Client reviews - Custom Window Treatments, Designer Draperies, Valances and Interior Design

Client Testimonials

I had a wonderful experience working with Mal and Spiritcraft. I had just finished decorating my house. There was something missing and I could not put my finger on it. Then I realized I needed window treatments. I contacted Malgorxata at Spiritcraft Design. She responded promptly, came to my house, designed something perfect and provided a very fair quote. She started by assisting me with the picking out of the fabrics and designing the panels and valances for my LR. When she installed my first set of window treatments and I loved the difference they made in my Living Room. I was so impressed with her artistry, workmanship and design, I ended up using her for every window in my house. The result is amazing. She additionally created two stunning padded headboards, one contemporary and one traditional in a velvet. Now I am proud to say my house is now a home!!!! Thank you for your timeliness, professionalism, and care in creating a rich environment for me to live in. You are the best!

We used Spiritcraft for all our custom window treatments in our restored Victorian Bed and Breakfast this Winter. Mal designed unique treatments for all of our main rooms and guestrooms. We have decorative panels, valances, cornices and wonderful swags. She was able to provide us with the nicest window treatments in far better fabrics than we ever thought were possible. Her pillows and duvet covers are the finest we have ever seen as well. In providing us with interior decor that looks like Architectural Digest or the "Scalamandre Book", they beat our prior lowest interior designer estimate by more than 25%!

We used Mal at Spiritcraft to custom make several panels, valances and a roman shade for our home and were just blown away at the results and the price. She beat our estimate from JCP and gave us more than we had ever imagined. She helped us find our style and produced some of the finest panels, swags and pillows we had ever seen. We also were introduced to using grommets, board mounts etc... Another designer would have charged us 2 times the price!!! We were able to afford true designer only fabrics because they do not gouge their clients and they did an amazing job from design through installation. There is no other option... these people are wonderful.

Our experience with Spiritcraft has been wonderful. They designed and installed stunning window treatments in four rooms so far and they will be doing the rest of our house. They made us amazing drapery panels with swags and jabots, custom designed valances and the nicest Lambrequin cornices for our dining room that you can imagine. We also purchased a New Millennium sideboard and china cabinet in solid Walnut. The quality is amazing and I think it is designed and made much better than the Cherry one we almost bought at Moser at twice the cost. They have also done a custom desk and an amazing solid Cherry Queen size bed. We could not be happier.

The best custom roman shades and drapes! I would like to comment on the roman shades that I had Spiritcraft make for me. I am so very pleased how they turned out and Mal is an artist when it comes to designing treatments.

I am an Interior Designer who uses Skip and Spiritcraft almost exclusively for his trademark work. Absolutely fantastic construction to be handed down to the generations. I cant say enough about the hardwoods he uses, and the thought he places in the construction. Beautiful.

We were looking for quality furniture for months and were very disappointed with what we found in every furniture store and interior designer in the area until we found Spiritcraft. Our first order with them was a custom made solid Walnut and Cherry mantel and an entertainment center in Cherry with figured Walnut pulls. The custom made entertainment center is beautiful and has book matched dovetailed custom made drawers for storage of DVD's. We thought we knew quality until we experienced the true craftsmanship of Spiritcraft!

We were so impressed with the quality and value of our first pieces, we ordered the rest of our living room furniture. The living room included two end tables in Cherry, a cocktail table and a sofa table in Cherry and Walnut. Again Spiritcraft surpassed all of our expectations! Our living room furniture is exceptional, has wonderful details and is made from woods that we still are amazed by.

Then of course to finish off our room we needed to have new drapes. We ordered 2 new window coverings from Malgorzata. She was very patient with us we must of looked through every one of her fabric books. Once we picked out our fabrics she kept us informed when our material was coming in and when the cornice and drapes would be finished. When she installed our window treatments they just finished off our room beautifully! Skip and Malgorzata are true professional in their respective trades and I would recommend them to anyone I know. You won't be disappointed, give them a call.

We use Spiritcraft Design for both window treatments and hardwood furniture. The first piece that I had made was a solid walnut sideboard and china cabinet in 2005. It by far exceeded my expectations then and is even more beautiful today. We originally looked into a Thomas Moser cabinet, but we are so happy that we went with Spiritcraft Design. You wont find any cheap "made in China" hardware on their pieces either. I have since bought a solid walnut, slab top bar, multi-wood bed, an entertainment center and a custom desk.

Their furniture, it is all solid hardwood and made to last for generations. We have Walnut, Cherry and Maple pieces and the quality of the hardwood is amazing. All of the joints are perfect, the nicest drawers I have seen and the grain and colors in the bookmatched woods are incredible. You simply can not buy furniture like this at any store and it is priced very fairly. We have been so happy with our purchases and will be a very long term customer, We can not have a higher recommendation. In a word, exceptional.

We have two Spiritcraft pieces and are awaiting a third. We originally ordered an Exotica cocktail table and must say that there is nothing like the quality available. It has a Walnut slab top, two solid Walnut and Cherry panel legs and is insanely heavy and well made. We also have a Bossa Nova hall table that is also just perfect. That table fits our mid century decor perfectly and is spectacular. We await our Exotica upholstered sofa in Walnut and Cherry. We know it will be museum quality as well! We have been very pleased with our Spiritcraft furniture and will be a long term client. Thank you so much.
