Testimonials
It was a pleasure to pull your creative into my project. Thank you for helping make their house a beautiful new home.
Cynthia did amazing window treatments for me. Knew exactly what I wanted and I am enjoying them everyday. Looks beautiful. She has a great eye for decorating too!!!
Cynthia did an amazing job with the design, fabrication and installation for my bedroom drapes. I would recommend her to everyone.
Drape Expectations is wonderful to work with. Cynthia was flexible and accommodating for my busy schedule. Her craftsmanship is impeccable. I can now change the lighting in my studio immediately for all my different needs.
I have Drape Expectations to thank for saving my sofa! The cushions on my sofa did not age well. Cynthia came over and measured and was able to replace the cushions and my sofa looks great and is extremely comfortable. They do quality work at an affordable price.
We use Drape Expectations because their work is fabulous!
Drape Expectations designed, made and hung exquisite drapes in multiple rooms of my house. I had one large area that was an open area, and Cynthia was able to tie the rooms together with drapes that fit all the various window sizes and styles. This project tied together a large area that included a living room, kitchen and dining room. It was done perfectly.
