Product Description
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.

Superb resource! November 1, 2007

As the owner of a Workroom designing and creating window- and other home decorating treatments, I was delighted to see how inspiring this book is! The illustrations are luscious and beautifully drawn with accompanying line drawings for even further clarity (a CD of the same accompanies the book) and each design is completed with a description and reference, in many cases, to the originating commercial pattern. For those new to decorating or to the industry, a glossary further enlightens and a section devoted to the Workroom with sample documentation is a valuable resource. I recently took this book with me to a get-together with colleagues who oohed and aahed and who couldn't wait to get their own copies! This book certainly must top the pile of decorating books which are out there and will be a very worth-while investment.
Great book!! November 22, 2007

This book was well written. It includes information that will help the designer and also the drapery pro. Great information for the beginning designer/fabricator, but not too elementary for the seasoned professional.
A lot of thought was put in the content and also the layout of the book. It would be a great book for Window Treatments 101, if there's such a class. I am a professional drapery designer and fabricator and believe that it is a great reference book and will always remain in my professional library.
What a treat!! Thank you Jackie for doing such a great job. You can't go wrong with this book.

The Design Directory of Window Treatments is a must have! It is chock full of beautifully drawn window treatment sketches. The attention to detail is phenomenal. This should be used as a textbook in design school b/c of the sketches and all the written information about window treatments.

This book is a MUST HAVE for any one associated with window treatments in any way. I own a to-the-trade only workroom and have a VAST collection of design books and this book is unequaled by any other. I was immediately captivated by the beautiful drawings and was refreshingly inspired and challenged. Thank you Ms. Von Tobel, your book is supurb!
