The Design Directory of Window Treatments features professional illustrations detailing every type of window treatment imaginable, and is an invaluable guide for trade professionals and consumers. Jackie Von Tobel preformed an exhaustive search of current window treatment design and manufacturing trends to identify and name more than 350 individual components that can be mixed and matched to create an infinite number of window treatments. Each of these elements and designs are expertly illustrated in more 1300 color renderings that can be used repeatedly. Black-and-white line drawings of these illustrations are also included on a companion CD-Rom, along with a complete worksheet system for designer use.
The most comprehensive compilation of window treatments of its kind, Von Tobel's book is a handy reference for interior designers, students, and workrooms. Her illustrations are lyrical and spirited, yet realistic enough to help clients visualize designs and for workrooms to follow. I don't even look in that "other" window treatment reference anymore -- I know I'll always come up with something fresh and different in Jackie's book whenever I'm stumped with Designer's Block.
