Testimonials – Lyn's Draperies

"Lyn's Draperies did a magnificent job for us on our silk draperies. They found a special "ribbon" to install with the pleats to make them hold a uniform "wavy" effect. Also used a special light-weight but effective blackout lining (hard to do with silk) because our windows are large and get a lot of sun. The work was done on time and on budget and with a great deal of professionalism. This is the second home they have done for us and we recommend them highly. To sum up: Amazing skill level coupled with reasonable prices and on-time, excellent installation."

"When looking for window treatments for my 1928 Craftsman, I really had no idea where to start. I knew I wanted something that couldn't be bought ready-made but was overwhelmed with the seemingly endless choices. Jennifer Linds came to my home and presented window covering options that kept my lifestyle, preferences and budget in mind. Her keen sense of design and detail truly transformed my dated house into a showcase that I am now proud to call home.

Lyn’s Draperies has been an invaluable resource in the remodel of my home and I would definitely not hesitate to work with them again."

"My client and I had the best time working with Jenn and Lynn. This project was so easy and delightful. Our goal was to edit what was already a beautifully designed home. My clients just wanted to make it more them. The first thing we did was scale down the pillows on their sofa and love seat, changing the look from a dated pillow back sofa to a more sleek design. Jenn totally got the concept and altered them beautifully. They also reupholstered a corner window seat cushion, fabricated custom reversible accent pillows for the sofa (in gorgeous fabrics) and are recovering and reconfiguring the cushions for an accent chair. All of these changes have updated the home, and have added texture, comfort and visual interest. So thrilled with the job that Lyn's Draperies has done and would recommend them to anyone. I truly believe they could tackle just about any sewing/fabrication project with ease."

"Lyn's Draperies is an excellent company to deal with. The staff are all very professional and take great care to produce quality draperies that are both beautiful and fuctional. I had them make silk drapes in my master bedroom and daughter's room and velvet ones in my son's room. When the vent was blowing up air underneath my drapes in my master bedroom, they found a great solution and came back to fix that problem. They also made form fitting outdoor seat covers for my Tommy Bahamas outdoor furniture. They are all labelled and have draw strings with zippers. The draw strings they thought of, because of all the wind on Lake Whatcom, they felt the draw strings would help the bottom stay closed better, and then the wind wouldn't rip the covers off. They really try to please and value repeat business tremendously. As a Canadian who lives in Vancouver, I was so pleased to find their professionalism so exceptional, and not what I usually find in small town Bellingham. Don't look any further. If you want the best results, hire the best people- Lyn's Draperies."

"I needed 20 shades for my new office. I contacted several local companies and waited for nearly a month for somebody to get back to me. I came across Lyn's Draperies. When I visited the store, Jennifer explained what was available, helped me pick the material, right away gave me an estimate, which was reasonable, and that same day drove with me to our office to measure the windows. When we returned, she placed the order. Two weeks later, we had shades in the office. I am very happy with the new shades, and I want to thank Jennifer and Lyn's Draperies for their professionalism and unmatched customer service. If you need window treatments, do not hesitate to contact Lyn's Draperies."

"I had Lyn's use draperies from a previous home to make stationary Roman shade valances for my current home. I showed her what I wanted using pictures from the internet and she took it from there. The valances are exactly what I wanted. In addition she made a similar valance from fabric I purchased. She suggested railroading the fabric I chose which was much more cost effective. Lyn's was easy to work with and the valances were completed in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to use Lyn's again."

"We had the good fortune to find Lyn’s Draperies when we were looking for someone to update the window treatments in our living room. We had no idea of what we wanted or of what would work in the room. That was no problem for Lyn. She came out to the house, got a sense of what we had and what we needed, and then proceeded to guide us through the process of finding a style compatible with our home and appropriate fabrics not only for the drapes but for a chair, window seat cushion, and couch cushions. We couldn’t be happier with the results! More importantly, we appreciated the superb quality of Lyn’s work, her willingness to make the 40+ mile trip to our home on several occasions, and her unfailing patience and good humor while working with two real amateurs who did not always agree with one another. We recommend Lyn’s Draperies with enthusiasm and without reservation."

Lyn and Jennifer did a fantastic job of custom pillows for various rooms in our home including the master and guest bedrooms as well as the living room and TV area. They have a huge selection of fabrics and were able to quickly select potential fabrics based on color swatches and a few photos or descriptions I provided. They had a quick turn around time and the quality of their workmanship and overall professionalism was excellent.

We had Lyn's Draperies install grommets on our curtain panels. Lyn and Jennifer are extremely professional and talented. Our drapes were returned pressed and wrapped in plastic, so all I had to do was take them home and hang them. I would highly recommend this company!

~ Lisa Hill

I was very pleased with the blinds I ordered through Lyn's Draperies. They had a great selection of products, we're easy to work with and had very competitive prices. I look forward to working with them again in the future.

~ Elizabeth Shaffer

Both Lyn and Jennifer at Lyn's Draperies are extremely pleasant, helpful, and knowledgeable. Their large, modern workroom fabricates beautiful, high quality designs ( draperies, bedding, pillows, etc.) They also house a large library of several designer fabric lines with which to work and select.

A very pleasant experience with an extremely professional staff.

Lyn's Draperies is the best! I have used them from everything from designing and creating custom valances and shower curtains to simply hemming and lining drapes. They even helped me create a custom baby bassinet skirt! The work is perfect and gorgeous every time and they are so pleasant, timely, and professional to work with. I'll be a customer for life!
