Product Description
Synopsis
The "Design Directory of Window Treatments" is not a typical how-to book. It is a comprehensive directory which can be used by trade professionals and consumers alike. It is a professionally illustrated volume detailing the most complete collection of standard and unique, current window treatment components and designs ever assembled. By performing a thorough and exhaustive search of all current Window Covering books, subject oriented consumer magazines, trade publications, trade workroom catalogs, interior design firms, retail portfolios, and trade show presentations, Von Tobel identifies and names more than 350 individual, standard and unique, components that can be mixed and matched to create window treatment designs. All of these elements and designs are beautifully illustrated in color renderings that can be used over and over again to create any custom vision. Black-and-white line drawings of these illustrations and industry charts and forms are included on a companion CD.

Inspiration is literally what you will get with this fabulous book. Do not think you will get instructions on how to achieve the fabulous illustrations within this book. There are NO INSTRUCTIONS WHATSOEVER in the book. As Tobel herself says the book's only function is to "inspire you" therefore you will have to be skilled or very skilled to achieve some of the designs within in it.. But as a 'designers reference' (with reference being the key word) it cannot be surpassed. A must have for designers or skilled sewers!

Superb resource!
1 Nov 2007
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
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!!
22 Nov 2007
Format:Hardcover
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.

Design Directory is a must buy
7 Dec 2007
Format:Hardcover
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.
