Sometimes it’s hard to picture how much a home can change until you actually see it. That’s why we love sharing real-life transformations from our K to Z clients across South Louisiana—projects that turned “just okay” spaces into “wow-worthy” showcases of comfort, function, and custom design.
If you’ve been on the fence about moving forward with your quote—or you’re just not sure what’s possible—these three stories are for you. Each one started with a conversation and ended with a space that truly works for the people who live there.
Let’s take a look at what’s possible with the right window or outdoor treatment partner.
Transformation #1: Interior Shutters in a New Build (Prairieville, LA)
The Client: The Thompsons, a family building their forever home in Prairieville, wanted window treatments that felt “finished” from day one.
The Challenge: They had just moved in, and their large front-facing windows were uncovered. Privacy was an issue, and they didn’t want to rush into a decision and end up with something that didn’t match their style.
The Solution: During their in-home consultation, we helped them explore options that felt timeless but also practical. They chose plantation shutters in a crisp white composite finish—perfect for Louisiana’s humidity and their clean, modern farmhouse design.
The shutters instantly elevated the home’s curb appeal and gave them full control over privacy and light.
“We had so many decisions to make during the build—this was one we got right thanks to you. It looks like something out of a magazine.”
– Sarah T., homeowner
Before: Large bare windows, no privacy
After: Custom-fit plantation shutters that tied the whole interior design together
Transformation #2: Motorized Screens for Outdoor Living (Baton Rouge, LA)
The Client: Jerry and LaToya had recently added a covered patio to their Baton Rouge home but weren’t using it much.
The Problem: They loved the idea of outdoor dining, but every attempt ended in frustration—mosquitoes, sun glare, and lack of privacy made the space uncomfortable by noon.
The Solution: We installed motorized retractable screens on three sides of the patio. With one touch of a button, the screens drop down to create an enclosed, shaded environment that still lets in the breeze but keeps the bugs out.
They now use the space for family dinners, movie nights with the kids, and quiet mornings with coffee.
“It’s a completely different experience now. We use the patio almost every day—and everyone who visits asks us where we got the screens.”
– LaToya R., homeowner
Before: Covered patio exposed to bugs and sun
After: Motorized privacy and comfort, year-round usability
Transformation #3: Drapery + Shades Combo Makeover (Lafayette, LA)
The Client: A newly retired couple in Lafayette wanted to refresh their formal living room into a cozy retreat for reading, relaxing, and entertaining.
The Challenge: The space felt dated with heavy curtains and dark wood blinds. It lacked softness and didn’t reflect their evolving style.
The Solution: We worked with them to design a layered window treatment approach: neutral-toned Roman shades for functionality paired with flowing side panel drapery for texture and warmth. The result was a lighter, airier look that still offered privacy and light control.
Their home now feels refreshed, elegant, and inviting—with a distinctly modern Southern charm.
“You made it so easy. The space feels like us now, and it’s amazing how different the room looks without changing the furniture.”
– Carol & Mike J., homeowners
Before: Dated, heavy window treatments
After: Soft, transitional layering that brightened the room and softened the space
