Well you never know where you are going to find that great designer. I met Dave when I came over to measure his windows for cornice kits. The living room was being painted so I had to go around to the backyard gate. Dave was relaxing in his hammack. He led me in to his guest room and the office. Definitely a southwestern, western home. Adobe stressed paint on the walls, slightly different colors but pleasing combinations on adjacent walls, very interesting. He is really into the horses, saddles and the west. His horses range from the four legged ones to a four-wheel drive jeep and the big set of horses--his Harley Davidson motorcycle.
He fooled me, he immediately started talking about his fabric, it matched the bedspread, a desert scene with sunset, moutains, desert floor, and saguaro cacti. He was not sure about the office.
But once he decided, he really out did himself. He shows it off with pride, and well he should. The office fabric is black with a herd of horses running. Did he do it the easy way... not this guy. Take a look, over the three contours of the cornice, Dave has matched the horses.
Now that is just absolute perfection! It takes more fabric to do this but as you can see the results are worth it. The 9" high corncie could not support the full image but a 12" cornice was too much for the window. He is currently working on the ones for their master bedroom and the family/dining room area. I can't wait and we he calls for me to do the pictures, I will get them up for all to see.
Go Dave!
