Paulette made valances for my living room and dining room 6 years ago and I love them. She just finished drapes for my family room sliding glass door and valances for my kitchen and breakfast room. She did an amazing job and I am very happy with everything. Thank you for a job will done. I would highly recommend this company.

Paulette is a true professional and so easy to work with. She has an abundance of fabrics to choose from, much more than the big competitor. Our drapes and Roman shades are beautiful!

Paulette, the owner and designer of Charlotte’s Custom Draperies and Blinds is both professional and talented. This is the second time Paulette had designed and made window treatments for me and both times I’ve been more than satisfied. Paulette works with your style and color palette and produces a beautifully finished product. She is highly reliable and delivers within the timeframe set for the project. Attached are pictures that attest to the professionally finished products. Thank you Paulette for helping to make my rooms beautiful.
