Second Place - Whole Room Integration
Linda does it again! Entering in the Window Fashions Vision magazine Envision Design competition again in 2010, she again won second place in Whole Room Integration, this time sharing that award in a 2 way tie. The winning Dining Room is in a Transitional style, inspired by a remnant of turquoise, green and purple silk which had belonged to the client’s mother. The original window treatment design was inspired by a ruched dress in Threads magazine.
