Since 1981, Lyn's Draperies has been sewing inspired, custom treatments to enhance the cherished surroundings of our Whatcom County clients. What began as a local, wholesale drapery workroom has expanded to a regional retail sales firm providing the highest quality window treatments, pillows and cushions, bedding ensembles, and more.

Jennifer Linds

Jennifer Linds discovered her love of transforming fabric as a young girl while sewing with her grandmother. She continued to fuel this passion throughout her youth, going on to earn a degree in Fashion Design and Textiles. After years of designing and creating custom apparel and costumes, she joined Lyn's Draperies in Bellingham, Washington, where she discovered the rewards of designing and creating for the home. She quickly found herself taking on all aspects of the business, revitalizing it and expanding services. She soon purchased it from its long-time owner Lynette Beatty who established the business. She finds herself enjoying every step of the design process, from the initial concept to the final installation, and above all values the trusted relationships she has built with her clients.

I worked in the fashion world for a long time, in Haute Couture and joined Lyn’s Draperies in 2013 where I learned to sew and handle fabrics in the world of interior design. I imagine our creations as haute couture for the home.

Lyn Beatty

Lyn has been passionate about sewing since childhood. With an extensive background in fabrics as well as dressmaking techniques, she taught sewing for many years. But when her sights turned to décor projects, she saw a need for custom services in Whatcom County. Pursuing her love affair with fabric, product creation, styles and interior design, Lyn opened Lyn's Draperies and began to cultivate a reputation for the highest quality, custom products our region has to offer.

Lyn enjoys working personally with each client, whether the project concerns a single cushion or window treatments for an entire home, business or boat. Her special expertise with draperies and drapery hardware means easy solutions - she knows how to achieve the effects you want without reinventing the wheel.
