response from Charlotte's Custom Draperies & Blinds
This was a design consultation for a couple that had just moved here from out of state. The emphasis of her questions was to repurpose her existing pieces where possible. I provided my opinion on what I thought could be reused. I also gave my opinion when asked on wall colors and placement of accent pieces.

Description of Work: Nothing wrong with the service but it was not really what I was expecting. I needed more of an interior design session, where as she was primarily selling window treatments. My misunderstanding. |

Response from Charlotte's Custom Draperies & Blinds
In our initial phone conversation the client stated that she was interested in organization and window treatments in three rooms in her home. We started out in her husband's study where she needed help with both items. But then her husband came downstairs and said that he thought we should leave that room alone and concentrate on the living room first. In that room I discussed window treatments with her and showed her some fabrics. Then we discussed what furniture she planned on replacing. I then took measurements of the room and fixture placement so that I could draw up a furniture placement plan for our next appointment. I asked her if she would like for me to start looking for furniture for her and she stated that she would prefer to do that herself. The main issue in her office was creating storage and making it a more usable space. I suggested TV and existing furniture placement and the purchase of a L shaped desk/workstation with some built ins. I mentioned that I had some cabinetry contacts but also mentioned that woodworker's guilds are a good source of contacts. It was my understanding from our conversation that she was going to contact the local guild since I am in St. Louis and she is in Illinois. At the end of our 2 hour appointment, I was left with the impression that I needed to contact her the following week with the living room floor plan proposal and other fabric swatches for that room. After a couple of failures to hear back from her when I left messages, I finally spoke to her and she simply stated that she did not wish to make another appointment.

Paulette is extremely knowledgeable, thorough and has an excellent eye for detail. She's also very professional, timely and accommodating with her clients. I so enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend her for any custom window treatment job. She has a large selection of fabric to choose from. She was extremely patience while assisting me in my search for just the right selection of fabric for our windows.

Paulette was professional, punctual, and a pleasure to work with. We had an initial, thorough conversation on the phone about the rooms we wanted window treatments for -- what the rooms looked like and what styles we might be interested in. She arrived on time for both of the in-home consultations, and brought lots of samples and photos for us to look at and select from. The bid that she provided was clear, and she was able to do all the work within the timeframe she gave us. Installation was efficient and the window treatments all look fantastic.
Description of Work: Recommended fabrics and styles for window treatments; made and installed window treatments.

The owner, Paulette, was very prompt in arranging a free in-home appointment at our convenience. She arrived at almost the EXACT time set and brought with her a wide selection of fabrics, that were focused on her perception of our preferences based on our telephone conversation. In addition, she had a great idea book of her completed projects to help determine how we might want to dress the Family Room window (which is three double hung windows wide). After we determined, with her guidance, the style we wanted to go with, she assisted us in the fabric selections. We went with linen panels at the two ends, and a sheer fabric in between. Next was the decision on how to hang the treatment, what type of pleating would work best and finally the specific color and style of hardware. I am NOT an artistic person and never would have been able to navigate all of this on my own. The next day she emailed a quotation. It stated her business terms of half down and the balance on delivery. My only question on the quote was the oversight of the Angie's List discount that was advertised in our Angie's List monthly magazine. When I asked her about it, she said "absolutely, just take it off the quoted price, sign it and mail it back with the deposit check" which we did. At the end of the promised 6 weeks time that she had estimated, she called to set up a delivery/installation time. Everything was set, and then I had a scheduling conflict, so she arranged to come earlier. Her installer likewise came earlier than originally planned and they did a magnificent job. The custom drapery rod was cut on site, and the panels fix beautifully. I was so pleased that I gave her another job on the spot. I highly endorse Charlotte's Draperies to everyone-including my next door neighbor. I am thrilled with this window treatment and pillows. When my daughter saw my "NEW" Family Room she said that it looks like it was "finished" by a display home decorator.
Description of Work: Guided us through window treatment ideas, fabric and hardware selection. Additionally endorsed fabrication of throw pillows to complete the "Finished" look of the room.

When she returned with the completed work, it was fabulous. You could not even tell that they had been reworked (they had the same fabric and cording, only reworked). Her team re-situated the curtain rods, re-hung the curtains and reinstalled the cornice boxes. With regard to the Roman shades--they matched perfectly!
Description of Work: We had cornice boxes (2 small, 1 very large) that needed to be shortened down, along with curtains that needed to be hemmed up. We had previously had her make some Roman shades to match those we already had.

Beautiful! It was a pleasure from start to finish, and I am enjoying the beautiful new fabric window treatments in my sunroom. Paulette was a true pleasure to work with and picked up on what I liked and disliked. She made suggestions but went with what I wanted. Has a great sense of style. Her estimate for how long the project would take was accurate. The treatments turned out stunning. I am very happy and would recommend.
Description of Work: Assessed and measured my windows, went through different styles with me from an album, went through tons of fabric swatches, made custom draperies (balloonish roman shades).

Paulette is wonderful. She was willing to use what I had, and she offered great ideas to rework the drapes. The curtains look great on the French doors, and I am having matching drapes made for another window. I highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: Used drapes I had and incorporated new material to make them wider.

Paulette is great! She spent adequate time getting to know me and my "likes and dislikes". She was full of ideas and stuck with it until I was certain of our choices. The installation was completely painless. She is very professional and creative. I love the "one stop shopping" with Charlotte's. Paulette designed, manufactured and installed the entire project. She handled the window treatments as well as the hardware. The end result is exactly what I wanted. I am very happy with her services and will recommend her to others.
Description of Work: I was in need of a professional's help with regards window treatments for my living room. I have one bay window and one "standard" window. My creativity was blocked and I needed help to determine the best way to create the feel I wanted for that room. Paulette met with me initially to determine the scope of the job and to get an idea of my preferances. She returned a second time with a more tailored approached based upon information gathered during our first meeting. After deciding on the details, I placed the order. True to her word on completion time, she returned to install the window treatments. She handled the design, manufacture and installation.

Paulette was very prompt in returning phone calls and an appointment was set up within days of the initial conversation. A detailed estimate was also provided and all work perfomed within the agreed upon time frame. Paulette was on site during the installation to make sure all details were followed through with her installers. After the work was performed, Paulette, the installers, and I walked through each room to make sure everything was correct before she would accept the final payment. Overall, it was a very great experience and I will certainly recommend Paulette.
Description of Work: We had draperies made for several rooms in our house.

It was a great experience from the initial contact until installation completion. Paulette was very responsive after my initial contact and came to my home to bring material samples and provided a quote within a day or two after our meeting. She was very helpful with selecting a design and explaining to me what the end result would look like. Paulette was professional from start to finish. Even though she was short-handed she still completed all of the window treatments and pillows in less than 7 weeks. This is less time that estimated by other drapery companies that provided similar quotes. I would highly recommend Charlotte's Custom Draperies to anyone needing these services. I love the finished product and the price was much more reasonable than other quotes received.
