The Heat Of Summer Time!

In the heat of the summer there is no shortest of light peering through your windows.  Particularly the two story Texas sized windows.  The bigger the better or the bigger the window the bigger the utility cooling bill.

These large two story windows on our homes will no doubt add beauty, character, and charm to homes and highlight the elevation of the exterior.  But they seem to be the most enjoyable in the cooler months of the year.

In the heat of the summer these huge two story windows will present an abundance of challenges from blinding light piercing through and making the room feel uncomfortable and difficult to maintain climate control to the fading of flooring, furniture, and fabrics.

A simple solution to counter act many of these issues, is to frame or cover the window with beautifully done custom drapery.  Framing the two story window can reduce the effects of the sun by reflecting, diverting, or filtering the sun's powerful rays. 

Covering the window with functional custom drapery is another way to complete close off the window until you are ready to enjoy it's beauty and magnificence.   Ceiling to floor custom drapery with the proper lining will not only keep the room cool but can enhance the decor of the room and make a lasting statement when people enter while at the same instance add elegance and warmth to your room.

When covering the window completely with beautifully done custom drapery you will want to use decorative rods or a beautiful top treatment valance that will conceal the construction of the strings and cords that will allow for the drapery to move back and forward drawing them open and close.




















The two story window drapery will not only block out the sun, but they also add beauty and drama to your room with their height and splendor.  When you enter into a room with windows that span twenty feet in height ceiling to floor and are framed with beautifully done custom drapery, you can't help, but to pause.  These drapery will command attention and conversation.

Dad & Grads

Who says that Dads and Grads can't enjoy a Happily Ever After Home?   Yes it's that time of the year for the celebrating of our new graduating class.   So many have work very hard for these memorable moments.  So in an effort to make the most of this special time and milestone in their life, we will host celebrations to show our graduates how proud we are of their accomplishments and set the tone for our expectations of them to not just cross over the stage with the diploma but to cross over from partial responsibility to full responsibility. 

Maybe not all at once, but at a good and steady pace.  So our party will be a bit more sophisticated than celebrations of past.  All our decorations may even seem to be more formal and corporate as we are sending a message in the festivities that the corporate world is ready and waiting for you.  Along with landlords and utility companies.


Of course we are ready to get started with assisting them to make furniture selections and offer decorating tips that they are sure to reject.  We expect that they will attempt to reinvent the wheel and find a unique style that is a juxtaposition for our own.  They just don't understand that we want them to find themselves and their own style, just with a some guidance from us or the assistance of professionals.



Dads are usually not to broken hearted about this time, because he excited that now is his time to make some long overdue changes.  From getting his driveway and garage back to perfecting the man cave.  Of course any interior decor changes will have to be approved by us even though it is his man cave. 



Our recommendations for your new graduates are as follows;  the sofa and windows coverings of course!  Once you these foundational pieces are properly selected, it will be hard for your graduates to make a muck of the space.  Your graduate will be more than willing to allow your input as the accessories are the more affordable elements of the space.   We offer a wide selection of fabrics and textures tosatisfy whatever your new graduate can imagine or dream up.



Our recommendations for Father's Day are as follows;  get going on the man cave right away as the baseball and basketball season's are coming to an end.  As you are sure to be expecting his support with your recent graduate's new domain.  The man cave will look great with some of our leathers and suede's.  We can custom make upholstered cornices with decorative nail heads, flowing panels and coordinating pillows.



To schedule your in home consultation today contact us at phone 281-820-0139 or email us at beautifullydone@sbcglobal.net

There is still time to have it installed before Father's Day, but hurry and time is running out.   Also CLICK HERE to see our Major Announcement.

Mothers Day Gift Ideas

World's Greatest Mother’s Day Gift Alternative That's Lasting

A special day of public acknowledgement and appreciation!  I’m sure that many would agree that one day set aside to acknowledge and show appreciation for mothers is hardly enough. It is such a short amount of time in comparison to the benefits that have been received and some that are still being received.




A mother’s love is like no other. It’s constant, unbroken, and unchanged. Through our faults, hurts, and disappointments. Mom’s seem to have a way to make our cloudy days bright and cheer for us no matter whether we are winning or losing.  It seems that we hear the their cheers exceptionally loudest when we are down or discouraged.  Mothers cover our faults with love and remind us that no matter how high or far we go they will always have a desire that we continue to look up to them.

So, is it even imaginable to try and package all this type of love into one single day of acknowledge that can measure up in any amount of adequacy.  Surely we can take note of our mother’s many sacrifices as well as the many times that mothers have put others before themselves.  So it's no wonder why it usually requires a  great deal of thought to come up with the ideal gift.

Typical and predictable year in and year out gift ideas:

Taking your mother out to eat may on the surface seem like the obvious idea, but consider who cooked the day before Mother’s Day, who will cook the day after, and not to mention your Mother’s Day meal is likely not to be the only meal of the day! So back into the kitchen mother will go.

Flowers are beautiful and mother’s love and expect them, but they’re not likely to make it through the week.

The sweet aroma of designer lotions and perfumes are sure to be in abundance at each and every retailer, but they just don’t quite hit the mark or even come close to what has been poured into each us from our mothers.

The Alternative

Why not consider allowing mom to live the dream and put herself in front for a few moments, by completing the honey to do list and pampering her with some Beautifully Done Custom Drapery. While diamonds are a woman’s fetish, I’d have to say that a beautiful well kept home is a close second. Nothing will satisfy her obsession with pride in homemaking like Beautifully Done Custom Drapery.



Understand that women have a special relationship with fabrics, silks, cottons, and chenille’s. Of course you never had a clue, and that’s why I’m filling you in. Take a minute to consider your mother’s wardrobe closet. I imagine that it contains just about every fabric commonly known to man. You're sure to find all sorts of scarf’s, belts, hats, and blouses in an assortment of colors, styles, and fabrics. Women love to dress their windows just as much as dressing themselves. So don’t delay or wait another second, now is the time to totally surprise your mom for Mother’s Day.

There’s still time to make her appointment today and allow her to shop until her hearts content.  You may contact Beautifully Done Custom Drapery via email or phone.  CLICK TO EMAIL OR CLICK HERE TO DAIL.
