This was my third purchase of curtain fabric from Ideal Drapemakers. I have found them to be very prompt and friendly when responding to queries and purchase orders. As a beginner curtain maker, I found Nancy's advice to be invaluableRead Full Review





































I am so pleased that the La Palma fabric you purchased in the Gilver colourway has met your expectations.
A lot of the credit though is due to the great customer service from Mokum/James Dunlop who was not only able to get a cutting out to you in quick time but who also took care of all the product logistics, in addition to having the simply gorgeous La Palma fabric.
Please 'do' send me some pics of your finished project once you have completed it. I would love to see what you create for your friends.
Thanks again for the great feedback and for taking the time to leave such a positive review. I will be sure to spam Mokum/James Dunlop both here and in New Zeland with your comments as they always get such a buzz out of hearing how their products are received by customers.
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers



I must admit that it was a challenge finding the right velvet that would work well with your carpet. Fortunately, half a dozen cuttings later and we hit the jackpot with the gorgeous Warwick Cleo in the Forest colourway. .. And I have to agree with you the completed project looks outstanding with the green of the velvet working in so well with the colour of your carpet.
Warwick velvets and faux velvets are very popular with a lot of our customers and are used heavily everywhere from commercial 'stage' curtains through to swags and tails and domestic home cinemas such as the case with your project. As a bespoke drapery manufacturer, I can honestly 'hold hand on heart' and say that they are a delight to work with, such is their quality, and we know from many years of experience, that your drapery is going to last and go the distance for many years to come.
Thank you so much for sharing your images of the drapery now that it has been fitted. Please do send me more once you have the room completed and furnished. - I think you and your visitors are in for many awesome nights in 'at the movies!'
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers





I think the James Dunlop Dream Weaver Fire Retardant (FR) 300, wide-width fabric is going to be a great fit for the drapery you have planned for your music studio.
Whilst not promoted for acoustic use, I think you will find the quality commercial grade wide width fabric that carries the Dream Weaver FR label and which weighs in at 1086 g/m, is going to perform well due to its inherent acoustic sound dampening properties. -- Attributes that will be so important in a space dedicated to sound.
Of course, full credit is due to Mokum/James Dunlop, not only for their awesome product and customer service but for being the muscle behind order fulfilment and logistics management. They got your order to you like the well-oiled machine and I will be pleased to report back your positive feedback which they always get a buzz out of receiving.
Thank you again for the positive feedback and I look forward to working with you on your next project.
Sincerely
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers




I am so pleased we were able to get your order to you in quick time and that the Villa Nova product met with, if not exceeded your expectations.
I think the Villa Nova 'Akina' wallcovering in indigo will work a treat up where you are on the Gold Coast with the sun and the sea as an integral part of your lifestyle. The wallpaper has a wonderful tropic feel about it and should work wonderfully in your new home.
Credit should go to the Marco Fabrics who is the Australian Distributor for Villa Nova. It was only with their excellent service, support and deft management of or order delivery logistics from Europe that we were able to get your order to you so smoothly and with a minimum of fuss.
Please do send me some pics of your feature wall once the wallpaper has been hung. I feel confident that you will be delighted with the result and I am dying to see how it looks once you have completed your project.
Thank you once again for taking the time to provide such positive feedback.
Sincerely
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers







Good things take time and it is an absolute pleasure spending that time profitably to find the right solutions that fit within your budget. The premium Warwick fabrics used for all your Traditional Soft Romans in combination with quality thermal roller screens, most with our custom made upholstered pelmets (also with Premium Warwick Fabrics) has made all the difference to the appearance of your windows throughout your home.
It is a credit to Warwick that they were able to send you a wide selection of cuttings to help you with your colour schemes and I think the result as you move from room, transitioning across colours and designs has worked out perfectly for the spaces throughout your home.
Thank you again for providing such detailed feedback. I am so pleased that we were not only able to deliver winning treatment solutions throughout your house but were also able to demonstrate where the value is. - So many people rush into a drapery purchase given the large outlay (from any supplier), is something that needs to be carefully researched and considered .. yet too many sign-up for the cheapest treatment solutions offered by way of a quotation that is poorly detailed and often ill-conceived for the spaces they are intended for. - You took the time and did your research and can feel secure in the knowledge that the quality window treatments that adorn your home will go the distance and look great and continue to perform long after many of the cheaper solutions on the market have failed their owners.
Thanks also for posting the images which look great but in real life, in my opinion, look even better.
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers





I hope the Warwick Winslow Eastbourne works a treat for you with your project. I will be sure to pass on your feedback to Warwick who always get a kick out of positive feedback about their products.
Thanks again for the 5 stars!
Sincerely
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers



Thanks so much for such thoughtful and flattering feedback. I'm so pleased we were able to help you with your project. The Warwick Gosford Seafoam is a wonderful fabric and I am sure it is going to work a treat for the Arm covers you are making for your lounge suite.
I will be sure to pass on your feedback to Warwick who always love to receive feedback about their great products.
Thank you again for taking the time to leave us a 5-star review. Do send me a pic when it's finished. Esperance sounds like paradise and I'll forever associate the Gosford Seafoam with the beach and house you described to me in our correspondence.
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers



Full credit to Boyac Melbourne the Australian distributor of the beautiful Thibaut Baldwin Herringbone Wallpaper in Wheat. Jessica from Boyac worked with us and really did go above and beyond working with Thibaut, in New York, who they represent, to ensure that your order was fulfilled and delivered without a hitch.
The Thibaut Baldwin Herringbone collection is a beautiful wallcovering and I am sure you will be well pleased with the transformation it will create in the space in which it is to be hung.
Thank you again for taking the time to leave such great positive feedback!
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers

While I can't take credit for the beautiful swags and tails that already adorn your house, I must compliment you on your eye for interiors. Those window treatments look a treat!
I think the James Dunlop cavalier you purchased is the perfect complement as a sheer for those window treatments and I will be sure to pass on your feedback to James Dunlop who, I think, will be as impressed as I am with your completed project.
Thank you again for the wonderful feedback. I'm pleased we were able to rectify an error that was entirely our fault and still please you with both the product and service we provided.
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers



I will be sure to pass on your feedback to Warwick who is the x-factor in our customer service and responsiveness.
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers




It has been a real pleasure dealing with you again and I am so pleased we were able to follow up your first experience dealing with us with another equally positive experience.
As always, I love to hear about your projects, but I would be remiss if I didn't direct the credit for your positive experience both with our service and the quality product you purchase for your projects, to Charles Parsons Interiors who have always backed their premium quality product with outstanding customer support and awesome warehousing and product logistics. - They deserve full credit for getting your product to you in quick time and with a minimum of fuss.
Thanks again for taking the time to provide such positive feedback. I will be sure to pass your comments on to Charles Parsons who always get a kick out of the knowledge that they have played a major part in ensuring our customers are happy campers both in the service they receive and the outstanding product they purchase.
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers



Fortunately, once we found out the reason for the holdup it was easily fixed and your order made it to you safe and sound. .. I just regret the several days delay and for that I apologise as we too were sharing your excitement of getting your beautiful La Palma wallpaper to you for your project and the last thing we wanted to do was to in any way take away from that energy and excitement.
Mokum/James Dunlop also deserves credit as they were instrumental in working with DHL to get your order moving again and were as deeply concerned as we were that a minor oversite on our part had caused the delay.
Please do send us some photos of your finished feature wall once you have hung your wallpaper. The Mokum La Palma Wallpaper in Sepia is fabulous! .. in fact I have my eye on it for my office away from the factory which we I am currently renovating. .. such is my love of this very popular wallpaper.
Thank you also for allowing me to add a pin to my world map of far off places we have shipped to. - Arizona will now conjure thoughts of 'the tropics' .. lol, as a result of your purchase of this very popular and very tropical wallpaper.
Thank you again for providing such positive feedback
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers



Do send some pics of your finished dining chair covers once you have finished them, I would love to see them and I am sure the Ardo being a durable classic jacquard will not only look great but continue to perform and look fabbo for years to come.
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers



I think you are really going to love the transformation the Mokum La Palma in Coral is going to create in your space. Please do send me some pics of your project once finished.
To be fair the awesome team at Mokum/James Dunlop both here and in New Zealand deserve much of the credit for not only have a really outstanding product in their ever popular La Palma wallcovering and fabric, but also for their first-rate logistics management, working with DHL to get your order to you in such quick time.
The world does seem a much smaller place when we can extend our reach to such wonderful customers who are so passionate and work so hard at transforming their spaces.



My brother Pari and I really enjoyed meeting and working with you on your project and we are so pleased that your kitchen is now the 'best room in your house!' ... I wish I could make the same claim about my kitchen .. lol.
Thank you for taking the time to provide such a great review. I will be sure to pass on your feedback to Charles Parsons who will be thrilled to learn that two of their products have worked so well, used in combination, to brighten up your kitchen and make a real difference in that space.
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers




The Pegasus Botany - Corn Silk by Mokum/James Dunlop is a beautiful fabric and ideally suited to the Upholstered pelmet you have in mind for your project.
Do send a pic of the pelmet when it is finished. We manufacture Pelmets ourselves, so I would be very interested to see how the Botany transforms your window once your project is finished!
Credit is certainly due to Team-Mokum/James Dunlop who are the real unsung heroes re the customer service. - They not only have fabulous premium quality products but they back their products with first-rate customer service and support to us and their logistics management working with DHL is fabulous! - I will be sure to forward on your feedback to them both here in Oz and over in the Land of the Long White Cloud. They ALWAYS do a 'happy dance' when I send them feedback, so believe me when I tell you your feedback really is appreciated wide and far.
Good luck with your project and don't forget to send me some piccy's!



Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback. The Mokum Sahel fabric by James Dunlop is a wonderful fabric, so I'm hoping your upholsterer gets a wriggle-on as I'm dying to see piccy's of your finished project.
I would be remiss if I didn't admit that our customer service is smoke and mirrors. .. The real heroes are Team-Mokum/James Dunlop, who with their great products and the friendly team around Australia and New Zealand, really do go out of their way in providing timely advice and information to us for all their products and always follow up with first-class customer and logistics management to ensure that your order is delivered to you quickly and with a minimum of fuss.
When you purchase a product from one of the James Dunlop Group's brands you can rest easy that their premium quality products will always meet and exceed your expectations for quality, and backed by first-rate customer service.
From our own experience as custom drapery manufacturers and the feedback we get from our Upholstery trade customers, we can confidently say that James Dunlop branded fabrics are a joy to work with - Just ask your upholsterer, I'm sure he'll agree with me.
So no 'milk crates' for you for Xmas. ... I'm just getting stuck into the spec for your custom drapery and look forward to continuing with part 2 of your transformation with some gorgeous custom drapery, that in combination with the upholstery work, should really add some long-lasting 'WOW' factor to your space, once your project is complete.
Thanks again for taking the time to leave such thoughtful and flattering positive feedback
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers
ps: Don't forget the piccy's of the upholstery once finished!




You guys made my day!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such positive feedback.
I think the rollers and sheers really did transform spaces throughout your house. The Warwick Chios worked wonderfully in concert with the sfold headings for your sheers and really added the wow factor that Warwick premium quality fabrics are known for.
.. and that is not idle talk. With their 3 year guarantee, you can be confident that your custom made drapery will continue to look good for years come .. long after inferior textiles that come often without any warranty give up the ghost and either burn or shrink due to their not being suited to our harsh Australian conditions and the extremes of temperature we suffer in Melbourne.
I'd also like to thank you for the referrals. It is an ongoing pleasure to meet people like yourselves that take the time to zero in on a custom window treatment solution that they are truly happy with. Landing on the 'right' solution is an iterative approach, which given the outlay, is something that should never be rushed.
Once again thank you so much for taking the time to leave such wonderful feedback. I will be sure to forward it on to Team-Warwick who always get a buzz out of seeing how their products are used in households.
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers.








I'm so pleased we were able to meet and exceed your expectations for the window treatments we made for you. You were an absolute delight to work with and we loved collaborating with you on your project.
Thanks again for the wonderful review. I will be sure to pass your comments on to my brother Pari, who will be thrilled to hear your feedback.
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers



The La Palma Wallpaper and fabric you ordered is fabbo! .. (In fact, I'm trying to choose which colourway will work best in my home office at the moment!). If you get a chance do send me some pics of your finished project. I would love to see how the La Palma has transformed your space.
I will be sure to pass on your positive feedback to Mokum/James Dunlop who always get a kick out of the positive reviews they receive for both their product and their customer service, without which we could not be so successful in getting their great product to you as quickly and safely as possible.
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers








Of course, it goes without saying that working with you to ensure that the expectations of our customers are met or exceeded, just wouldn't be possible without your expert product knowledge and ability to 'make things happen' on our behalf - Thank you so much for all your support, not only during 2019 but for the last several years.
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers







I will be sure to pass on your feedback to both Team-Warwick and Team-Mokum/James Dunlop who, always get a kick out of receiving feedback from the end-users of their premium quality products, which they back with outstanding customer service. - Textiles that will long outlast and out-perform many of the inferior quality and poorly performing competing products which are not at all suited to our harsh Australian conditions.
I look forward to stage 2 of your project in 2020 and am pleased that you'll find our Melbourne Summers and Winters much more tolerable now as a result of your new window treatments.








You were an absolute delight to work with and I look forward to working with you again on your next project!
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide such positive feedback. I will be sure to forward your feedback and image to 'Team-Gummerson' who with their superior product and wonderful customer service have played an essential part in ensuring that your project was delivered on-time and on-budget!



Thanks so much for the great feedback! - I'm thrilled you are happy with your Gummerson fabric that was used to make your drapery and Pelmet. I also think the Charles Parsons Clarence Sheer in White was the perfect compliment to the window treatment ensemble we created for you. .. Also apologies, for missing you when you dropped into the factory to pick up left-over fabric. - I kept the fabric to ensure that everything was ok with the job and I was going to make some tiebacks and a cushion as a surprise but you beat me to it. (if you would like me to make you some tiebacks and a cushion though, .. do let me know .. it just won't be a surprise! .. lol).
Please do send a pic. I would love to see the finished window now that it is installed.
Thanks once again for taking the time to provide such awesome feedback. I will be sure to pass on your feedback to both Gummerson and Charles Parsons who will get a real kick out of your feedback!
You were an absolute pleasure to deal with.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers


Thank you for such an AWESOME review. Made my day (I tried to do cartwheels but only succeeded in rolling around the workroom!)
.. But credit in this instance is fully due to the wonderful team at Mokum/James Dunlop both here in Oz and in the Land of the Long White Cloud (NZ) who like a well-oiled machine were able to fulfil your order and with their well-oiled machine including warehousing and product logistics .. and of course with the assistance of DHL (who were able to get your product to you with German precision) made it all possible.
Of course, our account manager, Alana Ryan, was the real mover and shaker who secured stock for you (without her going above and beyond we would still be waiting for your backorder).
Of course, all this wonderful service that we seemingly steel credit for, we can't forget what a wonderful wallpaper and incredibly popular the La Palma Wallpaper you have purchased is.
Thank you for providing such wonderful feedback. I will be sure to spam 'Team-Mokum/James Dunlop' across two countries as they will get a real kick out of receiving feedback and in the knowledge that their product is making a statement now in Denmark. (And thank you so much for allowing me to stick a pin in my world map with your review the first we have received from Denmark!)
"Mange tak, og jeg ønsker dig alt godt med dit projekt"
Please do send me some pictures once you have completed your project as I would love to see the transformation you create!
My sincerest thanks,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers




Thanks so much for such great feedback. - Especially since things did not go perfectly for you.
I must say that your finished project looks a treat. You certainly have an eye for colour and coordination. Thank you so much for sharing your images. The Gilver is one colourway in the La Palma I had not seen hung, and it looks great!
I really do appreciate the time you took in giving us a review. I'm only sorry we couldn't do more to affect a better outcome given the defect you discovered in the wallpaper. I've already added a dedicated article to our store FAQ's, so hopefully, it will help future customers avoid unnecessary and difficult to resolve issues, which I can honestly say are a very rare occurrence for us.
Thanks again for sharing your experience and for the positive feedback.
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers


Wow, What a stellar project and job. While I can understand it would indeed be a hard job, particularly if you are not an upholstery professional, I can honestly say that it looks like it was covered by a professional!
I will be sure to pass on your feedback to Zepel who have not only superior quality product, but are the unsung heroes, who behind the scenes provide such great support to us, in the fulfilment of orders. They will get a real kick out of the detailed feedback you have provided on the Energetic fabric. .. Also, nice to know that for dog owners, of which I own two, that the Energetic fabric is a good choice, particularly if you are looking for something that can cope with drool and dirty paws.. lol.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such wonderful and detailed feedback and for sharing the image of your project which I am really genuinely impressed by. - You have brightened my whole day and I can't wait to share this feedback with Zepel who will also get a buzz from seeing this feedback from you.
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers






What a wonderful transformation. Thank you so much for keeping me posted with photos as the project progressed. And now, I finally get to see the finished result. Wow!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review complete with images. I have really enjoyed working with you in our small way. Credit is also due to Mokum/James Dunlop for their excellent product and service. That Catherine Martin by Mokum 'La Palma' wallpaper in Sepia really does look a 'tropical' treat. I will be sure to pass on your feedback which they are always so thrilled to receive.
I look forward to your next project. Even if it doesn't involve our products it's nice to have a connection to Iowa and I can't wait to see your next transformation.
Thanks again for taking the time to provide such a wonderful review and all the way from Iowa USA. .. I completely forgot to say how much fun it is reaching out and connecting to people all over the world!
Kindest regards,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers


Also Mokum/James Dunlop did a wonderful job with getting your order for Pegasus Tuba UC - Carnival to you in double quick time from Auckland. .. I will be forwarding your review to both companies who I am sure will get a kick out of the positive feedback you have provided.
.. but wait! .. There is more. I know you have set yourself a rather large task, making your curtains. It certainly is an exciting project. .. So, P-L-E-A-S-E do send me photos when you are finished .. or even return to your review here and edit/add them. Which you can do here on houzz. ... I myself am dying to see the finished project!
Whenever I think of Port Douglass and surrounds .. I'll be thinking of you! .. Wish I was there right now! lol.
Thanks again for providing such wonderful feedback.
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers

There is no substitute for quality and Mokum/James Dunlop certainly were a key ingredient with not only a great product, but the awesome team behind the scenes that worked with us to ensure your order not only made it to you quickly but with a minimum of fuss.
Of course, Peter from Decoroll deserves credit for doing a fantastic job with his team on hanging the wallpaper. It really shows you how important it is to invest in a superior product, but having it professionally installed/hung. The two go hand in hand and are critical to the success of any wallcovering project.
Thanks again for taking the time to leave us a review. .. and for sending the image which really made my day. I will be sure to pass it on to everyone who will be thrilled to see your finished project!
Kindest regards,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers


Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback. I'm so pleased you are happy with your purchase. Please don't forget to send me some piccy's once it is finished.
Of course, the unsung heroes in our adventure together are Mokum/James Dunlop. They were always there with me to make sure order fulfilment and delivery runs like a well-oiled machine. First rate customer service and an outstanding product line-up. .. They really make it very easy for me to please customers.
Now every time I think of either the La Palma fabric (or wallpaper), I'm going to think of Mauritius. As I think I mentioned to you, I'm putting a colourful cocktail umbrella ☂ as your pin in my map of places worldwide we have shipped our product to. .. It will, of course, overshadow every other pin ... but then there are really no other pins that are located in a paradise such as where you are located.
Thanks again for such thoughtful feedback. I will be sure to pass it on to Mokum/James Dunlop who will get a kick out of hearing your comments.
Warmest regards,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers


Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. Aside from the courier hiccup, I'm so pleased that you are thrilled with the Warwick Wool Library Harris Loam you purchased.
Credit, where credit is due. Darren, Warwick's shipping manager deserves a lot of credit for sorting out the logistics related to your order. He kept me well informed and really took it upon himself to make sure we got your order to you as quickly as possible once we drew his attention to a possible issue with the courier. Very typical of the very high level of customer service that Warwick backs their products with. .. So a team effort.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. I will be sure to pass it on to Warwick who will be as thrilled as we are that we were able to put a smile on your face.
Kindest regards,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers.





I will be sure to pass on your feedback to Zepel who like us will be thrilled to hear that you are pleased with your purchase.
Thanks again for the wonderful 5-star review. Please send me pictures of your finished project. Both the team at IDM and at Zepel get such a kick out of seeing the fabrics we sell incorporated into our customer's projects.
Sincerely,
Nancy

I love the before and after shot you sent me and which I have included here. What a transformation! Well done you!
Thanks again for taking the time to not only leave us such a wonderful review but also for sharing the 'before' and 'after' project image which really underlines what a transformation you can make if you have a good eye and use great product! :)

Nancy :)



Happy New Year! I hope you enjoyed the Christmas break, I know I did .... It's never long enough especially after the hard slog we had during the Christmas madness prior to closure.
Just a quick one to say thank you so much for your lovely review. It has been a pleasure working with you gorgeous, and I look forward to doing all over again this year. We have had some stressful ones last year but at least you and I always had a good laugh along the way ;-)
Thanks again for the review, look forward to catching up with you soon.
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers

I am so pleased that we were able to make your purchase stress free, and considering the cost per metre of the James Dunlop Elemental Diamond and Cloud it is great to know that we got your delivered to your doorstep in tip top condition.
You must send me some photo's of the finished curtains in your home .... I would love to see how spectacular the fabric looks made up!
Thanks again Bridget for taking the time to leave us a review.
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers





Happy New Year to both you and Monica.
Thank you for leaving us such an awesome review Rodney! It means so much to me when I hear back from our clients about how happy they are, not only with the finished order but the service we have provided, and their whole experience with our company. So THANK YOU!!
The drapes we made for you in the Warwick Utopia colour Mink looked great in your room :))
I have to say that you were such fun, and did make me giggle quite a bit ... not to mention blush several times too ... you are a cheeky one Rodney but it was all in just good fun ;-P
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers

Happy New Year! I do hope that Emily and you had a Merry Christmas, and enjoyable New Year celebrations. I'm sure like me, your fellow Greek you ate and drank too much lol.
Just wanted to say THANK YOU for your awesome review! I am so pleased that you guys are happy with the end results installed. I feel like both Pari and I have made some friends during the way (and yes I know Pari is your favourite, but we all know it's really me :-)
The final look of the rooms look amazing, thanks to the fabrics we selected. I love the study s-fold sheer using the James Dunlop Cavalier in colour Natural. I LOVE this sheer, hangs well, looks high end and an affordable price. In combination with the coloured block out lining we used from James Dunlop Nitefall range, really does finish the room off.
The drapes and roman blinds in the Charles Parsons Lansdowe colour White Pepper also look amazing. I love how the fabric has a slight texture, not plain and not overly textured. The White Pepper is a great colour and worked really well in the bedrooms.
Loved working with you both on your project, hope to work with you again in the near future. Please send my regards to the lovely Emily.
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers


Happy New Year gorgeous! I hope that Callum, you and the kids enjoyed Christmas and that you are all well :))
WOW! Thank you for your kind words, and taking the time to leave us such an AMAZING review Jess. It means a lot that we were able help turn your vision on what you wanted for the bi fold door into your dream curtain!
The Warwick Aesop sheer in colour Sepia looks fantastic! The colour works really well along with the James Dunlop Solarline coloured lining in Cloud. The end look completed by utilising the Silent Gliss 3840 Wave track.
I love how now, after the process you are so aware of quality and finishes when it comes to window treatments. I loved your comment to me when I dropped in with the tieback bands, that you take notice other tracks and sheers now and can really compare the differences... that is so awesome Jess!
I guess the biggest test was Callum's reaction... Until he saw the finished window treatment in the room, he was anxious especially as it was such a costly window to dress. Having Callum come home and say WOW, looks amazing and how happy he was, really was the icing on the cake.
It has been such a pleasure dealing with you ....we have had some good ching wags and laughs along the way!
Thanks again Jess :)
Sincerely | Ideal Drape Makers
PS - I am posting the photo you sent me of the sheer wave curtain when Pari and Paul installed, and also a couple of pictures of Sergeant and Trixie as I know how much you love my fur babies a.k.a my two little cocker spaniels, enjoy xx".









You were such a pleasure to work with Andy, and I am so very happy that my team and I were able to provide you with the look and the quality that you were after. I think the finished window treatments look stunning.
THANK YOU for the amazing review and for posting photo's of our work! Thank you also for taking the time to leave us a review, I know how busy you are so it means a lot :)
The theatre room drape and pelmet in the Warwick Utopia Red works so well. Although the Warwick Utopia fabric is a cost effective faux velvet, the fabric itself makes up well and hangs beautifully.
Thanks to our fantastic Charles Parsons account manager and his state manager, it pleases me that we were able to negotiate a great price on the Ashridge fabric in colour Macadamia. This is absolutely one of my favourite fabric collection from Charles Parsons. With a range of colours and coordinate fabrics from traditional jacquards, stripes, geometric and plain. In your home Andy, I just knew this would work on your drapes, roman blinds and swags. With the addition of the Castle Trimmings New York Classic collection which we used on the swags and roman blinds, and of course the rope tiebacks elevated the look to the next level.
I like how we kept the sheer plain by using the Charles Parsons Clarence colour White, as it is subtle and elegant as to not distract from the drapes.
I really did enjoy working on your project, from being hands on with making your roman blinds, and swags & tails, to helping you select the right fabric and colours and trimmings. Your project had such a variety and mix of window treatments which I think aesthetically all works well in your home. So happy to have exceeded your expectations!
Thanks again from both Pari and me, and please send our regards to your family.
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers


Your drapes and pelmet box in the Nettex Dalton colour Liquor along with the Nettex Oasis sheer in Driftwood really do look fantastic Matt. It pleases me that you are happy with the fabric recommendations I suggested on our consultation at the factory, and that you absolutely love it made up :))
THANK YOU for also going out of your way to take the time to say nice things about us!
I am overwhelmed with all the wonderful feed back you have left us ... WOW!
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers





It has always been such a pleasure to work with both you and Valentina. You guys are fantastic, and I always enjoy having a chit chat with Valentina, she is absolutely delightful :))
Thanks again for the great review! I look forward to working with you again soon ;-)
My regards to Val and the family.
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers


The drapes in the rental property using the James Dunlop Envoy 2 in colour Parchment look beautiful. Love this linen look fabric from James Dunlop, the Envoy 2 collection offers that textured woven linen look that is so cost effective. With the added advantage as you know of having the drapes made without any joins by using the fabric continuously :))
We do indeed look forward to working with you next year!
Really really REALLY! - appreciate the kind comments. Thanks again Liz!





Once again, really appreicate your kind words!
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers





I think Warwick deserves big huggles and cuddles for helping to 'smoothing the way' by speeding up delivery of your backordered fabric just for you! ... They gave us an ETA and managed to reign in the initial timeframe quoted by a good month.
I'll be sure to share your review with them. .. They'll get a kick out of it as we always do when we share a customer's 'warm fuzzies' back to them.
Thanks so much for the 'adventure' ... I keep referring it as that, but it was indeed a journey and I enjoyed it ever so much dealing with you.
Thanks again for taking the time to say some nice things about us (and Warwick Fabrics!) .. and all the best with your project!
Sincerely,
Nancy | ideal Drape Makers

I'm so pleased Warwick's Beachcomber fabric has proved a success with your project.
I will be sure to pass on to the good folk at Warwick your feedback!
Thanks again for taking the trouble to provide such great feedback!
Do send a piccy of your project when it's complete. We would love to see it.
Warmest regards,
Nancy | ideal Drape Makers





THANKS again Bev, I look forward in working with you again on your next project.
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers




I must admit even I was surprised with the speed your order was delivered to you. Do be sure to send us a pic of your finished project. I am sure your project will be a great success.
Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review for us and your kind words. It really gave our whole team a kick!
Nancy :)










I enjoyed working with both you and Veruna on your project. I am pleased that we were able meet all your expectations, and making your vision for your home into exactly what you both were wanting for your newly purchased apartment in the city .... with the most amazing views of Melbourne :))
Thanks again for such a AMAZING review, really appreciated by all of the team here at IDM.
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers






I am so glad that you went with my recommendation of bumph interlining the drapes as to reduce the noise from the traffic outside, and that you are happy with how well that works in dampening the sound from the outside world :))
Thank you again, best wishes!
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers



















I must say both Pari and I were both impressed with your finished project. The shutters look stunning! .. and with a 10 year warranty, you have peace of mind!
Thanks again for taking the time to leave us such a glowing review. ... and don't forget to drop in if you are passing by for a coffee!
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers

Don't be shy and be sure to drop in for a coffee if you are passing by. I always love catching up with people! ... I'll get Dad to put an extra strong brew of Greek coffee on for you, so that you'll be sure to power through the rest of your day! lol
Many thanks again!
Nancy | ideal Drape Makers

... Stop playing with the remote control though. .... It's not a TV! .. Though you do have a 5 year warranty ... so you will be assured of being able to continue your 'viewing pleasure' for many years to come!
Many thanks again,
Nancy | ideal Drape Makers

I was so pleased we were able to help you with your Nursing Home project and deliver within the very tight time frame you required. You were a pleasure to deal with and I am looking forward to working with you on future projects in 2018!
Many thanks again, :))
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers

Good luck with your Upholstery project. Do send me a pic of the finished project when it is finished. I would love to see it!
Many thanks again!

Many thanks again,

Thanks again for your kind words and good luck with your project!

I'm so pleased you are pleased with your Wilson Fabric. Don't be shy sending us pics when you have completed your project!
Thanks again for your great review. - It really means a lot to both us and Wilson Fabrics!
Sincerely,
Nancy :)

What a thrill and an absolute pleasure it was for both Mokum/James Dunlop and ourselves to be able to assist you with your wallpaper. The wallpaper is Fab and our love of Deco is something we both share in common.
My regards to Sweden!

Don't hesitate to send us a pic of how the chairs came up after you have finished your upholstery project.
Many thanks again!
Kindest regards,
Nancy :)

.. I still find it hard to believe that we can get orders to NZ often more quickly than we can to Sydney from Melbourne.
Good luck with your project and don't be shy about sending me some pics when you have finished. ... I would love to show the team down at Basford Brands (Maurice Kain). They get a kick out of seeing their product in use!
Nancy :)

I'm so pleased that your Warwick fabric lives up to your expectations. Thanks so much for the kind words. and good luck with the 'squab covers'

I'm so pleased you received your order in good order. Our couriers have been doing a sterling job and we have been struggling to get tracking information to customers 'before' their orders are delivered. ... We had a NZ order delivered yesterday overnight (which was amazing) and I believe your order only took 2 days. which is not bad from Melbourne to North QLD.
Thanks again for your order and if you feel so inclined, do send us some pics of your finished project. We get a real kick out of seeing the wonderful creations our customers produce with the beautiful fabrics we have in our catalogue.
Nancy :)






I'm so pleased over your response to our work. You were an absolute pleasure to deal with and your advice re visiting the showrooms of the fabric houses is a great way to shortcut fabric selections in addition to ordering FREE cuttings off our online store.
Thanks again for your wonderful praise. I really appreciate you taking the time to give us your review!
Sincerely,
Nancy | Ideal Drape Makers

I look forward to your next project, but hope you will not feel you need to wait for a project to drop in for a coffee and a chin-wag!
Please say hello to Jim!
Kindest regards,
Nancy | ideal Drape Makers :))

We have loved working with you and your team for the last half a dozen years or so and are so pleased that you value the quality of our work and get a thrill every time we get feedback from you about how pleased you and your clients are with our work.
Nancy :))

Thanks again for the great review. I really appreciate the time you have taken and are tickled pink that you are so pleased with the fabric.
Nancy :))






.. and we look forward to your next project, though you don't have to use that as an excuse to drop in. We have long memories and enjoy catching up with customers we have worked with on drapery and other window treatment projects.
Nancy :)








We agree! .. The shutters did really lift the house and we are so pleased you are happy with them. Thanks once again for choosing IDM for your shutters and we look forward to seeing more pics of Harrison as he continues to grow!
Nancy :))


We have always appreciated how smoothly the projects we are commissioned to make, are supply chain managed and coordinated. It makes our job that much easier, allowing us to focus on our craft; delivering quality custom made window treatments that not only meet your client's high expectations in terms of quality craftsmanship, but which also satisfy the very high quality and service standards you demand from all your project delivery partners.
We look forward to further developing our working relationship and continuing to deliver stunning window treatment projects for your discerning clientele.




Thanks again for the kind words. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review.
Nancy :))

Luisa is tickled pink with your review as it really made her day. Thanks again for going out of your way to leave us a review. It's happy clients that produce and reviews like yours that provide us with the true satisfaction and profit in running our business.
Nancy :))

Let me say it's an absolute pleasure dealing with a design professional with whom we share the same commitment to service and quality and yet at the same time a joy to work with, particularly with complex projects that require attention to detail, often within tight timeframes.
We have really enjoyed working with you and look forward to the opportunity of further developing our working relationship going forward.
Nancy :)

I'd like to thank the ever so helpful team at Charles Parsons too. Kylie, Maggie, Chris, Gabby, Steve and of course, Kon our Account Manager, as well as many who I haven not named who make the cogs in the machine at CP work so smoothly.
Of course, with so many fabulous collections, we only wish you could be with us when our custom made window treatments made utilising your fabrics are fitted. It's then that the superior quality of Charles Parsons fabrics really shines through.
Thanks again for taking the time to write us such a great review!

You were a pleasure to deal with and we hope you enjoy your treatments for many years to come.
Nancy :)

Thank you for a wonderful review.
Nancy :)

Thanks again for the wonderful recommendation!
Nancy :)

Nancy :)





Thanks again for such a wonderful and very flattering review. We look forward to working with you again in the New Year!
Nancy :)

You were pleasure to deal with. Please do not hesitate to drop in for a coffee if you are passing by. I promise that I will stop Dad making you Greek coffees so you'll be able to sleep at night.
Nancy :-)

Thanks again for your support in 2015 and look forward to the 'beyond' with you in 2016!
Nancy :)


Thank you so much for such a great reivew. We have now provided window treatments for several of your properties and home and it's always a pleasure to help realise your design vision for each project.
It goes without saying that Pari and I always enjoy catching up with you both and look forward to watching my father force feed both you very strong Greek coffee when you visit. ;-)
Thanks again so much for your continued and ongoing support.
Nancy :))

We felt particularly touched that both you and John chose to have us make window treatments for your own home. Thanks once again for all your support and have a great 2016!
Nancy :)

We look forward to working with you on your next project... Particularly any that afford just a little more time! :-)))
Nancy :)

Nancy :)

What an awesome review! Thank you so much for your ongoing support. We really have enjoyed playing our part in the transformations you have performed in your investment properties, and of course, your home.
We look forward to working with you again in the New Year and can't wait to see you now that you have moved back to Melbourne from Adelaide.
Looking forward to seeing you in 2016.
Nancy :))

We have really appreciated your help over the years. It is just unfortunate that in so many cases the client is not aware of the hurdles our suppliers sometimes have to jump while working in partnership with us to deliver our window treatment solutions. You are definitely one of our favourite unsung hero's and we are only sorry you are not able to directly share in the adulation we receive from clients when their drapery is installed.
You were always one of my mother's favourites and I know she was yours....
Looking forward to working with you in the New Year.
Nancy :))




You both were a pleasure to deal with and we were very pleased with your fabric selection and the transformation that your s-fold sheers created in conjunction with your existing roller-blinds.
We are looking forward to working with you on your next project when you land in your next property within the next couple of years.
Nancy :))

We love working with our customers, but we get a special kick out of working with customers on their second and third projects. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the recommendations you have provided to your friends who have also become valued clients.
All the best for 2016 and we look forward to your next project and the opportunity of working with you again.
Nancy :)))

Thank you again for your wonderful review.
Nancy :)))

From time to time we work on projects that test us all. Given the time and budget constraints you were a pleasure to deal with and I think at the end of the project, we both felt a sense of having battled by each other's side in the trenches. Your good humour through it all, especially given the pressures of a pre-Christmas delivery never failed to put a smile on my face.
Thank you so much for your glowing recommendation and I look forward to working with you on your next project.
Nancy :))

Thank you so much for your great review. I am so pleased you are happy with stage 1 of your order and I am looking forward to the delivery and installation of stage two of your order in the coming weeks.
You were a pleasure to deal with and never ceased to make me smile even on the hottest of summer days when the factory becomes uncomfortably hot.
I hope you are enjoying some relief from the heat with the roman and e-screen blind in the master bedroom.
Thanks again, and I look forward to talking with you again in the coming weeks.
Nancy :))



I spent some time exploring the work of some of the great interior photographers on Houzz and felt that you would be ideal for the photo-shoots of client we required.
We had no idea that organising so many photo-shoots would require so much organisation. You were not only patient with us but gave us lots of great advice on how go about organising the shoots. Your time estimates were 'spot on' and your ability to orchestrate and style for each image left me in awe. The finished images really did capture the wow in each clients property and we have very positive feedback from each client who is so pleased to see their window treatments featured in our Houzz projects.
I would also like to thank you for going out of your way to attend photo-shoots in the days leading up to your wife's impending birth of the newest member of your family. I would also like to extend my thanks and appreciation for the work you did unattended at some of the properties where the clients sang your praises highly.
Thanks again for the great review and we look forward to working with you again on upcoming photo-shoots.
Nancy :))

You were a pleasure to deal with. I am so pleased the side-drapes with contrast banding, decorative rods, tiebacks and min-pelmets for your existing roller-blinds your master bedroom are a huge success. It was very helpful in the early stages of the projects to view images of your vision and to collaborate with you in defining and designing the solution.
Nancy :))

Thanks so much for such a flattering review. I am so pleased you went with the Wave-Top curtain heading. ... Yes they did cost more, but really did add a 'wow' factor that would have been missing had you gone for another heading type, given the style of room and decor you have.
Nancy :))

We were so pleased to be able to assist you in preparation for your 'special occasion.' We would also like to thank you for choosing to give us your custom as we were aware that you had already received several quotations. You were a pleasure to deal with given the considerable pressures you were under given your time constraints.
Thank you also for the positive feedback from your guests who loved the transformation you created with the Acmeda Zipscreens for your al-fresco area.
Nancy :)))

Working with you on both your home and investment property window treatments was an absolute pleasure and like you, we are very proud of the finished look you have created in both properties.
We look forward to catching up with you during 2016 for an update on Eleanor progress.
Nancy :))

Please do not hesitate to send your friend our way when the time comes. - I must admit your review caused me to laugh out loud as I picture you trying to hide that gorgeous smile of yours.
Thanks again for the great review and we look forward to seeing you again sometime in 2016.
Nancy :))

It was a pleasure to assist you and Chris in the selection of your window treatments. We are so pleased they met your expectations and that almost 8 years later they still look good and are continuing to perform well.
Thanks again,
Nancy :)))

Nancy :))

Working with both you and Chris was an absolute delight and we are so pleased that we were able to assist you with your window treatments and for the opportunity of working with you again since the purchase of your initial window solutions.
Thank you also for keeping me updated with photos on little Lucas who has grown so much since we first met him. A big 'hug' and 'kiss' to my little handsome man!
Thanks you again, and I look forward to talking with you throughout 2016.
Nancy :))

I always enjoy our playful banter and frequent chiding of each other, which given the pressures we both face, make the work that much more pleasurable to look back on after a project is completed.
We look forward to continuing to collaborate with you on projects in 2016.
Nancy :))
Thanks again and all the best of luck with your project!
