Design Directory of Window Treatments, The Hardcover – September 17, 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.

Product exceeded my expectations, it is a very thorough reference that will serve me well. Quality was even better than described and delivery was as promised. Wonderful experience!

I have several other books on drapes and thought do I need another... wellI did.Really great book also has disc so can send items to clients.My associate teaches a Design class and is now going to make her students buy this book rather than the one she used to recommend.This is a big and heavy book so being able to print pages you need really helps rather than having to take this to client meetings..

Book is a compilation of window treatment drawings. This book might be of great value to interior decorators as a source of reference material for their clients to decide their window treatment. For the sewer, who is looking for instuction or patterns for making these curtain designs--this is not the book. It is a design directory only; there are many drawings and some reference to contacting a pattern company but there are no directions or patterns included in this book.

What an incredible book - well worth the price! It's huge - has tons of unique ideas for window treatments. These are the most gorgeous drapes, curtains, swags.... I've ever seen. No directions - this is intended for designers to take to their work shops - but great for inspiration, either for designers or home owners. I've made some draperies before, and ordered more instruction books to help me replicate these.

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.

The book was in great condition, was a great value for the price and there was a means of follow up in the course of the purchase.

This is one of the best window treatment books on the market. I am in the custom window treatment business and I get inspired every time I browse the book! I have to be careful about who I show the book to because some of the designs are quite challenging to fabricate!

The book should have included a CD which was missing. The seller offered a 50% discount on the order which I accepted but without the CD the book is only a simple picture reference book. The CD contains details of making the designs.

This book goes over all the basics definitions of the various window treatments and is an invaluable guide to fabrics, measurements and styles. Thank you.

Very useful book and nicely organized

とても参考になってます。施設関係のカーテンデザインをやってて既にネタ切れで困っていた所この本を参考に斬新なデザインに挑戦しています。クライアントにこの本を見せたら欲しいと言われ、クリスマスプレゼントにもう一冊発注しました(^-^)過去に購入したこの手の本よりちょっとお値段は張りますが、デザインアイデアが豊富で価値はお値段以上だと思います。

洋書なのですが、語学力がなくても、カラフルなイラストが主に構成されているので、見ているだけでも楽しめます。46ｍｍほどの分厚い本なのでかさばりますが、背表紙も素敵なので本棚に入れているだけで、インテリアアクセサリーとしても機能します。ウィンドウトリートメントの細かいディティールなどもたくさんのっているので、インテリアにこだわりのあるクライアント様に提案したら喜ばれそうなヒントが満載です。
