The backdrop for the perfect “staycation,” this spacious home in historic Ellicott City boasts inviting spaces for reading, watching movies and catching up with friends. An in-law suite, theater room and plenty of bedrooms provide a welcoming, resort style atmosphere.

Our collaboration with a Howard County interior designer challenged Sew Beautiful with 56 windows in rooms that each required window coverings with specific needs and functions. Planning for the custom window treatments began early in the building phase, offering opportunities for hard-wired automated shades.

The main living areas are dressed with Hunter Douglas Silhouette with Duolite sheer shades. Traditional draperies and valances add the finishing touches, framing the picturesque views. Silhouette and Duolite offer the best of both worlds for the bedrooms, with light control for privacy by day, and room darkening for sleeping.
