Having dressed hundreds of windows over the years, Linda takes pride in client satisfaction, treating each project and each client with personalized attention you won't get elsewhere. In her words, "It's important to me that your windows look their best and that you are thrilled with the result."

"Window fashion can make or break a room. And when windows are done well, it's awesome! You feel good every time you walk into the room. Every house has windows but not every window has style. It's style that makes a house a home." --Linda
