I’m seeing red!

I finished a cornice recently for a dear friend and finally got to her house this weekend to take a pic of the installed project.  We searched and searched for this fabric and finally settled on this whimsical Robert Allen Fabric.  It is the perfect color for the existing red walls and if you look closely, you’ll see a few creatures that add to its charm. After finding this great fabric, we settled on a classic shape for a hard cornice.  I found a solid red cording that was the right shade for the red walls in the kitchen.  I sent a rendering to  her and after her approval, we were ready to go.
